In this paper, convective heat transfer analysis in a multi-passage circular tube subjected to an external heat flux is extended to include the effect of the internal separating wall thickness and heat generation. The analytical expressions for Nusselt numbers corresponding to the outer and inner walls are obtained with inner and outer region fluids having independent arbitrary heat generation densities. The curves representing the outer and inner Nusselt numbers, including the effect of internal wall thickness considering Molten Salt Breeder Reactor (MSBR) operation, are plotted against the dimensionless radius of separation surface.
