In the present work the effects of thermal creep on

the development of fluid flow and heat transfer in

rectangular microchannels with constant wall

temperature in the slip flow regime, 10-3 ≤ Kn ≤ 10-1, is...

Natural convection gaseous slip flows in open-ended vertical parallel-plate microchannels with symmetric wall heat fluxes are numerically investigated. A second-order model, including thermal creep effects, is considered for velocity slip...

A control-volume numerical approach has been used to study rarefaction effects in simultaneously hydrodynamically and thermally developing 3D micro flows in rectangular channels for Kn ≤ 0.1. The effects of velocity slip, thermal creep...

It is well known that in a gas-filled duct or channel along which a temperature gradient is applied, a thermal creep flow is created. The performance of a new type of Knudsen pump, which only requires

isothermal hot or cold walls...

-Kutta and shooting method. Consequently, the velocity profiles, the temperature profiles, the wall shear stress and the local Nusselt number exhibit a dependence on the slip coefficient. The results illustrate that the thermal creep term has a very small effect...

In the present study, we investigate the characteristics of thermal cavity/ in the rarefied flow

regime using direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC). We use a recently developed iterative technique

to impose a ...

divergence angle when Knudsen number is high. We show

that enhanced thermal creep effect is the main source of the

mass flow rate increase if the wall temperature gradient is

increased....

regime (10-3 ≤ Kn ≤ 10-1). The effects of velocity slip and thermal creep on the key flow parameters are examined in

detail. Low Reynolds number flows (Re ≤ 1) for different channel aspect ratios (0 ≤ α* ≤ 1) are considered. The...
