Viscoelastic fluid naturally has both viscous and elastic properties. Therefore, there are two
sources of nonlinear effects, namely inertial and elastic nonlinearities. The existence of …

The characteristics of convective heat transfer and fluid flow within a square cross-section
serpentine channel are experimentally studied for two groups of polymeric viscoelastic …

Viscoelastic fluids are a subclass of complex fluids used in widespread applications ranging
from biological to large-scale industrial settings. These fluids are often associated with …

Heat and mass transfer in microscale flows are limited due to extremely low Reynolds
number (Re). In a curved microchannel, however, complex flow behaviors, such as elastic …

Polymer solutions in the semi-dilute regime are of considerable industrial importance. The
complex rheological properties of such highly viscoelastic fluids and the complexity of their …

Elastic turbulence has shown great potential to enhance heat transfer performance at the
microscale. Most of the studies, however, have only considered global convective heat …

Although many investigations on elastic turbulence have been conducted in recent years,
two major research topics still call for in-depth mechanistic investigations. Specifically, one is …

Effective mixing in microscale systems encounters difficulties due to the inherently low
Reynolds numbers. This investigation delves into harnessing elastic instability and elastic …

Temperature measurement is the core technique for investigating heat transfer in
microfluidics. In this paper, the resistance thermometry of Titanium–Platinum (Ti–Pt) films is …

Highly efficient technologies of heat dissipation are urgent with the hoard of high heat flux in
shrinking and integrating electronic units. Besides, increasing numbers of simple-structured …
