Abstract Particle suspension is considered powerful and perspective in enhancing heat transfer, but the unclear nature of particle‐loaded flow limits further understanding particle suspension. Therefore, this paper, orthogonal experiments arbitrary Lagrangian‐Eulerian method were used to investigate transfer characteristics flow. Results indicate that when at inlet microchannel, factors arranged important order are Reynolds number, blockage ratio, initial position, specific capacity, thermal conductivity. When far from microchannel inlet, conductivity, capacity.
