A simple diffusion-convection heat transfer model is formulated which leads to an axially symmetric partial differential equation. The equation is shown to be closely related to a second one which is adjoint to the original equation in one variable can and be interpreted as a description of another diffusion-convection model. Fundamental solutions of the original equation are constructed and interpreted with reference to both models. Some boundary value problems are solved in series form and integral representations of the solutions are also given. The boundary value problems are shown to be equivalent to an integral equation and the correspondence between the two formulations is understood in terms of the two diffusion-convection problems. A Péclet number is defined in one of the boundary value problems and the behaviour of the solutions is studied for large and small values of this parameter.
