Abstract

Short-channel structures of triangular and sinusoidal channel cross-sectional shape were examined experimentally to find their heat (or mass) transfer and flow friction (flow resistance) characteristics. A particular emphasis was placed on influence of the channels length (referred to its hydraulic diameter) on transport and hydrodynamic characteristics. The transport and friction properties were correlated in terms of dimensionless channel length with satisfactory accuracy. The dimensionless channel length was proved to be a key factor that determines the transport and friction coefficients. Comparison with ceramic monolith has shown possibility of using the structures in automotive catalytic converters.
