Abstract
An estimation in the recovery factor of micro gas flows by measuring the adiabatic wall temperatures is important for micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) as a non-testing method. Therefore the proposal methodology to estimate the recovery factor which is the ratio of the difference between adiabatic wall and bulk temperatures to the kinematic temperature is developed for a gas in a micro-tube for a wide range of Reynolds upto a turbulent gas flow regime. A recovery factor for the flow around the plate (external flow) has been proposed using a function of Prandtl number and Mach number by numerous researchers. In the present study, recovery factors for laminar and turbulent flow in micro-tubes (internal flow) were obtained using numerical simulations based on the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method. The LB1 turbulence model was used for the turbulent flow case. The compressible momentum and energy equations with the assumption of an ideal gas were solved. The recovery factor was also experimentally obtained by measuring the adiabatic wall temperature and the bulk temperature in a micro-tube whose external wall is covered with a foamed polystyrene (Fig. 1). The experiments were performed using three stainless micro-tubes of D = 523, 867 µm. The numerically and experimentally obtained recovery factors were compared with empirical correlation in the literature (Fig. 2).
