Many of the solid surfaces for which values of the thermal


Many of the solid surfaces for which values of the thermal and momentum accommodation coefficients have been measured are quite different from those used in micro- and nanodevices. Plot the Nusselt num- ber Nuassociated with fully developed laminar flow with constant surface heat flux versus tube diameter for  1 µ,1 mm  and  (i)  at  = 1,  ap  = 1,   (ii) a= 0.1, a= 0.1, (iii)  a= 1,  a= 0.1,  and  (iv) a= 0.1, a= 1. For tubes of what diameter do the accommodation coefficients begin to influence con- vection heat transfer? For which combination of aand adoes the Nusselt number exhibit the least sensitivity to changes in the diameter of the tube? Which combi- nation results in Nusselt numbers greater than the con- ventional fully developed laminar value for constant heat flux conditions, Nu= 4.36? Which combination is associated with the smallest Nusselt numbers? What can you say about the ability to predict convection heat transfer coefficients in a small-scale device if the accommodation coefficients are not known for mate- rial from which the device is fabricated? Use proper- ties of air at atmospheric pressure and = 300 K.
