Abstract
ABSTRACT Four kinds of microchannels with round grooves and ribs were designed: round grooves (round), round grooves and single–sided ribs (round–single), round grooves and odd-symmetric ribs (round–odd), and round grooves and doubly symmetric ribs (round–double). The effects of rib arrangement on the heat transfer performance of microchannels with round grooves and ribs were numerically investigated and then compared with the microchannel with no grooves or ribs. The heat transfer characteristics were analyzed and compared in accordance with the field synergy principle and entropy production. Results indicate that the heat transfer field of round and round–double microchannels exhibited the smallest synergy angle (α) and the best field synergy. The round–double microchannel produced the lowest entropy caused by heat transfer and had a minimal irreversible loss; thus, it exhibited the best heat transfer performance.
期刊介绍:
Experimental Heat Transfer provides a forum for experimentally based high quality research articles and communications in the general area of heat-mass transfer and the related energy fields.
In addition to the established multifaceted areas of heat transfer and the associated thermal energy conversion, transport, and storage, the journal also communicates contributions from new and emerging areas of research such as micro- and nanoscale science and technology, life sciences and biomedical engineering, manufacturing processes, materials science, and engineering. Heat transfer plays an important role in all of these areas, particularly in the form of innovative experiments and systems for direct measurements and analysis, as well as to verify or complement theoretical models.
