Rarefaction, Compressibility, and Viscous Heating in Gas Microfilters

چکیده
Gas ows throughmicro lters are simulated in the continuumand slip ow regimes as a functionof theKnudsen, Reynolds, and Mach numbers. The numerical simulations are based on the spectral element formulation of compressible Navier–Stokes equations, which utilize previously developed high-order velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions. Both slip and no-slip simulations are used to identify the rarefaction effects. The simulation results show skin friction and form-drag reduction with increased Knudsen number. Pressure drops across the lters are compared against several empirical scaling laws, available in the literature. Compressibility becomes important for high-speed ows, creating large density uctuations across themicro lter elements. For high-Machnumber ows interactions between thermal and kinetic energies of the uid are observed. It is also shown that viscous heating plays a signi cant role for high-speed gas ows, which impact heat-transfer characteristics of micro lters.

Approximate Viscous Shock-Layer Analysis of Axisymmetric Bodies in Perfect Gas Hypersonic Flow
In this paper, an approximate axisymmetric method is developed which can reliably calculate fully viscous hypersonic flow over blunt-nosed bodies. In this method, a Maslen’s second-order pressure expression is used instead of the normal momentum equation. The combination of Maslen’s second-order pressure expression and viscous shock layer equations is developed to accurately and efficiently com...

Micro-convection is a strategic area in transport phenomena, since it is the basis for a wide range of miniaturised high-performance applications. Microchannel heat-sinks are appealing solutions to the increasing heat dissipation demands, especially in electronic devices. Literature reveals that in the single-phase continuum regime, the behaviour of micro-convection significantly differs from t...
