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.

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.

Turbulent Gas Flow

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 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.

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 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.

Fluid flow and heat transfer in the entrance region of rectangular microchannels of various aspect ratios are numerically investigated in the slip-flow regime with particular attention to thermal creep effects. Uniform inlet velocity and temperature profiles are prescribed in microchannels with constant wall temperature. An adiabatic section is also employed at the inlet of the channel in order to prevent unrealistically large axial temperature gradients due to the prescribed uniform inlet temperature as well as upstream diffusion associated with low Reynolds number flows. A control-volume technique is used to solve the Navier–Stokes and energy equations which are accompanied with appropriate velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions at the walls. Despite the constant wall temperature, axial and peripheral temperature gradients form in the gas layer adjacent to the wall due to temperature jump. The simultaneous effects of velocity slip, temperature jump and thermal creep on the flow and thermal patterns along with the key flow parameters are examined in detail for a wide range of cross-sectional aspect ratios, and Knudsen and Reynolds numbers. Present results indicate that thermal creep effects influence the flow field and the temperature distribution significantly in the early section of the channel.

Leak Before Break

The estimation of the gaseous leak flow rates through a narrow crack is important for a leak-before-break analysis as a method of nondestructive testing. Therefore, the methodology to estimate the gaseous leak flow rates in a narrow crack for a wide range of flow conditions, from no-slip to slip flow and from unchoked to choked flow, by using f⋅Re (the product of friction factor and Reynolds number) correlations obtained for a microchannel, was developed and presented. The correlations applied here were proposed by the previous study (Hong, et al., 2007, “Friction Factor Correlations for Gas Flow in Slip Flow Regime,” ASME J. Fluids Eng., 129, pp. 1268–1276). The detail of the calculation procedure was appropriately documented. The fourth-order Runge–Kutta method was employed to integrate the nonlinear ordinary differential equation for the pressure, and the regular-Falsi method was employed to find the inlet Mach number. An idealized crack, whose opening displacement ranges from 2 μm to 50 μm, with the crack aspect ratio of 200, 1000, and 2000, was chosen for sample estimation. The present results were compared with both numerical simulations and available experimental measurements. The results were in excellent agreement. Therefore, the gaseous leak flow rates can be correctly predicted by using the proposed methodology.

The effects of thermal creep on the development of gaseous fluid flow and heat transfer in rectangular microchannels with constant wall temperature are investigated in the slip-flow regime. Thermal creep arises from tangential temperature gradients, which may be significant in the entrance region of channels, and affects the velocity and temperature fields particularly in low Reynolds number flows. In the present work, the Navier–Stokes and energy equations coupled with velocity-slip and temperature-jump conditions applied at the channel walls are solved numerically using a control-volume technique. Despite the constant wall temperature, tangential temperature gradients form in the gas layer adjacent to the wall due to the temperature-jump condition. The effects of slip/jump and thermal creep on the flow patterns and parameters are studied in detail for a wide range of channel aspect ratios and, Knudsen and Reynolds numbers. Furthermore, the effects of variable properties on velocity-slip and, friction and heat transfer coefficients are also examined.
