If your case is not fully developed it is not surprising that you would get a higher Nu than the theoretical result for fully-developed conditions. The temperature profile is flatter in the developing region, and the difference between the bulk temperature and the wall temperature is smaller than in the fully developed region. For a given fixed wall heat flux, this means h will be higher in the developing region. So it is important to use periodic conditions for temperature, not just velocity.
