Abstract: This paper deals with the analysis of the main features of forced microconvection of liquid and gas flows through microchannels. A critical overview of the main effects that tends to play an important role in the determination ...

Abstract: In this work, hydrodynamically and thermally fully developed gas flow through elliptical microchannels is numerically investigated. The Navier–Stokes and energy equations are solved by considering the firstorder slip ...

Abstract: Abstract. This study investigates the effect of compressibility on the kinetic energy correction factor, α, in both laminar and turbulent gaseous flows. In Bernoulli's equation, α is defined as the ratio of kinetic energy ...
