Abstract
In this study, experimental and numerical investigations were performed to obtain the fluid flow characteristics of gaseous flow in micro-tube with 180° bends. Especially, attention was put on the influence of compressibility in micro-tube. Experiments were performed on micro-tube with bend having diameter of 75, 100, 150μm with Reynolds number which range from 100 to 500. Furthermore, numerical investigations to obtain detailed effects in bend in micro-tube were performed, and the influences exerted by compressibility and bend were investigated.
