Influence of surfactant on friction pressure drop in a manifold microchannel

Optimization of thermal resistance and bottom wall temperature uniformity for double-layered microchannel heat sink

“…When the heat flux reaches up to 100 W cm À2 , the conventional cooling technology is failed to meet the requirement of thermal removal as expected. Fortunately, the microchannel heat sink (MCHS) proposed by Tuckerman and Pease [1] in 1981 can endure a heat flux as high as 790 W cm À2 , which becomes a significant way for thermal management of microelectronic devices and attracts a great deal of attention [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

110th Anniversary: The Missing Link Unearthed: Materials and Process Intensification

“…Polymer or surfactant additives can change the boundary phenomena near the wall and the interaction between liquid and solid, resulting in drastic reduction of the hydraulic resistance, whether it is a single-phase or a multiphase flow, a macroscale or a microchannel flow, oil or water. − …”

Next Generation Microchannel Heat Exchangers

“…The authors attributed this low difference to the nonoptimized geometries of FFMHX and suggested that the heat transfer geometry needed to be optimized for future potential improvement. Xia and Liu (2008) investigated experimentally the effect of two different surfactants on pressure drop in a single-channel manifold microchannel with the goal of increasing the system drag reduction. They used sodium dodecyl sulphate and alkyl polyglycoside aqueous solutions as working fluids.…”
