CFD Analysis on Micro Channel with a Micro Fin on a Compact Heat Exchanger

Abstract

With the developing technology and requirement of superior cooling needs .the compact heat exchangers are quite popular with the industries these days. Especially in the field of Aeronautics, electronics and cryogenics. In the present study the CFD analysis of A micro channel with micro fin is developed to study the effect of the micro fin inside the Micro channel. Special emphasize is made to know the effects on density of fins on the various flow parameters inside the micro channels.

      The study of convection heat transfer in a domain of conjugate boundary conditions is done in the present study. In this the CFD analysis is done on micro channel without  fin, micro channel with single fin and micro channel with multiple fins for heat flux, temperature distribution and heat transfer rate at various flow parameters. By observing the three types of fin arrangements the micro channel with multiple fin is having high heat transfer rate.
