This study explores hydrodynamic instability and pressure drop in a water-cooled two-phase micro-channel heat sink containing 21 parallel 231 713 lm micro-channels. Two types of two-phase… (More)
Critical heat flux (CHF) was measured for a water-cooled micro-channel heat sink containing 21 parallel 215· 821 lm channels. Tests were performed with deionized water over a mass velocity range of… (More)
The pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a single-phase micro-channel heat sink were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The heat sink was fabricated from oxygen-free… (More)
This paper is the first of a two-part study concerning measurement and prediction of saturated flow boiling heat transfer in a water-cooled micro-channel heat sink. In this paper, new experimental… (More)
In this study, the three-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer in a rectangular micro-channel heat sink are analyzed numerically using water as the cooling fluid. The heat sink consists of a 1-cm… (More)
This paper is Part II of a two-part study devoted to measurement and prediction of the saturated flow boiling heat transfer coefficient in water-cooled micro-channel heat sinks. Part I discussed the… (More)
The design and reliable operation of a two-phase micro-channel heat sink require a fundamental understanding of the complex transport phenomena associated with convective boiling in small, parallel… (More)
Experiments were performed to measure the incipient boiling heat flux in a heat sink containing 21 rectangular (231 lm wide and 713 lm deep) micro-channels. Tests were performed using deionized water… (More)
Flow development and pressure drop were investigated both experimentally and computationally for adiabatic single-phase water flow in a single 222 m wide, 694 m deep, and 12 cm long rectangular… (More)
This paper explores several issues important to the thermal design of single-phase and two-phase micro-channel heat sinks. The first part of the paper concerns single-phase heat transfer in… (More)
