The flow of fluid with low prandtl number in the entrance region of a circular pipe has been considered, where the wall temperature is maintained to be constant. A finite difference method is used for the integral form of the governing equations in order that they satisfy the conservative properties of the numerical solutions. It is confirmed that the hydrodynamic entrance length and be divided into growing boundary layer region and fully viscous region, which is compared with existing results obtained by using boundary layer approximations. By assuning the developing velocity profile in the entrance region, the thermal entrance length is estimated and the local Nusselt number is obtained at various locations along the axial dirction.
