Abstract:In the present study, an arrangement of triangular microchannels with different contact angles is analyzed and optimized following the guidelines provided by the constructal theory to reach to the maximum heat removal rate. This investigation is performed analytically and numerically. Based on the obtained results, it is emerged that this optimization is independent of the number and the type of the arrangement of the microchannels. It is also observed that increasing the pressure drop through the triangular m… Show more
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.
