Abstract: In this study, fully developed flow parallel to ordered fibers is investigated analytically. The considered fibrous media are made up of in-line (square), staggered, and hexagonal arrays of ...

Abstract: In the present study, a compact analytical model is developed to determine the pressure drop of fully-developed, incompressible, and constant properties slip-flow through arbitrary cross section ...

Abstract: Passive heat transfer from enclosures with rectangular fins is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Several sample enclosures with various lengths are prepared and tested. To calibrate ...

Abstract: A compact analytical model is proposed for predicting thermal joint resistance of rough polymer-metal interfaces in a vacuum. The model assumes plastic deformation at microcontacts and joint ...

Abstract: The pressure drop of fully developed, laminar, incompressible flow in smooth mini- and microchannels of arbitrary cross-section is investigated. A compact approximate model is proposed that predicts ...

Abstract: Advances in fabrication methods in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have generated significant interest in the area of microscale heat transfer and fluid flow. Microchannel heat exchangers can ...

Abstract: A new model is developed that considers the effect of roughness on the elastic contact of spherical bodies. A general pressure distribution is proposed that encompasses the contact of rough ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are presented for velocity and temperature distributions of laminar fully developed flow of Newtonian, constant property fluids in micro/minichannels of hyperelliptical and ...

Abstract: The thermal contact resistance (TCR) in a vacuum is studied. The TCR problem is divided into three different parts: geometrical, mechanical, and thermal. Each problem includes a macro- and ...
