Numerical Investigation Of Flow And Heat Transfer In Microchannel
A numerical study was conducted to investigate the flow of water flowing through a rectangular channel with a hydraulic diameter of 86.58 μm.A constant heat flux is applied to the heatsink top surface to investigate the cooling performance of the microchannel heatsink.The flow employed had Reynolds...
