Abstract

In this study, a numerical model is established to study the forced and mixed convection heat transfer in the laminar region for horizontal mini tube with different diameters (1.2 mm to 3.0 mm) under the uniform wall heat flux boundary condition. The Reynolds number is set from 100 to 2,000 and the uniform wall heat flux boundary condition is set at 10 and 20 kW/m. The model is verified with well-established correlation to guarantee good accuracy. The existence of mixed convection is examined by (1) the ratio between the heat transfer coefficients at the top and the bottom of the tube, and (2) the temperature contour plot. Based on the simulation results, the existence of buoyancy superimposed on the main flow is strongly related to the tube diameter, the dimensionless location, the Reynolds number, and the heat flux applied. Under the same heating condition, for small diameter tube with insufficient length, buoyancy effect can never establish. The existing flow regime maps for macro tube were used to predict the forced and mixed convection regimes from the simulated mini tube results and discrepancy was found. A new flow regime map is hence developed for mini tubes, and it classified the simulation results with good accuracy.
