Abstract: Abstract This paper compares the optimal geometry of a rectangular microchannel heat sink (MCHS) for different channel wall surfaces, namely, conventional (uncoated and smooth), hydrophobic, and superhydrophobic. For this purpose, the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes and energy… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the thermal efficiency of converging microchannels with superhydrophobic walls under various coolant flow rates. To enhance the thermal performance of microchannels, geometric optimization is performed for different values of pumping power,… read more here.
