In this study, fully developed mixed convective heat transfer of a Newtonian fluid in an open-ended vertical parallel plate microchannel is analytically investigated by taking the velocity slip and the temperature jump at the wall into account. The effects of the mixed convection parameter, Gr/Re, the Knudsen number, Kn, and the ratio of wall temperature difference, rT, on the microchannel hydrodynamic and thermal behaviors are determined. Finally, a Nu=f(Gr∕Re,Kn,rT) expression is developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
