Estudo teórico da convenção forçada laminar em microcanais via método das linhas

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to theoretically analyze the convection if a Newtonian fluid, undergoing a fully developed laminar flow inside of microchannel. In order to simulate a close to real phenomena it was used the flow line method. It also allows to analyze the local behavior of the fluid. Those approximations of the phenomena were done by a finite number of computational iterations aiming to converge to the real phenomena of study. The result was possible by finding the solution of a coupled system of differential ordinary equations. The solution gets closer to reality as the number of lines increases, thus requiring a larger computational effort. To have a result that can be applied to more scenario, it was used various numbers of knudsen. This extra data show the analysis of the speed and temperature profiles, starting at the entrance point and up to the fully developed region. The conclusion of this work is based on similar results from other authors.
