Abstract: The effect of surface roughness on the thermohydraulics in minichannels has been studied numerically. Fluid flow (at low Reynolds number) through a typical three-dimensional (3D) channel subjected to constant heat flux (at ...

Abstract: Axial conduction is a crucial performance deteriorating factor in miniaturized heat transfer devices, primarily due to the low fluid flow rates, high solid cross-sectional to free-flow area ratio, and use of high thermal ...
