Heat transfer studies in microchannels

From a survey on studies on convection in microchannels, the Brinkman number is proposed as a parameter for correlating the Nusselt number. This proposal emerges from a dimensional analysis of the variables influencing the laminar forced convective heat transfer in microchannels, and explains the hi...
