Résumé

Experiments were conducted on the fluid flow and heat transfer for packed glass beads between plates with longitudinally mini-channeled surface. The measured results were reported for different configuration combinations. Remarkable improvement in performance of pressure drop and heat transfer can be obtained. Optimum aspect ratio-channeled configuration would exist, which was found to be varied with Reynolds number.
