I am developing a salesforce app and using OAuth 2.0 to login. I have a refresh token; how do I get a new access_token by sending a request to salesforce via OAuth 2.0 containing the refresh token for a particular user?

Request an Updated Access Token. A connected app can use the refresh token to get a new access token by sending one of the following refresh token POST requests to the Salesforce token endpoint. The connected app can send the client_id and client_secret in the body of the refresh token POST request, as shown here.
For example, once an access token expires, the client application could prompt the user to log in again to get a new access token. Alternatively, the authorization server could issue a refresh token to the client application that lets it replace an expired access token with a new one.
To use the refresh token, make a POST request to the service's token endpoint with grant_type=refresh_token , and include the refresh token as well as the client credentials if required.
Taken from "Digging Deeper into Oauth 2.0 on Force.com", your application can obtain a new access token by POSTing another request to: https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token. The payload should be of the form: grant_type=refresh_token&client_id=[your client id]&client_secret=[your client secret]&refresh_token=[the user's refresh token].
