Purpose -Biotechnology is closely associated to microfluidics. During the last decade, designs of microfluidic devices such as geometries and scales have been modified and improved according to the applications for better performance. Numerous sensor technologies existing in the industry has potential use for clinical applications. Fabrication techniques of microfluidics initially rooted from the electromechanical systems (EMS) technology. Design/methodology/approach -In this review, we emphasized on the most available manufacture approaches to fabricate microchannels, their applications and the properties which make them unique components in biological studies. Findings -Major fundamental and technological advances demonstrate the enhancing of capabilities and improving the reliability of biosensors based on microfluidic. Several researchers have been reported verity of methods to fabricate different devices based on EMS technology due to the electroconductivity properties and their small size of them. Therefore, controlled fabrication method of MEMS plays an important role to design and fabricate a highly selective detection of medical devices in a variety of biological fluids. Stable, tight and reliable monitoring devices for biological components still remains a massive challenge and several studies focused on MEMS to fabricate simple and easy monitoring devices. Originality/value -This paper is not submitted or under review in any other journal.

“…Microchannel heat sink has been shown to be a very effective way to remove high heat load in microelectronic devices, especially for those with heat dissipation levels exceeding the capacity of conventional air cooling systems [1][2][3][4]. A large heat transfer coefficient can be achieved by reducing channel hydraulic diameter.…”

“…Therefore there is a need to improve cooling systems by decreasing their size and weight to micro-and mini-scale systems, such as micro-channel heat exchangers and heat sinks [2], while simultaneously increasing the efficiency to meet this development [3]. Mini-and micro-channels are different from traditional channels, and can be classified according to their associated hydraulic diameters, Dh, [4][5][6] as presented in table 1.…”

Three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer under laminar flow conditions within a microchannel is analysed numerically to explore the impact of a new design of vortex generator positioned at intervals along the base of the channel. The vortex generators are cylindrical with quarter-circle and half-circle cross sections, with variants spanning the whole width of the channel or parts of the channel. Micro-channels with Reynolds number ranging from 100 to 2300 are subjected to a uniform heat flux relevant to microelectronics cooling. To ensure the accuracy of the results, validations against previous microchannel studies were conducted and found to be in good agreement, before the new vortex generators with radii up to 400 µm were analysed. Using a thermal-hydraulic performance parameter expressed in a new way, the VGs described here are shown to offer significant potential in combatting the challenges of heat transfer in the technological drive toward lower weight/smaller volume electrical and electronic devices.
