Thermally Developing Flow and Heat Transfer in Elliptical Minichannels with Constant Wall Temperature

Laminar convective heat transfer of elliptical minichannels is investigated for hydrodynamically fully developed but thermal developing flow with no-slip condition. A three-dimensional numerical model is developed in different elliptical geometries with the aspect ratio varying from 0.2 to 1. The ef...
