Consider a hydrodynamically fully developed laminar flow through a circular pipe with the flow along the axis (i.e., z direction). In the following statements, $T$ is the temperature of the fluid, $T_w$ is the wall temperature and $T_m$ is the bulk mean temperature of the fluid. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?

A

For a thermally fully developed flow, $\frac{\partial T}{\partial z} = 0,$ always.

B

For constant wall temperature of the duct, $\frac{dT_m}{dz} = $ constant.

C

Nusselt number varies linearly along the z direction for a thermally fully developed flow.

D

For constant wall temperature $(T_w > T_m)$ of the duct, $\frac{dT_m}{dz}$ increases exponentially with distance along z direction.
