Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-scale modelling of flow in periodic solid structures through spatial averaging
Geert Buckinx,Martine Baelmans +1 more
TL;DR: This case study illustrates the advantages of the weighted spatial averaging technique over the volume averaging technique for flow through a cylindrical tube array.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal design and optimization of small-scale high effectiveness cross-flow heat exchangers
TL;DR: In this article, a closed-form expression for the optimal geometric parameters that maximize power density was derived for a parallel-plate cross-flow heat exchanger with the lowest possible core volume for effectiveness values between 0.55 and 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macro-scale heat transfer in periodically developed flow through isothermal solids
Geert Buckinx,Martine Baelmans +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatially averaged temperature equations for modeling macro-scale heat transfer in periodic solid structures such as fin and tube arrays are derived, and a matched weighting function is used to represent the interfacial heat transfer and thermal dispersion source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Friction factor for steady periodically developed flow in micro- and mini-channels with arrays of offset strip fins
TL;DR: In this paper, the friction factor for steady periodically developed flow through micro-and mini-channels with periodic arrays of offset strip fin arrays is analyzed numerically on a unit cell of the array for Reynolds numbers ranging from 1 to 600 and fin height-to-length ratios below 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Friction factor for steady periodically developed flow in micro-and mini-channels with arrays of offset strip fins
TL;DR: In this paper, the friction factor for steady periodically developed flow through micro-and mini-channels with periodic arrays of offset strip fin arrays is analyzed, and a new friction factor correlation is constructed from an extensive set of numerical simulations through a least-squares fitting procedure.
