Surface roughness can significantly influence the fluid dynamics and heat transfer in
convective flows by inducing perturbations in the velocity profile which affect surface drag …

An impressive amount of investigations has been devoted to enhancing thermal
performance of microchannels. The small size of microchannels and their ability to dissipate …

Microscale single-phase heat transfer is widely used in industrial and scientific applications
and for this reason, many related papers have been published in the last two decades …

Heat transfer process in micro/mini-scales becomes an urgent need for many applications
where size and weight are severe constraints such as electronics. However, the latter led to …

Al2O3/water nanofluid conjugate heat transfer inside a microchannel is studied numerically.
The fluid flow is laminar and a constant heat flux is applied to the axisymmetric …

This paper numerically investigated the behavior of water through the micro heat sink with
fan-shaped reentrant cavities and internal ribs (FRCR) with different relative rib height (e/Dh) …

Constrained fluid flow and conjugate heat transfer in microchannel heat sinks (MCHS) with
converging channels are investigated using the finite volume method (FVM) in the laminar …

The tendency of increasing power rating and shrinking size of power electronics systems
requires advanced thermal management technology. Introduction of micro-channel heat sink …

A general threshold was proposed to subdivide a flow in a smooth or a rough micro-and mini-
channel. A database was setup based on the experimental results of liquid flow in rough …

Three-dimensional conjugate numerical simulations using the inlet, average and variable
thermal properties respectively were performed for the laminar water flow and heat transfer …
