A new all-time analytical model is developed to predict transient internal forced-convection heat transfer under arbitrary time-dependent wall temperature. Slug flow condition is assumed for the velocity profile inside the tube. The solution to the time-dependent energy equation for a step wall temperature is generalized for arbitrary time variations in surface temperature using Duhamel’s theorem. A harmonic boundary temperature is considered, and new compact closed-form relationships are proposed to predic: 1) fluid temperature distribution; 2) fluid bulk temperature; 3) wall heat flux; and 4) the Nusselt number. An optimum value is found for the dimensionless angular frequency of the wall temperature to maximize the heat transfer rate of the studied unsteady forced-convective process. Such dimensionless parameter depends upon the imposed-temperature angular frequency, fluid thermophysical properties, and tube geometrical parameters. A general surface temperature is considered, and the temperature field inside the medium is obtained using a superposition technique. An independent numerical simulation is performed using ANSYS® Fluent. The comparison between the obtained numerical data and the present analytical model shows good agreement: a maximum relative difference less than 4.9%.
