TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional flow and heat transfer model is used to study gas compressibility and rarefaction in microchannels assuming a slip flow regime, where the compressible forms of momentum and energy equations are solved with slip velocity and temperature jump boundary conditions in a parallel plate channel for both uniform wall temperature and uniform wall heat flux boundary conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite volume methodology was developed to predict fully developed heat transfer coefficients, friction factors, and streamlines for flow in a corrugated duct, which can be adopted for other convection-diffusion problems in which two boundaries of the flow domain do not lie along the coordinate lines.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of three geometrical parameters; relative width of secondary channel (λ), relative rib width (β), and angle of secondary channels (θ) on the convective heat transfer and pressure drop have been investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of compressibility on gaseous flow characteristics in micro-channels was investigated using the Lagrangian-Eulerian method based on the product of friction factor and Reynolds number expressed as a function of both Reynolds number and Mach number.

TL;DR: In this paper, an approach that can determine the flow rate with consideration of the pressure drop is proposed, and a comparison is made with Kettleborough's and Aihara's results.
