Abstract:In the current study, a numerical analysis has been performed to examine the performance characteristics of the slotted microchannel heat sink. Twelve equidistant slots are entrenched at the base wall of the channel. Four different shapes of slots are considered in this study. They are rectangular (case 1), trapezoidal (case 2), V (case 3) and curved shaped (case 4). Numerical simulations have been performed for these cases with Reynold’s number ranging between 150 to 350 with a constant heat flux of 100 W/cm2… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
