Single-Phase Forced Convection Microchannels

SINGLE-PHASE FORCED CONVECTION IN MICROCHANNELS A State-of-the-Art Review... 

Following the recent developments in microfabrication, a number of major research initiatives have been launched to improve our understanding of the heat transfer and fluid flow phenomena at the micro level. A survey of the literature presented below gives a brief summary of the research carried out in single-phase forced convection in microchannels mostly in the last 15-20 years. 

Peng and Peterson [34] experimentally investigated the single-phase forced convective heat transfer and flow characteristics of water in microchannel plates with extremely... 

The scientific program starts with an introduction and the state-of-the-art review of single-phase forced convection in microchannels. The effects of Brinkman number and Knudsen numbers on heat transfer coefficient is discussed together with flow regimes in microchannel single-phase gaseous fluid flow and flow regimes based on the Knudsen number. In some applications, transient forced convection in microchannels is important.

Heat transfer to a digitized flow in a microchannel is similar in many ways to single-phase forced convection in microchannels. The thermal boundary conditions that exist are the same however, due to the unique rolling-type flow, DHT behaves in a significantly different fashion. In Fig. 3, the temperature field shows that heat is convected by the vortices and circulates within the droplet. As a droplet rolls down a heated microchannel, cool fluid from the center of the droplet is continually transported to the outer edges of the droplet while hot fluid at the wall is convected inward. Heat gradually diffuses...
