A comprehensive review on microchannel heat sinks for electronics cooling (2023, background): “Additionally, considering factors like size effect, surface effect, compressibility and rarefaction of the coolant, there are obvious differences between microchannel flow boiling and conventional pool boiling [113–116].”
ENGINEERING FLOWS IN SMALL DEVICES (2004, methodology): “Moreover, the chemical variations could also represent changes in wettability and may be used to manipulate the location of an air-water interface in a microflow, such as the pressure-driven flows illustrated in Figure 3 (Zhao et al. 2001).”
Controlled microfluidic interfaces (2005, methodology): “In micrometre-sized systems, capillary forces can overcome gravitation and be used to create precisely controlled vertical interfaces, or ‘virtual walls’, between water and ai”
Microfluidics: Fluid physics at the nanoliter scale (2005, methodology): “Hydrophobic stripes have been used to confine fluids Handique et al., 1997 , and to create “wall-less” channels Gau et al., 1999; Kataoka and Troian, 1999; Zhao et al., 2001 .”
