Slip flow forced convection in a microchannel with semi-circular cross-section

This paper offers theoretical results for fully developed slip-flow forced convection through a microchannel of semicircular cross-section. Numerical results are also presented to study the developing region. Velocity slip and temperature jump boundary conditions are applied at the uniformly heated walls. The results from the two different sources are cross validated and those pertaining to the limiting case of no-slip flow are found to be in good agreement with those available in the literature. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
