Viscous Dissipative Flow between Parallel Plates
Increasing degree of miniaturization in devices has led to studies in micro-scale heat and fluid flow, since the thermal behaviour in small devices and in micro-channels may deviate substantially from that of large objects. One of the effects that could play an important role in mirror-channels is t...

Increasing degree of miniaturization in devices has led to studies in micro-scale heat and fluid flow, since the thermal behaviour in small devices and in micro-channels may deviate substantially from that of large objects.

Initially, basic analytical expressions for Nusselt number with the effect of viscous dissipation on the heat transfer between infinite fixed parallel plates, where the focus is on-dynamically and thermally fully developed flow of a Newtonian fluid with constant properties, neglecting the axial heat conduction has been analysed.
