Analogy of convective heat transfer between developing laminar flows in curved pipes and orthogonally rotating pipes is described through similarity arguments and numerical computation. Governing parameters and a dimensionless axial distance are properly used for the respective flows. When the second parameter is large in each flow, it is shown that the temperature profiles and the Nusselt numbers of the two flows are approximately similar for the same values of the governing parameter, Prandtl number and the dimensionless axial distance.
