The Galerkin integral method is applied to solve the flow field and friction factor for laminar flow in eccentric annular ducts with constant wall temperature at the boundaries. The flow is assumed to be hydrodynamically fully developed, laminar, and Newtonian. The values of C{sub f} Re and thermally fully developed Nusselt number are presented for annular ducts with zero eccentricity. The results are in good agreement with those in the literature. However, due to numerical difficulties, only the values of C{sub f} Re are shown for eccentric annular ducts with small eccentricity.
