The effect of viscous dissipation and rarefaction on heat transfer characteristics of hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed flow between parallel plates with constant heat flux conditions is analyzed. Three different types of heat flux boundary conditions, i.e., both plates kept at different constant heat fluxes, both plates kept at equal constant heat fluxes, and one plate insulated, are applied. In all cases, closed form expressions are obtained for the temperature distribution and Nusselt number. Viscous dissipation, rarefaction, and heat flux ratio are found to influence the heat transfer substantially. The present predictions are verified for the cases which neglect the microscale and viscous heating effect. The obtained results are in good agreement with other analytical results.

“…This reconstruction algorithm has been numerically tested on DSMC generated data. Results help estimating an coefficients which depend on the nature of the gas and the wall (Sharipov 2011) and are a priori unknown; these models lead to more or less complex solutions for heat transfer (Colin 2012) and fluid flow (Zhang et al 2012) in the slipflow regime.…”

The molecular tagging velocimetry (MTV) is a well-suited technique for velocity field measurement in gas flows. Typically, a line is tagged by a laser beam within the gas flow seeded with light emitting acetone molecules. Positions of the luminescent molecules are then observed at successive times and the velocity field is deduced from the analysis of the tagged line displacement and deformation. However, the displacement evolution is expected to be affected by molecular diffusion, when the gas is rarefied. Therefore, there is no direct and simple relationship between the velocity field and the measured displacement of the initial tagged line. This paper addresses the study of tracer molecules diffusion through a background gas flowing in a channel delimited by planar walls. Tracer and background species are supposed to be governed by a system of coupled Boltzmann equations, numerically solved by the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. Simulations confirm that the diffusion of tracer species becomes significant as the degree of rarefaction of the gas flow increases. It is shown that a simple advection–diffusion equation provides an accurate description of tracer molecules behavior, in spite of the non-equilibrium state of the background gas. A simple reconstruction algorithm based on the advection–diffusion equation has been developed to obtain the velocity profile from the displacement field. This reconstruction algorithm has been numerically tested on DSMC generated data. Results help estimating an upper bound on the flow rarefaction degree, above which MTV measurements might become problematic

“…Although they explicitly incorporated the temperature jump in the boundary conditions, it was ignored in the calculation of the eigenvalues (Ezquerra Larrodé, Housiadas & Drossinos 2000). It is crucial to account for the temperature jump at the wall for rarefied gas flows, since the effect of this temperature jump is dominant over the influence of wall slip (Ezquerra Larrodé et al 2000;Colin 2011). …”

The Graetz–Nusselt problem extended to continuum flows with finite slip

et al. 2015

Graetz and Nusselt studied heat transfer between a developed laminar fluid flow and a tube at constant wall temperature. Here, we extend the Graetz–Nusselt problem to dense fluid flows with partial wall slip. Its limits correspond to the classical problems for no-slip and no-shear flow. The amount of heat transfer is expressed by the local Nusselt number $\mathit{Nu}_{x}$, which is defined as the ratio of convective to conductive radial heat transfer. In the thermally developing regime, $\mathit{Nu}_{x}$ scales with the ratio of position $\tilde{x}=x/L$ to Graetz number $\mathit{Gz}$, i.e. $\mathit{Nu}_{x}\propto (\tilde{x}/\mathit{Gz})^{-{\it\beta}}$. Here, $L$ is the length of the heated or cooled tube section. The Graetz number $\mathit{Gz}$ corresponds to the ratio of axial advective to radial diffusive heat transport. In the case of no slip, the scaling exponent ${\it\beta}$ equals $1/3$. For no-shear flow, ${\it\beta}=1/2$. The results show that for partial slip, where the ratio of slip length $b$ to tube radius $R$ ranges from zero to infinity, ${\it\beta}$ transitions from $1/3$ to $1/2$ when $10^{-4}<b/R<10^{0}$. For partial slip, ${\it\beta}$ is a function of both position and slip length. The developed Nusselt number $\mathit{Nu}_{\infty }$ for $\tilde{x}/\mathit{Gz}>0.1$ transitions from 3.66 to 5.78, the classical limits, when $10^{-2}<b/R<10^{2}$. A mathematical and physical explanation is provided for the distinct transition points for ${\it\beta}$ and $\mathit{Nu}_{\infty }$.
