Effect of Pin Diameter Degressive Gradient on Heat Transfer in a Microreactor with Non-Uniform Pin-Fin Array under Low Reynolds Number Conditions

To improve the efficiency of hydrogen-producing microreactors with non-uniform pin-fin array, the influence of the pin diameter degressive gradient of the non-uniform pin-fin array (NPFA) on heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics is analyzed in this study via numerical simulation under low...
