Numerical simulation of roughness effects on flow and heat transfer in microchannels at slip flow regime

A numerical simulation for studying fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in microchannels at slip flow regime with consideration of slip and temperature jump is studied. The wall roughness is simulated in two cases with periodically distributed triangular microelements and random shaped micro peaks distributed on the wall surfaces. Various Knudsen numbers have used to investigate the effects of rarefaction. The numerical results have also checked with available theoretical and experimental relations and good agreements has achieved. It has been found that rarefaction has more significant effect on flow field in microchannels with higher relative roughness. The negative influence of roughness on fluid flow and heat transfer found to be the friction factor increment and Nusselt number reduction. In addition high influence of roughness distribution and shape has been shown by a comparison of Poiseuille and Nusselt numbers for tow different cases.     

Slip flow and heat transfer in microbearings with fractal surface topographies

The effects of random surface roughness on slip flow and heat transfer in microbearings are investigated. A three-dimensional random surface roughness model characterized by fractal geometry is used to describe the multiscale self-affine roughness, which is represented by the modified two-variable Weierstrass–Mandelbrot (W–M) functions, at micro-scale. Based on this fractal characterization, the roles of rarefaction and roughness on the thermal and flow properties in microbearings are predicted and evaluated using numerical analyses and simulations. The results show that the boundary conditions of velocity slip and temperature jump depend not only on the Knudsen number but also on the surface roughness. It is found that the effects of the gas rarefaction and surface roughness on flow behavior and heat transfer in the microbearing are strongly coupled. The negative influence of roughness on heat transfer found to be the Nusselt number reduction. In addition, the effects of temperature difference and relative roughness on the heat transfer in the bearing are also analyzed and discussed.     

Direct simulation of roughness effects on rarefied and compressible flow at slip flow regime

A two dimensional numerical simulation is performed for incompressible and compressible fluid flows through microchannels in slip flow regime with consideration of slip and temperature jump boundary conditions. The wall roughness is simulated in two cases with triangular microelements and random shaped micro peaks distributed on wall surfaces to study the effects of roughness shape and distribution on the flow field. Various Mach and Knudsen numbers have been used to investigate the effects of rarefaction as well as compressibility. It is found that rarefaction has a more significant effect on the flow field in microchannels with higher relative roughness. It is also found that the effect of compressibility will be more noticeable when relative roughness increases. In addition a high influence of roughness distribution and shape can be seen for both compressible and incompressible flows. The numerical results have also been checked with available theoretical and experimental relations and a good agreement has been achieved.     

Effects of multislip and distinct heat source on MHD Carreau nanofluid flow past an elongating cylinder using the statistical method

This study focuses on studying the impact of multiple slip effects on the hydromagnetic Carreau nanofluid flow over an elongating cylinder considering a linear heat source and exponential space-based heat source. Suitable transformations are used in converting the highly nonlinear system of partial differential equations governing the flow into a system of ordinary differential equations and hence resolved using the Runge–Kutta method of order four coupled with the shooting method. BVP5C and RKF45 are used to compare the numerical accuracy and an excellent agreement is noted. The parallel effect of parameters on Nusselt number is studied using surface plots and the corresponding effects are scrutinized using multiple linear regression. It is observed that the linear heat source parameter, thermal slip parameter and exponential space-based heat source parameter demote the heat transfer rate. The consequence of different parameters on drag coefficient and mass transfer are quantified using a linear regression slope.     

Heat Transfer Analysis of a Microspherical Particle in the Slip Flow Regime by Considering Variable Properties

In order to investigate how far the temperature-dependent fluid properties and characteristic length influence the drag coefficient and the heat flux, a three-dimensional simulation study for a slip flow around an unconfined microspherical particle has been performed. Gas properties such as density, viscosity, conductivity, and mean free path were assumed to vary with temperature. Slip velocity and temperature jump at the gas particle interface were both treated numerically by imposition of the slip boundary conditions. The effects of variable gas properties and Knudsen number on momentum and heat transfer were also taken into account. It was concluded that for microflows with high heat transfer rates, the constant fluid properties approximation is very crude. In addition, the slip velocity and temperature jump affect the heat transfer in opposite ways: a large slip on the wall increases the convection along the surface, whereas a large temperature jump decreases the heat transfer by reducing the temperature gradient at the wall. Therefore, neglecting temperature jump will result in the overestimation of the heat transfer coefficient.     

Poiseuille flow of moderately rarefied gases in annular channels

In this study, rarefaction effects in pressure-driven gas flows in annular micro-channels are investigated. The influence of gas rarefaction, aspect ratio of the annulus, and surface accommodation coefficient on wall friction, mass flow rate, and thermal energy flow rate is studied. For this, the linearized Navier–Stokes–Fourier (NSF) and regularized 13-moment (R13) equations are solved analytically. The results are compared to available solutions of the Boltzmann equation to highlight the advantages of the R13 over the NSF equations in describing rarefaction effects in the process. Moreover, a second-order slip boundary condition is proposed to improve the accuracy of the classical NSF equations.     

Etude experimentale de l'ecoulement turbulent d'une suspension trajectoires et vitesses des particules transferts thermiques entre les deux phases

An experimental study of suspensions of 120 μ and 480 μ mean-diameter glass particles in turbulent air flow is presented. Particle trajectories were recorded photographically and local velocities were deduced. Trajectories were linear and velocity distributions were uniform. Heat transfer between solid and gas was studied, cold particles being introduced into a warm air flow. Heat transfer coefficients were calculated from mean air temperature measurements at different points along the tube. Theoretical analysis shows that the problem may be solved by means of a simplified one-dimensional model. This model is based on a drag coefficient, and a heat transfer coefficient between air and particles. Using heat transfer and drag coefficients for a single sphere in steady flow to calculate lengthwise variation of mean velocity and air temperature, good agreement is found with the experimental results.     

A study on heat transfer in a conical fluidized-bed reactor with an immersed cylindrical heater

In this paper, numerical and experimental analyses of the heat transfer between an immersed heater and a cone bed of sand particles were carried out. A three-dimensional (3D) model using the Eulerian–Eulerian model coupled with the kinetic theory for granular flow was used to simulate heat transfer and the related bed flow characteristics. The effects of different inlet gas velocities, represented by the fluidizing number (the ratio between inlet gas velocity to minimum fluidizing velocity), and different particle-wall boundary conditions on heat transfer and hydrodynamics were investigated. Both the experiments and numerical simulation results showed that the heat transfer coefficient and the bed expansion ratio increased with increasing the inlet gas velocity. For the particle-wall boundary condition, applying the no-slip condition showed the best agreement in the heat transfer coefficient and the bed expansion ratio to the experimental results.     

Choked flow and heat transfer of low density gas in a narrow parallel-plate channel with uniformly heating walls

The discharge and heat transfer characteristics of the continuum and slip choked gas flows through a narrow parallel-plate channel with uniform heat flux walls are studied by experimental means, numerical simulation, and analytical approximate solution. The numerical results of the discharge coefficient and the wall surface temperature distributions agree relatively well with the experimental results. The effects of the heat transfer at the walls on the discharge coefficient can be correlated with the dimensionless heat input at the walls. Three kinds of Nusselt numbers which are defined by adiabatic wall, bulk mean, and total temperatures as a reference temperature, respectively, are proposed and the effects of the viscous heating on these Nusselt numbers are clarified.
