(Nu), for constant wall heat flux and (Nu)t at constant wall temperature for a hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed laminar flow through a circular pipe of the constant cross-section is 4.36 and 3.66 respectively. Hence, (Nu), > (Nu)T.

@Mr. Mahesh.

Please correct your answer Nusselt number for fully developed laminar flow through a round pipe is,

Nu = 3.66 for isothermal pipe (Ts = constant).

Nu = 3.36 for constant heat flux pipe.

For a uniform wall temperature:
NuD = 3.66.
For a uniform heat flux through the tube wall:
NuD = 4.36.

The Correct answer:

For constant heat flux, Nu = 4.36.
For constant surface temp, Nu = 3.66.
