Significance of Rarefaction, Streamwise Conduction, and Viscous Dissipation on the Extended Graetz–Nusselt Problem: The Case of Finite-Length Microchannels with Prescribed Wall Heat Flux

The article addresses the extended Graetz–Nusselt problem in finite-length microchannels for prescribed wall heat flux boundary conditions, including the effects of rarefaction, streamwise conduction, and viscous dissipation. The analytical solution proposed, valid for low-intermediate Peclet values...
