거칠기가 한 벽면과 두 벽면에 설치된 사각채널에서 비압축성 유체유동과 열전달을 조사하기위해 3차원 수치모사를 행하였다. CFX (version 5) software package 를 사용하여 계산하였다. 거친 벽은 $45^{\circ}$경사진 거칠기가 설치되어 있다. 채널의 4 벽면은 일정한 열 유속으로 가열하였다. 수치계산 결과는 실험값과 잘 일치 하였다. 연구의 조건은 거칠기 피치와 높이의 비가 8이고, 거칠기 높이와 채널 수력직경의 비가 0.067이며, 레이놀즈수의 범위는 7,600에서 24,900이었다. 연구의 결과는 열전달계수와 마찰계수는 사각채널에서 거친 벽면의 수가 클수록 증가 함을 보였다.

In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the convective heat transfer characteristics of rectangular microchannels. The sample used in the experiments contained 20 rectangular microchannels in parallel. The channels had a hydraulic diameter of 700 ${\mu}m$. Distilled water was used as the working fluid. In the experiments, the Reynolds number ranged from 400 to 800, heat flux ranged from 35 to 85 kW/$m^2$, and the inlet fluid temperature was $20^{\circ}C$. As a result, the convective heat transfer coefficient increased upon increasing the Reynolds number and ranged from 4.6 to 6.4 kW/$m^2/^{\circ}C$ in the thermally fully developed region. Moreover, the higher the Reynolds number, the longer the thermal entry length in the rectangular microchannels. However, it was observed that a variable heat flux did not affect the thermal entry length. In conclusion, a correlation was proposed to indicate the heat transfer characteristics in a thermally fully developed region.

The adiabatic two-phase flow in single rectangular microchannels was studied for different aspect ratios. The working fluids were liquid water and nitrogen gas. The hydraulic diameters of the rectangular microchannels were 490, 322, and $143\;{\mu}m$, and the widths of the microchannels were around $500\;{\mu}m$. The two-phase flow pattern was visualized using a high-speed camera and a long-distance microscope. This study was focused on bubble flow regimes. From the visualized images, the bubble velocity, bubble length, number of bubbles, and void fraction were evaluated. Further, the pressure drop in a single bubble was evaluated by using a unit cell model. The bubble velocity is proportional to the superficial velocity. Further, the relationship between the void fraction and the volumetric quality is linear. The pressure drop in a single elongated bubble is strongly related to the aspect ratio. Finally, the new correlation about the pressure drop of a single elongated bubble in the rectangular microchannel was proposed.

The flowfield characteristics in a straight rectangular channel have been investigated through a numerical model to analyze the regenerative cooling system that is used in rocket engine cooling. The supercritical hydrogen coolant introduces strong property variations that have a major influence on the developing flow and heat transfer characteristics. Of particular interest is the improved understanding of the physical characteristics of such flows through parametric studies. The approach used is a numerical solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations in the three dimensional form including the arbitrary equation of state and property variations. The present study compares constant and variable property solutions for both laminar and turbulent flow. For laminar flow, the variation of aspect ratio is examined, while for turbulent flow, the effects of variation of channel length and Reynolds number are discussed.

The validity of friction factor theory, based upon conventional-sized passages for microchannel flows, is an active area of research. The high surface to volume ratio of a microchannel offers many advantages over macroscale devices and processes. This study focused on the laminar flow (16$161{\mu}m$ to $664{\mu}m$ for single-phase liquid flow. A controllable syringe pump was used to provide flow while a differential pressure transducer was used to record the pressure drop. These results demonstrated that a 3D printer can drastically simplify custom microchannel fabrication and still support complex features, which are typically only accessible with advanced fabrication techniques.

Numerical predictions of a fully developed turbulent flow through a square duct ($30mm{\times}30mm$) with twisted tape inserts and with twisted tape plus interrupted ribs are respectively conducted to investigate regionally averaged heat transfer and flow patterns. A rib height-to-channel hydraulic diameter(e/$D_h$) of 0.067 and a lengthto-hydraulic diameter(L/$D_h$) of 30 are considered at Reynolds number ranging 8,900 to 29,000. The interrupted ribs are axially arranged on the bottom wall. The twisted tape is 0.1 mm thick carbon steel sheet with diameter of 28 mm, length of 900 mm, and 2.5 turns. Each wall of the square channel is composed of isolated aluminum sections. Two heating conditions are investigated for test channels with twisted tape inserts and rib turbulators: (1) electric heat uniformly applied to four side walls of the square duct, and (2) electric heat uniformly applied to two opposite walls of the square channel. The results show that uneven surface heating enhances the heat transfer coefficient over uniform heating conditions, and significant improvements can be achieved with twisted tape inserts plus interrupted ribs.

미세유동에 대한 폭발적인 관심에 의해 이 분야의 연구는 다양한 측면에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 사각 미세채널에서의 슬립유동에 관한 연구 중 아직 제대로 이루어져 있지 않은 마찰특성에 관한 종횡비의 영향에 초점을 맞추어 3차원 수치해석을 행하였다. 그 결과 종횡비가 1.0 일 때 상하 벽면 및 좌우측 벽면에서의 전단음력은 동일하나, 종횡비가 감소함에 따라 전단응력은 상하 벽면과 좌우측 벽면이 상이한 강도로 증가함을 보였다. 또한 Knudsen 수의 증가에 따라서는 전단응력이 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 벽면에서의 전단응력은 종횡비를 증가시키거나 혹은 Knudsen 수를 증가시키면 감소시킬 수 있으며, 마찰계수(fRe)도 종횡비를 증가시키거나 혹은 Knudsen 수를 증가시키면 감소됨을 밝혔다.

This paper describes a detailed experimental investigation of heat transfer in a reciprocating rectangular channel fitted with rib structures with particular reference to the design of a piston for marine propulsive diesel engine. The parametric test matrix involves Reynolds number, reciprocating frequency, and reciprocating radius, respectively in the ranges, 1,000～6,000, 1.7～2.5 Hz, and 7～15 cm with four different rib arrangements. The rib arrangements have considerable influences on the heat transfer in the reciprocating channel due to the modified vortex flow structure. The experimental data confirm that the increases in the heat transfer can be seen in order of Case (b), Case (c), Case (d), and Case (a).
