Three-dimensional analysis of heat transfer in a micro-heat sink with single phase flow

Experimental investigation of fluid flow and heat transfer in a single-phase liquid flow micro-heat exchanger

“…It might be argued that heat losses to the ambient air may have an inci dence in this value. In this sense, Li et al [25] already stated, the heat losses at low Re conditions demand particular attention because their value might become important compared to the heat effectively transferred between fluids. In our case, special care has been taken to minimize those losses.…”

Study of Motor Oil Cooling at Low Reynolds Number in Multi-Port Narrow Channels

“…The main outcome of these studies shows that it is essential to take into account the variation of the fluid thermal conductivity and viscosity in the investigation of conventional [Xie and Hartnett (1992), and Shin and Cho (1993)] and narrow channel flows [Park et al (2001) and Li et al (2004)], especially at low Reynolds numbers. On the other hand, other properties, such as fluid density and specific heat, can be considered independent on temperature.…”

A Triangular Double Layer Microchannel Heat Sink: Effect of Parallel and Counter Flow

“…This microchannel cooling concept explains that the convective heat transfer coefficient is inversely proportional with the channel width. From this concept [2], it was found that the use of high-aspect ratio to a certain level will further reduce thermal resistances and this concept has proven to be instrumental in cooling electronic devices due to inherent simplicity, reliability, low cost and has been extensively been used in recent years [2][3][4][5][6][7].…”
