Heat Transfer in Single-Phase Flows

  • Chapter
Fluid Flow, Heat Transfer and Boiling in Micro-Channels

Part of the book series: Heat and Mass Transfer ((HMT))

  • 2585 Accesses

Abstract

The subject of this chapter is single-phase heat transfer in micro-channels. Several aspects of the problem are considered in the frame of a continuum model, corresponding to small Knudsen number. A number of special problems of the theory of heat transfer in micro-channels, such as the effect of viscous energy dissipation, axial heat conduction, heat transfer characteristics of gaseous flows in microchannels, and electro-osmotic heat transfer in micro-channels, are also discussed in this chapter.
