This paper describes experimental results on total temperature measurement to obtain heat transfer characteristics of turbulent gas flow in a microtube with constant wall temperature. The experiments were performed for nitrogen gas flow through a microtube of 354 μm in diameter with 100 mm in length. The wall temperature was maintained at 310 K, 330 K, and 350 K by circulating water around the microtube, respectively. The stagnation pressure was chosen in such a way that the exit Mach number ranges from 0.1 to 1.0. In order to obtain heat transfer rate of turbulent gas flow through a micro-tube, the total temperatures of gas flowing out of a microtube exit were measured with the set of total temperature measurement attached to micro stage with position fine adjustment. The numerical computations based on the Arbitrary - Langrangian - Eulerian (ALE) method were also performed for the turbulent gas flow with the same conditions of the experiments. The results were in excellent agreement.

This paper presents experimental results on heat transfer characteristics of gaseous flow in a micro-tube with constant wall temperature. The experiment was performed for nitrogen gas flow through a micro-tube with 166 micro meters in diameter and 50mm in length. The wall temperature was maintained at 305K, 310K, 330K and 350K by circulating water around the micro-tube, respectively. The stagnation pressure is chosen in such a way that the exit Mach number ranges from 0.1 to 1.0. The outlet pressure was fixed at the atmospheric condition. The total temperature at the outlet, the inlet stagnation temperature, the mass flow rate, and the inlet pressure were measured. The numerical computations based on the Aribitary - Langrangian - Eulerian (ALE) method were also performed for the same cases of the experiment for validation of numerical computation. The both results are in excellent agreement. The total temperatures obtained by the present study are slightly higher than those of the incompressible flow. This is due to the additional heat transfer near the micro-tube outlet caused by the temperature decrease due to the energy conversion into the kinetic energy. A quantitative correlation for the prediction of the heat transfer rate of the gaseous flow in a micro-tube was proposed.

Abstract Experiments were conducted with nitrogen gas flow in two microtubes with constant wall temperature, made of stainless-steel and copper with diameters of 524 and 537 micrometers, to measure the total temperature at the inlet and outlet and quantitively determine the heat transfer rates. The temperature differences between the inlet and the wall were maintained at 3, 5 and 10 K by circulating water around the inlet and the wall. The stagnation pressures were controlled such that the flow with atmospheric back pressure reached Reynolds numbers as high as 26000. To measure the total temperature, a polystyrene tube with thermally insulated exterior wall containing six plastic baffles, was attached to the outlet. Heat transfer rates were obtained from the gas enthalpy difference by using the pressures and the total temperatures measured at the inlet and outlet. Heat transfer rates were also compared with those obtained from the ideal gas enthalpy using the measured total temperatures and from the Nusselt number for incompressible flow. It was found that the measured total temperature at the microtube outlet was higher than the wall temperature. Also, the heat transfer rates calculated from the total temperature difference were higher than the values obtained from the incompressible flow theory.

This paper presents experimental results on heat transfer characteristics of turbulent gas flows though a micro-tube with constant wall temperature. The experiments were performed for nitrogen gas flows through a micro-tube with 242μm in diameter and 50 mm in length. The wall temperature was maintained at 5K, 20K and 30K higher than the inlet temperature by circulating water around the micro-tube, respectively. In order to measure heat transfer rate of gas flow through a micro-tube, the total temperature at a micro-tube exit was measured. The stagnation pressure was chosen in such a way that the Reynolds number ranges from 3000 to 12000. The outlet pressure was fixed at the atmospheric condition. The total temperature at the outlet, the inlet stagnation temperature, the mass flow rate, and the inlet pressure were measured. The heat transfer rates obtained by the present study are higher than those of the incompressible flow. This is due to the additional heat transfer near the micro-tube outlet caused by the energy conversion into kinetic energy. A correlation for the prediction of the heat transfer rate of the turbulent gas flow through a micro-tube was proposed.

This paper presents experimental results on heat transfer characteristics of gaseous flow in a micro-tube with constant wall temperature whose wall temperature is lower than the inlet temperature (cooled case). The experiment was performed for nitrogen gas flow through a micro-tube with 163.4 micro meters in diameter and 50 mm in length. The gas was heated at the inlet of the micro-tube to Tin = 315K, 335K and 355K. The wall temperature was maintained at 305K which was lower than the inlet temperature by circulating water around the micro-tube. The stagnation pressure was chosen in such a way that the exit Mach number ranges from 0.1 to 0.9. The outlet pressure was fixed at the atmospheric condition. The total temperature at the outlet, the inlet stagnation temperature, the mass flow rate, and the inlet pressure were measured. The numerical computations based on the aribitary-Langrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method were also performed for the same conditions of the experiment. The total and bulk temperature obtained by the present study are compared with those of the numerical cases and also compared with temperatures of the incompressible flow. The results have similar trends.

