A NUMERICAL STUDY OF SINGLE-PHASE FORCED CONVECTIVE HEAT TRANSFER WITH FLOW FRICTION IN MICROCHANNELS (RESEARCH NOTE)

Numerical Study of Single Phase/Two-Phase Models for Nanofluid Forced Convection and Pressure Drop in a Turbulence Pipe Flow

In this paper, the problem of turbulent forced convection flow of water- alumina nanofluid in a uniformly heated pipe has been thoroughly investigated. In numerical study, single and two-phase models have been used. In single-phase modeling of nanofluid, thermal and flow properties of nanofluid have been considered to be dependent on temperature and volume fraction. Effects of volume fraction a...

Numerical Prediction of Slip Flow and Heat Transfer in Microchannels

Rarefied gas slip microflow and heat transfer in rectangular microchannels and backward facing steps are numerically investigated. A control-volume based numerical method is used to solve the Navier–Stokes and energy equations with velocity-slip and temperature-jump conditions at the walls. The effects of Knudsen number (Kn ! 0.1), thermal creep, and viscous heating on the velocity and temperat...

Experimental study of convective heat transfer coefficient of MgO nanofluid in a cylindrical microchannel heat sink

Convective heat transfer of MgO-water nanofluid in a microchannel heat sink is experimentally investigated in various concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.6 wt%. The microchannel consisted of 48 parallel rectangular cross section channels with the height of 800 µm, width of 524 µm and length of 52 mm. A well stability duration (ca. 1 month) was resulted by a 180 min ultra-sonication of the ...

Numerical Study of Flow and Heat Transfer in a Square Driven Cavity

A numerical approach called “SIMPLER” is used to investigate the  flow and heat transfer characteristics in a square driven cavity. The two-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations were solved and the results are depicted as contour plots of stream function, vorticity, and total pressure for Reynolds numbers from 1 to 10000. At the higher values of Reynolds number, an inviscid core re...
