Abstract
A laminar convective heat transfer coefficient of a rectangular microchannel is investigated under constant heat flux value throughout the wall. Two dimensional numerical simulations were performed using the FLUENT and GAMBIT software packages for a rectangular microchannel with a breadth of L and a length of 200L. Based on the temperature distributions obtained from simulations, both the local and average Nusselt numbers for different Reynolds numbers ranging from 100 to 400 for different heat flux values are determined.
