Liquid-liquid slug flow in ribbed micro-channel heat sinks: Hydrodynamic-thermal analysis
The hydrothermal efficiency of liquid-liquid slug flow in novel configurations for fillet-free and filleted ribbed micro-channels was numerically investigated. This study addressed the following novel configurations: semi-circular ribbed micro-channel (MCHS-CR), semi-elliptic ribbed micro-channel (MCHS-ER), semi-circular ribbed micro-channel with filleted corners (MCHS-CR-FC), and semi-elliptic ribbed micro-channel with filleted corners (MCHS-ER-FC). effects of rib shapes and filleted corners on the hydrodynamic-thermal behavior of slug flow in micro-channels were studied at different inlet velocities. Adding ribs significantly enhanced heat removal compared to a smooth micro-channel (MCHS-S) in the presence of droplet two-phase flow. Heat transfer enhancement, caused by secondary flow generation and improved fluid advection, increased with rising flow velocity. Based on the results, incorporating fillets at the rib corners led to a significant enhancement in heat transfer, with a slightly escalated pressure drop. To assess the simultaneous influences of increasing the Nusselt number and the pressure drop, a performance evaluation criterion (PEC) was used. In comparison to the MCHS-CR and MCHS-ER configurations, the MCHS-CR-FC and MCHS-ER-FC designs raised the Nusselt number by about 6.1–8.3 % and 3.5–7 %, and improved about PEC 6–6.9 % and 3–6.2 %, respectively. Furthermore, the MCHS-ER-FC configuration, due to its superior circulation strength within the droplets, droplet intervals, and rib zones, yielded the greatest reduction in wall temperature and the highest heat transfer performance among all configurations studied.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.
