Consider a laminar forced flow inside a pipe with constant wall temperature, the heat flux will have a higher value near the of the pipe.

Inlet

Explanation:

Consider a laminar forced flow inside a pipe with constant wall temperature, the heat flux will have a higher value near the INLET of the pipe.

This is because the friction factor is experienced at the highest level when a laminar forced flow is at the tube inlet where the thickness of the boundary layer is zero. Also, the friction factor decreases step by step at a lower rate to the fully augmented value.
