Solução aproximada para convecção forçada em microcanais

Abstract

Nowdays, the number of studies envolving heat transfer and the fluid flow in micro-channels has drastically increased primarily due to the discovery of countless practical applications. Therefore, it’s very important for us to expand our current knowlegde of this devices. The present research has as objective the study of the forced convection on the fluid flow in micro-channels using the “Generalized Integral Transform Technique (GITT)” with the intention of reducing the original problem to a linear system of first order differential equations, posteriorly solving them using algorithms for the numerical solution of ordinary differencial systems. The obtained results are presented as an approximate solution for the fluid medium temperature and the Nusselt number throughout the channel in study. And, to validate the study, a comparison with the results found and the ones found in the scientific literature is made.
