“…As AGHP is applicable to mass industrial production and characterized by convenient and flexible secondary processing, stable performance and high reliability, currently it has been widely applied in the cooling system of portable personal computers [1][2][3]. But during actual application, due to restriction of space, mini AGHP often needs secondary processing of which the most common form is flattening [4][5][6][7].…”

“…In the circumferential area, the vapour is condensed and flows back to the bottom layer. The liquid, then, flows toward the central part as a result of capillary pressure [16], by means of a wick structure [18]. The operating limitations of micro heat spreaders depend on the design and characteristic parameters of the system.…”

“…Experimental results [42] have demonstrated that integration of microfluidic chips with semiconductor devices has several advantages, including the increase in thermal conductivity and decrease in temperature gradient across the device. Thus, research has been performed on various integration techniques, such as bonding [16].…”

“…Micro heat spreaders, or micro heat pipe heat spreaders [16], are passive thermal microfluidic chips that work with the same principle as micro heat pipes. Micro heat spreaders are typically planar circular structures with layers of radial channels [17].…”

“…The operating limitations of micro heat spreaders depend on the design and characteristic parameters of the system. For instance in some designs [16], a separation plate is placed between the top and bottom layers of micro heat spreader, which removes all concerns about the entrainment limitation.…”

During the past two decades, thermal microfluidic chips have significantly been investigated. Due to their high capacity of heat transport, an increasing number of studies on different aspects of thermal microfluidic chips have been conducted.However, a comprehensive investigation on the geometry of microfluidic chips using state of the art finite element software is absent from the literature. In this thesis, geometric parameters of thermal microfluidic chips have been optimized, using finite element software. Consequently, micro and macro phenomena were

SUMMARYA review of recent investigations on micro heat pipes of various geometrical designs, fabrication methods, operational environments and applications is presented, along with a comparative analysis of the performance of various designs, based on quantitative design parameters and performance indicators. A comprehensive report of the salient features of these investigations has been presented in a tabular form, in order to provide a quick reference of the state-of-the-art of micro heat pipe research. Both theoretical and experimental investigations have been included in this review, with special attention given to some of the new concepts and proposed designs for micro heat pipes, currently under development.
