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 solutions of local temperature distribution, and local and fully developed Nusselt number are obtained in terms of dimensionless parameters: Peclet number, Knudsen number, Brinkman number, and the parameter Kappa accounting temperature-jump. The results indicate that the Nusselt number decreases with increasing Knudsen number as a result of the increase of temperature jump at the wall. For low Peclet number values, temperature gradients and the resulting temperature jump at the pipe wall cause Knudsen number to develop higher effect on flow. Axial conduction should not be neglected for Peclet number values less than 100 for all cases without viscous dissipation, and for short pipes with viscous dissipation. The effect of viscous heating should be considered even for small Brinkman number values with large length over diameter ratios. For a fixed Kappa value, the deviation from continuum increases with increasing rarefaction, and Nusselt number values decrease with an increase in Knudsen number.

Fluid flow in microtubes with axial conduction including rarefaction and viscous dissipation
Cetin, Barbaros; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; KAKAÇ, SADIK (Elsevier BV, 2008-05-01)
Graetz problem inside the microtube is revisited considering rarefaction effect, viscous dissipation term and axial conduction in the fluid for uniform wall temperature boundary condition in the slip flow regime. The flow is assumed to be hydrodynamically fully developed, thermally developing, and the velocity profile is solved analytically. The temperature field is determined by the numerical solution of the energy equation. The rarefaction effect is imposed to the problem via velocity-slip and temperature...

The purpose of this paper is to study numerically the influence of the magnetic field, buoyancy force and viscous dissipation on the convective flow and temperature of the fluid in a square cavity, lid-driven cavity, and lid-driven cavity with an obstacle at the center. The continuity, momentum and energy equations are coupled including buoyancy and magnetic forces, and energy equation contains Joule heating and viscous dissipation.

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.

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...
