CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER IN MICROSCALE SLIP FLOW

2009-09-04
In this lecture, steady-state convective heat transfer in different microchannels (microtube and parallel plates) will be presented in the slip flow regime. Laminar, thermally and/or hydrodynamically developing flows will be considered. In the analyses, in addition to rarefaction, axial conduction, and viscous dissipation effects, which are generally neglected in macroscale problems, surface roughness effects, and temperature-variable thermophysical properties of the fluid will also be taken into consideration. Navier-Stokes and energy equations will be solved and the variation of Nusselt number, the dimensionless parameter for convection heat transfer, along the channels will be presented in tabular and graphical forms as a function of Knudsen, Peclet, and Brinkman numbers, which represent the effects of rarefaction, axial conduction, and viscous dissipation, respectively. The results will be compared and verified with available experimentalanalytical, and numerical solutions in literature.

ROUGHNESS EFFECT ON THE HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT FOR GASEOUS FLOW IN MICROCHANNELS
Turgay, Metin B.; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Kakac, Sadik (2010-08-13)
Effects of surface roughness, axial conduction, viscous dissipation, and rarefaction on heat transfer in a two dimensional parallel plate microchannel with constant wall temperature are investigated numerically. Roughness is simulated by adding equilateral triangular obstructions with various heights on one of the plates. Air, with constant thermophysical properties, is chosen as the working fluid, and laminar, single-phase, developing flow in the slip flow regime at steady state is analyzed. Governing equa...

The present finite volume method based fluid flow solutions investigate the boundary-layer flow and heat transfer characteristics of polymer melt flow in a rectangular plane channel in the presence of the effect of viscous dissipation and heat transfer by considering the viscosity and density variations in the flow. For different inflow velocity boundary conditions and the injection polymer melt temperatures, the viscous dissipation effects on the velocity and temperature distributions are studied extensive...
The effect of axial conduction on heat transfer in a liquid microchannel flow
Cole, Kevin D.; Cetin, Barbaros (2011-05-01)
Analysis is presented for conjugate heat transfer in a parallel-plate microchannel. Axial conduction in the fluid and in the adjacent wall are included. The fluid is a constant property liquid with a fully-developed velocity distribution. The microchannel is heated by a uniform heat flux applied to the outside of the channel wall. The analytic solution is given in the form of integrals by the method of Green's functions. Quadrature is used to obtain numerical results for the local and average Nusselt number...

Barışık, Murat; Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla Güvenç; Çetin, Barbaros; Kakaç, Sadık (Elsevier BV, 2015-10)
The solution of extended Graetz problem for micro-scale gas flows is performed by coupling of rarefaction, axial conduction and viscous dissipation at slip flow regime. The analytical coupling achieved by using Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization technique provides interrelated appearance of corresponding effects through the variation of non-dimensional numbers. The developing temperature field is determined by solving the energy equation locally together with the fully developed flow profile. Analytical solutio...
EFFECT OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS IN PARALLEL-PLATE MICROCHANNELS ON HEAT TRANSFER
Turgay, M. B.; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01)
In this study, the effect of surface roughness on convective heat transfer in two-dimensional parallel plate microchannels is analyzed numerically for steady-state, single-phase, developing, and laminar air flow in the slip flow regime. Slip velocity and temperature jump at wall boundaries are imposed to observe the rarefaction effect. The effect of triangular roughness elements on Nusselt number are compared to cases with smooth surfaces. The results indicate that increasing surface roughness reduces heat ...
