...Antar Tahiri; Haroun Ragueb; Mustafa Moussaoui; Kacem Mansouri; Djemaa Guerraiche; Khelifa Guerraiche Purpose This paper aims to present a numerical investigation into heat transfer and entropy generation resulting from magnetohydrodynamic laminar flow through a microchannel under asymmetric...

...Zheng Bo; Qi Zhao; Xiaorui Shuai; Jianhua Yan; Kefa Cen Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a quantitative assessment on the effect of wall roughness on the pressure drop of fluid flow in microchannels. Design/methodology/approach – The wall roughness is generated...

... in cross-flow micro heat exchangers. Design/methodology/approach – The velocity fields in single microchannels are calculated by solving the parabolised form of the momentum equations and later mapped onto the three-dimensional grid, corresponding to an appropriate portion of the micro heat exchanger...

...Awad B.S. Alquaity; Salem A. Al‐Dini; Bekir S. Yilbas Purpose Heat capacity enhancement is important for variety of applications, including microchannel cooling and solar thermal energy conversion. A promising method to enhance heat capacity of a fluid is by introducing phase change particles...
