Abstract: This study provides a comprehensive methodology for optimizing the design of a two-phase micro-channel heat sink. The heat sink parameters are grouped into geometrical parameters, operating ...

Abstract: This Technical Brief is Part II of a two-part study concerning water single-phase pressure drop and heat transfer in an array of staggered micro-pin-fins. This brief reports the pressure drop ...

Abstract: This is Paper I of a two-part study concerning thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of liquid single-phase flow in an array of micro-pin-fins. This paper reports the heat transfer results ...

Abstract: The pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a single-phase micropin-fin heat sink were investigated experimentally. Fabricated from 110 copper, the heat sink contained an array of 1950 ...

Abstract: The design and reliable operation of a two-phase micro-channel heat sink require a fundamental understanding of the complex transport phenomena associated with convective boiling in small, parallel ...

Abstract: Flow development and pressure drop were investigated both experimentally and computationally for adiabatic single-phase water flow in a single 222μm wide, 694μm deep, and 12cm long rectangular ...

Abstract: This study concerns pressure drop of adiabatic water liquid-vapor two-phase flow across an array of 1950 staggered square micropin-fins having a 200×200 μm cross section by 670 μm height. ...

Abstract: Knowledge of flow pattern and flow pattern transitions is essential to the development of reliable predictive tools for pressure drop and heat transfer in two-phase micro-channel heat sinks. In ...
