Optimal design of geometric parameters of double-layered microchannel heat sinks (2012, methodology): “Many experimental [1] and numerical [2–5,9–38] studies have investigated MCHS performance as a function of the solid materials, coolant fluids, and channel dimensions.”
Heat transfer enhancement in microchannel heat sinks using nanofluids (2012, methodology): “The MCHS is considered a potential cooling device for applications such as very large scale integrated circuits and micro-electro mechanical system cooling systems [2–5].”
Influence of channel shape on the thermal and hydraulic performance of microchannel heat sink (2011, background): “For wavy and curvy microchannels, it is found that the Dean vortices can quickly develop along the flow direction and disturb the boundary layer [7,37].”
Fabrication of microchannels: A review (2015, background): “Microchannel heat sink consists of large number of microchannels having dimensions of 200mm 3 400mm 3 10 mm.(14) These microchannel heat sinks with different inlet and outlet arrangements of the shapes of U, D, N, V, I and S have been evaluated and concluded that heat sink with inlet and outlet arra”
