Accurate analytic solutions for the fully developed slip flow and H1 heat transfer in rectangular and equilateral triangular ducts are presented. Both velocity slip and temperature jump have significant influences on the Poiseuille and Nusselt numbers. These exact solutions serve as benchmark cases for other methods, whether analytic, approximate, or numerical.

Accurate modeling of gas microvection is crucial for a lot of MEMS applications (microheat exchangers, pressure gauges, fluidic microactuators for active control of aerodynamic flows, mass flow and temperature microsensors, micropumps, and microsystems for mixing or separation for local gas analysis, mass spectrometers, vacuum, and dosing valves…). Gas flows in microsystems are often in the slip flow regime, characterized by a moderate rarefaction with a Knudsen number of the order of 10−2–10−1. In this regime, velocity slip and temperature jump at the walls play a major role in heat transfer. This paper presents a state of the art review on convective heat transfer in microchannels, focusing on rarefaction effects in the slip flow regime. Analytical and numerical models are compared for various microchannel geometries and heat transfer conditions (constant heat flux or constant wall temperature). The validity of simplifying assumptions is detailed and the role played by the kind of velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions is shown. The influence of specific effects, such as viscous dissipation, axial conduction and variable fluid properties is also discussed.

Slip-flow and heat transfer in rectangular microchannels are studied numerically for constant wall temperature (T) and constant wall heat flux (H2) boundary conditions under thermally developing flow. Navier-Stokes and energy equations with velocity slip and temperature jump at the boundary are solved using finite volume method in a three dimensional cartesian coordinate system. A modified convection-diffusion coefficient at the wall-fluid interface is defined to incorporate the temperature-jump boundary condition. Validity of the numerical simulation procedure is stabilized. The effect of rarefaction on heat transfer in the entrance region is analyzed in detail. The velocity slip has an increasing effect on the Nusselt (Nu) number whereas temperature jump has a decreasing effect, and the combined effect could result increase or decrease in the Nu number. For the range of parameters considered, there could be high as 15% increase or low as 50% decrease in fully developed Nu is plausible for T thermal boundary condition while it could be high as 20% or low as 35% for H2 thermal boundary condition.

A numerical investigation of natural convection heat transfer from a rectangular fin array of microscale dimensions, where a “down and up” flow pattern occurs, is carried out. The stream function vorticity formulation is used in the analysis and the governing equations of the transient two dimensional field are solved using an explicit finite difference scheme. The dimensions of the domain are such that the problem falls under the slip flow regime. The non continuum effects are modeled through Maxwell’s velocity slip and Smoluchowski’s temperature jump boundary conditions. The steady state velocity and temperature distributions in the field are obtained by marching through the transient state. The average heat transfer coefficient and the Nusselt Number are calculated. The influence of the fin spacing, fin height and operating pressure on the performance of the fin array is studied through parametric studies and some conclusions are drawn regarding the significance of non continuum effects in the micro scale dimensions considered.

Nanofluid slip flow and heat transfer over the microchannel with asymmetric wall heat fluxes are investigated theoretically. The local thermal nonequilibrium model in which there is a difference between the solid temperature and nanofluid temperature is modified by considering the nonlinear velocity slip and temperature jump. Exact analytical solutions and homotopy series solutions for both velocity and temperature of nanofluid and solid are first obtained. Two groups of solutions agree well with existing references and residual errors are plotted. In addition, the effects of the physical factors on the heat transfer are graphically discussed. The results show that the first velocity slip enhances Nusselt numbers while the second slip coefficient has a reverse effect on them. As expected, the nanoparticle concentration enhances heat transfer on bottom wall.

Nanofluid slip flow with distinct solid particles past a wedge with convective surface and high order slip is discussed in this paper. The wedge model is modified by considering the effects of Brownian motion and thermophphoresis together with the high order velocity slip and temperature jump. In this study, the governing fundamental equations are first transformed into third-order ordinary differential equations and solved by using the homotopy analysis method (HAM). Through error analysis and comparison with previous research, the effectiveness of HAM is ascertained, and the crucial influence of nanoparticles and high-order slip on the fluid skin-friction coefficient and heat transfer coefficient is analyed. Thermophphoresis parameter and suction/injection parameter are found to cause an increase in velocity and temperature. The rate of heat transfer in the Cu–water nanofluid is found to be higher than the others.

This article deals with an analytical solution of slip-flow heat transfer for laminar and two-dimensional gaseous flow in a semi-infinite microchannel. To account for the slip-flow characteristics of microscale heat transfer, temperature jump conditions at the wall have been considered while the fluid velocity is assumed to be constant. Analytical expressions for fully developed Nusselt numbers have been derived in terms of the Knudsen number and Peclet number for both isothermal and isoflux wall conditions.

Due to the existence of a velocity slip and temperature jump on the solid walls, the heat transfer in microchannels significantly differs from the one in the macroscale. In our research, we have focused on the pressure driven gas flows in a simple finite microchannel geometry, with an entrance and an outlet, for low Reynolds (Re<200) and low Knudsen (Kn<0.01) numbers. For such a regime, the slip induced phenomena are strongly connected with the viscous effects. As a result, heat transfer is also significantly altered. For the optimization of flow conditions, we have investigated various temperature gradient configurations, additionally changing Reynolds and Knudsen numbers. The entrance effects, slip flow, and temperature jump lead to complex relations between flow behavior and heat transfer. We have shown that slip effects are generally insignificant for flow behavior. However, two configuration setups (hot wall cold gas and cold wall hot gas) are affected by slip in distinguishably different ways. For the first one, which concerns turbomachinery, the mass flow rate can increase by about 1% in relation to the no-slip case, depending on the wall-gas temperature difference. Heat transfer is more significantly altered. The Nusselt number between slip and no-slip cases at the outlet of the microchannel is increased by about 10%.

In this study, fully developed mixed convective heat transfer of a Newtonian fluid in a vertical microannulus between two concentric microtubes is analytically investigated by taking the velocity slip and the temperature jump at the wall into account. The effects of the mixed convection parameter Gr/Re, the Knudsen number Kn, and the aspect ratio r* on the microchannel hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors are determined. Finally, a Nu=f(Gr∕Re,Kn,r*) expression is developed. It is disclosed that increasing Gr/Re enhances heat transfer while rarefaction effects considered by the velocity slip and the temperature jump in the slip flow regime decreases it.

It is highly desirable to understand the fluid flow and the heat transfer characteristics of buoyancy-induced micropump and microheat exchanger in microfluidic and thermal systems. In this study, we analytically investigate the fully developed natural convection in an open-ended vertical parallel-plate microchannel with asymmetric wall temperature distributions. Both of the velocity slip and the temperature jump conditions are considered because they have countereffects both on the volume flow rate and the heat transfer rate. Results reveal that in most of the natural convection situations, the volume flow rate at microscale is higher than that at macroscale, while the heat transfer rate is lower. It is, therefore, concluded that the temperature jump condition induced by the effects of rarefaction and fluid-wall interaction plays an important role in slip-flow natural convection.
