In the present work, a wall element technique based on finite element method (FEM) has been developed and adopted in the zone which is closed to the solid walls of a long straight channel which replaces the traditional use of the empirical laws for the determination of confined turbulent flow associated heat transfer. The validity of this technique was investigated and well compared with other standard techniques.
