Influence of tip clearance on heat transfer efficiency in staggered micro-cylinders-group
which is made up of micro-cylinders with hydraulic diameter of 500 μm and height of 500 μm
and an experimental study is performed on the influence of tip clearance on heat transfer efficiency in the staggered micro-cylinders-group.Using an electricity heater
the flow rate and the temperature difference between the inlet and the outlet of micro-cylinders-group are measured and the friction factor and Nusselt numbers can be obtained over Reynolds numbers ranging from 8 to 400.The relationship between heat transfer efficiency and Reynolds number is grasped.The experimental results indicate that the tip clearance has a little influence on flow resistance and Nusselt number at low Reynolds number and these influences become apparent with the increase of Reynolds number.The heat transfer efficiency of micro-cylinders-group heat sink increases rapidly with Reynolds number for a start
and it increases slowly with the increase of Reynolds number
even begins to drop with the further increase of Reynolds number.However
the existence of the tip clearance promotes heat transfer efficiency in the micro-cylinders-group heat sink
though it reduces Nusselt number based on the experimental results.
