Solutions are obtained for three illustrative cases of unsteady heat transfer to slug flows, taking axial conduction into account. The magnitude of the correction to the solutions neglecting this effect is shown to be quite appreciable near the leading edge. In agreement with previous steady state estimates, the axial conduction correction becomes negligible for Peclet numbers in excess of 100.
