This paper considers experimental and theoretical investigations on single-phase heat transfer in micro-channels. It is the second part of general exploration Flow and heat transfer in micro-channels. The first part discussed several aspects of flow in micro-channels, as pressure drop, transition from laminar to turbulent flow, etc. [G. Hetsroni, A. Mosyak, E. Pogrebnyak, L.P. Yarin, Fluid flow in micro-channels, Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer 48 (2005) 1982-1998]. In this paper, the problem of heat transfer is considered in the frame of a continuum model, corresponding to small Knudsen number. The data of heat transfer in circular, triangular, rectangular, and trapezoidal micro-channels with hydraulic diameters ranging from 60 pm to 2000 mu m are analyzed. The effects of geometry, axial heat flux due to thermal conduction through the working fluid and channel walls, as well as the energy dissipation are discussed. We focus on comparing experimental data, obtained by number of investigators, to conventional theory on heat transfer. The analysis was performed on possible sources of unexpected effects reported in some experimental investigations. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