Numerical computations were performed to obtain for heat transfer characteristics of turbulent gas flow in micro-tubes with constant wall temperature whose temperature is lower than the inlet temperature (cooled case). The numerical methodology was based on Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerinan (ALE) method to solve compressible momentum and energy equations. The Lam-Bremhorst Low-Reynolds number turbulence model was employed to evaluate eddy viscosity coefficient and turbulence energy. The tube diameter ranges from 100 μm to 400 μm and the aspect ratio of the tube diameter and the length is fixed at 200. The stagnation temperature was fixed at 300 K and the computations were done for wall temperature, which ranged from 250 K to 295 K. The stagnation pressure was chosen in such a way that the flow is in turbulent flow regime. The results in wide range of Reynolds number and Mach number were obtained. The bulk temperature based on the static temperature and the total temperature of the cooled case are compared with those of heated case and also with temperatures of the incompressible flow. The result shows that different heat transfer characteristics are obtained for each cooled and heated case. A correlation for the prediction of the heat transfer rate of the turbulent gas flow in a micro-tube is proposed.

This paper describes experimental results on heat transfer characteristics of gaseous flow in a microtube with constant wall temperature. The experiments were performed for nitrogen gas flow through three microtubes of 123 μm, 163 μm, and 243 μm in diameter with 50mm in length, respectively. The wall temperature was maintained at 310 K, 330 K, and 350 K by circulating water around the microtube, respectively. The stagnation pressure is chosen in such a way that the exit Mach number ranges from 0.1 to 1.0. The outlet pressure was fixed at the atmospheric condition. The total temperature at the outlet, the inlet stagnation temperature, the mass flow rate, and the inlet pressure were measured. The numerical computations based on the Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method were also performed with the same conditions of the experiment for validation of numerical results. Both the results are in excellent agreement. In some cases, the total temperatures obtained by the present experimental study are higher than the wall temperature. This is due to the additional heat transfer from the wall to the gas near the microtube outlet caused by the temperature fall due to the energy conversion into the kinetic energy. A quantitative correlation for the prediction of the heat transfer rate of the gaseous flow in microtubes which had been proposed in our previous study (Hong and Asako, 2007, “Heat Transfer Characteristics of Gaseous Flows in a Microchannel and a Microtube with Constant Wall Temperature,” Numer. Heat Transfer, Part A, 52, pp. 219–238) was validated.

This paper describes experimental results on total temperature measurement of nitrogen micro-jet from micro-tubes outlet measured for the wide range from unchoked to choked flow. The experiments were preformed for a stainless micro-tube of 523.2 μm in diameter whose temperature difference between the wall and inlet was maintained at 2, 5 and 10 K by circulating water around the micro-tube, respectively. The gas flows out to the atmospheric condition. A thermally insulated tube of foamed polystyrene with six baffles fabricated by the companion paper (IMECE-36965) where the gas velocity reduces and the kinetic energy is converted into the thermal energy, was attached to the outlet of the micro-tube. The inner diameter of the polystyrene tube is 22 mm. The baffles are equally spaced and the intervals of the baffles tested are 5 and 10 mm to investigate the effect of the interval of the baffle on the reduction of the gas velocity. The gas temperature measured by thermocouples at locations of baffles is considered as total temperature. The measured total temperature is higher than the wall temperature and increases with increasing the stagnation pressure (Reynolds number) for unchoked flow since the additional heat transfer from the wall to the gas near the micro-tube outlet caused by the temperature fall due to the energy conversion into the kinetic energy. It decreases in the insulated tube for chocked flow since Joule-Thomson effect is dominant in the insulated tube. The measured total temperatures are compared with results obtained by numerical computations.

Turbulent Gas Flow

Numerical simulations were performed to obtain for heat transfer characteristics of turbulent gas flow in micro-tubes with constant wall temperature. The numerical methodology was based on Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerinan (ALE) method to solve compressible momentum and energy equations. The Lam-Bremhorst Low-Reynolds number turbulence model was employed to evaluate eddy viscosity coefficient and turbulence energy. The tube diameter ranges from 100 μm to 400 μm and the aspect ratio of the tube diameter and the length is fixed at 200. The stagnation temperature is fixed at 300 K and the computations were done for wall temperature, which ranges from 305 K to 350 K. The stagnation pressure was chosen in such a way that the flow is in turbulent flow regime. The obtained Reynolds number ranges widely up to 10081 and the Mach number at the outlet ranges from 0.1 to 0.9. The heat transfer rates obtained by the present study are higher than those of the incompressible flow. This is due to the additional heat transfer near the micro-tube outlet caused by the energy conversion into kinetic energy.
