Summary

Experimental and numerical research on microchannel heat transfer and fluid flow is presented in this article. Diameters of the microtubes were 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mm and the flow regime was laminar in a Re-number range of up to 800. The working fluid was distilled water and the tube material was stainless steel. The experimental set-up was designed in such a way that the investigation of the average friction factor and developing heat transfer was possible. Due to the large scattering in the reported experimental results, the scope of this research was to make accurate measurements and to compare the experimental heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics with numerical and theoretical results for the conventional tubes.
