... perturbation of the diameter of a circular microchannel on the predictions made by the selected criteria, and seeks to demonstrate an optimum rate of expansion. It is demonstrated that a nonzero diameter expansion necessarily improves performance under several criteria for critical heat flux, and an optimum...

...Zhipeng Duan; Y. S. Muzychka The effect of axial corrugated surface roughness on fully developed laminar flow in microtubes is investigated. The radius of a microtube varies with the axial distance due to corrugated roughness. The Stokes equation is solved using a perturbation method with slip...
