The heat transfer problem of a zero-mean oscillatory flow of both a Newtonian and a Maxwell fluid between infinite parallel plates with boundary conditions of the third kind is considered. With the analytic solutions for the velocity and temperature fields at hand, the local and global time-averaged entropy production are computed. The consequences of convective cooling of the plates are assessed for this problem. © IWNET 2006
