| Research Abstract |
The shape of microchannels is an important design variable to achieve the desired performance. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is often used to rigorously examine the influence of the shape of microchannels on heat and mass transport phenomena in the flow field. In this research, a CFD-based shape optimization system is developed. To validate the effectiveness of the developed system, pressure drop minimization problems of microchannels are solved. In addition, micro electrolytic reactors having herringbone grooves are proposed to accelerate mass transfer of raw materials and products in the cross-sectional direction. The size and shape of grooves are optimally designed on the developed system.
