Thermal conductivity fluids

Convection Heat Transfer. Convective heat transfer occurs when heat is transferred from a soHd surface to a moving fluid owing to the temperature difference between the soHd and fluid. Convective heat transfer depends on several factors, such as temperature difference between soHd and fluid, fluid velocity, fluid thermal conductivity, turbulence level of the moving fluid, surface roughness of the soHd surface, etc. Owing to the complex nature of convective heat transfer, experimental tests are often needed to determine the convective heat-transfer performance of a given system. Such experimental data are often presented in the form of dimensionless correlations.

Effectively, Eqs. (86) and (87) describe two interpenetrating continua which are thermally coupled. The value of the heat transfer coefficient a depends on the specific shape of the channels considered suitable correlations have been determined for circular or for rectangular channels [100]. In general, the temperature fields obtained from Eqs. (86) and (87) for the solid and the fluid phases are different, in contrast to the assumptions made in most other models for heat transfer in porous media [117]. Kim et al. [118] have used a model similar to that described here to compute the temperature distribution in a micro channel heat sink. They considered various values of the channel width (expressed in dimensionless form as the Darcy number) and various ratios of the solid and fluid thermal conductivity and determined the regimes where major deviations of the fluid temperature from the solid temperature are found.

In view of the foregoing discussion, one may anticipate that convection heat transfer will have a dependence on the viscosity of the fluid in addition to its dependence on the thermal properties of the fluid (thermal conductivity, specific heat, density). This is expected because viscosity influences the velocity profile and, correspondingly, the energy-transfer rate in the region near the wall.
