ABSTRACT

116A finite volume (FV) method is used to solve the conjugate heat transfer through the heat sinks. In this work the flow and heat transfer development regions inside the tubes are considered. The numerical results are then compared with the available experimental data. The effects of liquid velocity through channels and their effects on heat transfer and pressure drop along microchannels are investigated. Finally, the effects of aspect ratio on heat dissipation and pressure drop in microtubes are predicted.
