Abstract: The hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors of fluid
flow in wavy microchannel are investigated numerically. Effects of
Reynolds number on the hydrodynamics and thermal behaviors are
investigated. Three cases of Reynolds number (580, 1244, and 1910)
are adopted in this study. It is found that the separation zone begin
appears when Reynolds number is greater than 1910 at the endsection
of the wave. Also it is found that dimensionless maximum
velocity at the mid-section of the wave decreases and becomes as a
turbulent behavior as Reynolds numbers increases. The maximum
temperature at the center line at the mid-section of the wave increases
as Reynolds number increases until it reaches the turbulent behavior
when Reynolds number is equal or greater than 1244, while this
behavior will be achieved at very high velocities at the end section of
the wave.
Abstract: The hydrodynamics behavior of fluid flow in microconverging
plates is investigated analytically. Effects of Knudsen number () on the microchannel hydrodynamics behavior and the
coefficient of friction are investigated. It is found that as increases the slip in the hydrodynamic boundary condition increases.
Also, the coefficient of friction decreases as increases.
Abstract: The transient hydrodynamics and thermal behaviors of
fluid flow in open-ended vertical parallel-plate porous microchannel are investigated semi-analytically under the effect of the hyperbolic
heat conduction model. The model that combines both the continuum approach and the possibility of slip at the boundary is adopted in the
study. The Effects of Knudsen number , Darcy number , and thermal relaxation time on the microchannel hydrodynamics and thermal behaviors are investigated using the hyperbolic heat
conduction models. It is found that as increases the slip in the hydrodynamic and thermal boundary condition increases. This slip in
the hydrodynamic boundary condition increases as increases. Also, the slip in the thermal boundary condition increases as
decreases especially the early stage of time.
