Heat transfer characteristics for laminar flow between parallel plates with suction
Abstract
The effects of different inlet velocity profiles on the heat transfer rate are investigated for laminar flows in porous parallel-plate channels. Three velocity profiles are considered: uniform, parabolic, and double-parabolic; the ranges of inlet Reynolds numbers and suction Reynolds numbers tested are 150-600 and 15-60 respectively. For all the cases tested, the flow downstream is found to bear a strong resemblance to the inlet velocity profile. The energy equation, including the axial conduction term, is solved simultaneously with the flow equations. The resulting solutions are valid for ordinary fluids and liquid metals.
