The Graetz problem for a power-law non-Newtonian fluid is studied under both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions with axial conduction both excluded and included. It is demonstrated that axial conduction can only safely be ignored for Péclet numbers greater than 1000, especially in the entrance of the heated section. A technique based on Sturm-Liouville integral transforms is used to solve the governing equations.
