A steady heat transfer problem was analyzed as a conjugated problem between a fully‐established laminar flow and the duct wall, under two kinds of boundary conditions at the outer wall surface. The internal heat generation is described as a linear function of the fluid temperature. The influence of the heat conduction in the wall was found to be important for the case with small wall conductance under a boundary condition of the first kind, and also for the large wall‐conductance case under the second condition. Such influence is more significant for the case with an internal heat source.
