International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer 32 (2005) 1211–1220 /locate/ichmt Fully developed laminar flow and heat transfer in smooth trapezoidal microchannelB Bin Cao, Guang Wen ChenT, Quan Yuan Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 457 Zhongshan Road, Dalian 116023, China Available online 6 June 2005 Abstract Numerical analysis of fully developed laminar slip flow and heat transfer in trapezoidal micro-channels has been studied with uniform wall heat flux boundary conditions. Through coordinate transformation, the governing equations are transformed from physical plane to computational domain, and the resulting equations are solved by a finite-difference scheme. The influences of velocity slip and temperature jump on friction coefficient and Nusselt number are investigated in detail. The calculation also shows that the aspect ratio and base angle have significant effect on flow and heat transfer in trapezoidal micro-channel. D 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Introduction In the past two decades, the rapid development of microelectromechanic systems (MEMS) and micro- chemical system has brought up a great interest in studying flow and heat transfer in micro-scale [1]. The Knudsen number Kn can classify the gas flow in micro-channel into four flow regimes: continuum flow regime (Kn b 0.001), slip flow regime (0.001 bKn b 0.1), transition flow regime (0.1 bKn b 10) and free molecular flow regime (Kn N 10). In order to understand the characteristics of fluid flow and heat transfer in microchannel, many researchers have conducted experimental investigations
