Geoff Silcox % % % % % % 1-D fully developed duct-flow heat transfer in a slit of height d. I am using a node-centered grid with n control volumes that are all the same size. The nodes are midway between the boundaries of the CVs. I have used a dimensional formulation. The flux along the top and bottom of slit is uniform and given. 28 March 2004
