  Scaling Effects for Liquid Flows in Microchannels
 
 
Titel: Scaling Effects for Liquid Flows in Microchannels
Auteur: Morini, Gian Luca
Verschenen in: Heat transfer engineering
Paginering: Jaargang 27 (2006) nr. 4 pagina's 64-73

Inhoud: Many experimental works on the forced convection through microchannels seem to show that when the hydraulic diameter is less than 1 mm, the conventional theory can no longer be considered suitable to predict the pressure drop and convective heat transfer coefficients. This conclusion seemed valid for both gas and liquid flows. Sometimes the authors justified this claim by invoking “new” micro-effects. In the last few years, this conclusion seems to be controverted by additional, more accurate experimental data. For this reason, the explanation of the experimental results obtained for microchannels in terms of friction factors and convective heat transfer in the laminar regime is sought for within the bonds of the conventional theory. In particular, this study focuses on the role of viscous heating in liquids flowing through microchannels, considering them as scaling effects. The role of the cross-sectional geometry on the viscous heating is highlighted for adiabatic and diabatic channels. Design correlations that are useful in defining the limit of significance of the most important scaling effects for microchannels, such as viscous heating and conjugate heat transfer, are also presented.
