From review of literature:
An explicit parameter for discerning the effect of axial conduction on
the heat transport coefficient in microchannel flows, under a given
set of geometry and boundary conditions, is still not available.
Most flows in microchannel heat transfer applications are
simultaneously developing in nature.
Circular microtubes are used in many applications

Some Concluding Remarks:
1. Ks/kf determines the extent of the axial conduction in the tube wall.
2. Relative tube thickness also play a role in axial back-conduction.
3. Increasing flow Re reduces the axial back-conduction.
4. A constant temperature boundary condition applied on the outer surface of the tube can manifest itself as a constant heat flux boundary condition on the actual fluid-solid interface
5. For constant heat flux boundary condition, the results explicitly indicate the existence of an optimum value of the thermal conductivity ratio for maximizing the Nusselt number, for a given flow rate and wall thickness ratio.
6. Unless true distribution of temperature at the fluid-solid interface, true bulk fluid temperature and the heat flux is known, the estimates of Nusselt number can be misleading.
