... and Jeong [( 20 )], Hooman [( 21 )], and Çetin et al. [( 30 )] in the fully developed region are in close agreement. Although based on the same equations and the same definition 29 of the Brinkman number, the results calculated by the integral transform technique by Tunc and Bayatoziglu [( 18 )] are most...

... theory. We will present a correlation between the Brinkman number and the Nusselt number for silicon ⟨100⟩ and ⟨110⟩ microchannels. It will be demonstrated that the fluid is of importance in establishing the exact limit of significance of the viscous dissipation in microchannels; a criterion to analyze...
