Using the process parameter description, we analyzed the difference between the characteristics of laminar convections through parallel plain planes with uniform temperature and heat flux. The results show the following. (1) On the wall surface of the developing region, under uniform heat flux boundary condition, the heat flux normal to the wall surface is transported through a convection process although the velocity is zero; the velocity gradient contributes to this transport, but under uniform temperature boundary condition, the heat flux normal to the wall surface is transported through a difussion process. (2) Inside the flow of the developing region, whether under uniform temperature or heat flux boundary condition, the heat flux along the main flow direction and the heat flux normal to the wall surface are transported through a convection process, and the contributions of velocity and velocity gradient are dependent on the thermal boundary condition. (3) On the wall surface of the fully developed region, under uniform heat flux boundary condition, the heat flux normal to the wall surface is transported through a convection process; the velocity gradient contributes to this transport, but under uniform temperature boundary condition, the heat flux normal to the wall surface is transported through a diffusion process. (4) Inside the flow of the fully developed region, under uniform temperature boundary condition, the heat flux along the main flow direction and the heat flux normal to the wall surface are transported through a convection process, and the velocity and velocity gradient contribute to these transports; under uniform heat flux boundary condition, the heat flux along the main flow direction and the heat flux normal to the wall surface are transported through a convection process. Furthermore, the transport of the heat flux along the main flow direction is a no-net convection process; the velocity gradient contributes to the transport of the heat flux only in the normal direction of the wall surface. (5) Simply because the maximum velocity gradient component on the wall surface contributes to the transport of the heat flux normal to the wall surface under uniform heat flux boundary condition, it does not contribute to this transport under uniform temperature boundary condition; thus, the heat transfer intensity under uniform heat flux boundary condition is stronger than that under uniform temperature boundary condition.
