  The generalized Graetz problem refers to stationary convection-diffusion in
uni-directional flows. In this contribution we demonstrate the ana-lyticity of
generalized Graetz solutions associated with layered domains: either
cylindrical (possibly concentric) or parallel. Such configurations are
considered as prototypes for heat exchanger devices and appear in numerous
applications involving heat or mass transfer. The established framework of
Graetz modes allows to recast the 3D resolution of the heat transfer into a 2D
or even 1D spectral problem. The associated eigefunctions (called Graetz modes)
are obtained with the help of a sequence of closure functions that are
recursively computed. The spectrum is given by the zeros of an explicit
analytical serie, the truncation of which allows to approximate the eigenvalues
by solving a polynomial equation. Graetz mode computation is henceforth made
explicit and can be performed using standard softwares of formal calculus. It
permits a direct and mesh-less computation of the resulting solutions for a
broad range of configurations. Some solutions are illustrated to showcase the
interest of mesh-less analytical derivation of the Graetz solutions, useful to
validate other numerical approaches.
