Abstract

Two-dimensional laminar numerical analyses were carried out for investigating the thermo-hydraulic characteristics of wavy channels with different shape parameters ($0.5{\leq}{\in}{\leq}1.5$, $0.1{\leq}{\gamma}{\leq}0.4$). PAO (polyalphaolefin), which is used for electronics cooling, is considered as the working fluid. In addition, constant properties, periodically developed flow, and uniform channel wall temperature conditions are assumed. Streamline and temperature fields, isothermal Fanning friction factors, and Colburn factors are presented for different Reynolds numbers in the laminar region ($1{\leq}Re{\leq}1000$). The results show that heat transfer is enhanced when the channel corrugation ratio (${\gamma}$) is large and channel spacing ratio (${\in}$) is small in the low Reynolds number region (Re < 50) and when ${\in}$ and ${\gamma}$ are large in the high Reynolds number region ($Re{\geq}50$).

본 연구에서는 2차원 파형 채널의 여러 형상($0.5{\leq}{\in}{\leq}1.5$, $0.1{\leq}{\gamma}{\leq}0.4$)에 대한 층류 열유동 수치해석을 수행하고, 형상변화에 따른 열유동특성을 비교 분석하였다. 전자장비 냉각용으로 적용되고 있는 PAO(Polyalphaolefin)를 작동유체로 고려하였고, 균일한 물성치와 주기적으로 발달한 유동 및 채널벽면에서의 등온 조건을 가정하였다. 층류유량조건($1{\leq}Re{\leq}1000$)에서 레이놀즈수에 따른 유선 및 온도 분포, 등온 Fanning 마찰계수, Colburn 계수를 제시하였고, 분석 결과 낮은 레이놀즈(Re<50) 구간에서는 채널주름비가 크고 채널간격비가 작을수록, 높은 레이놀즈($Re{\geq}50$) 구간에서는 채널주름비와 채널간격비가 모두 클수록 열전달이 향상되었다.
