Due to the shrinking of the industrial equipment, the heat transfer and cooling of these devices are ofparticular importance. Therefore, this paper studies fluid flow and heat transfer in a micro-channel. Inthis study three-dimensional laminar numerical simulations, based on the Navier–Stokes equations andenergy equation, are obtained for pressure drop and heat transfer in these micro-channel heat sinksunder the same conditions. In this article, the first step is to investigate the effect of channel shape andgeometry on the heat transfer and pressure drop in micro-channels. In, the second step, the effect ofundefined heat flux and distinct input condition is investigated, and third step, the effect of increasingthe number of channels is checked to do an ideal form of heat transfer in a micro-channel. According tothe results, heat transfer using a hexagonal micro-channel is improved 20% on the rectangular microchannel(with equal hydraulic diameter).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
