Theoretical Aspects on Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Micro Channels

Abstract

The past ten years have seen a lot of research on the issues of heat transfer and fluid flow in micro-channels. With an emphasis on upcoming research requirements, a critical analysis of the state of research as it stands is offered. Following a brief introduction, the study discusses six themes related to transport phenomena in micro-channels: condensation, cooling of electronics, single-phase gas flow, augmentation of single-phase liquid flow and flow boiling, and micro-scale heat exchangers. In this study, we investigate the three-dimensional heat transfer and water flow properties in a set of rectangular micro-channel heat sinks for advanced electronic systems. Over the past ten years, mini/micro channel type compact heat exchangers have received a lot of attention. The ability to make heat exchangers smaller, lighter, and cheaper than those in use now is the primary motivator. Additionally, emerging applications that call for the cooling of small things, such electronics and micro-electro-mechanical devices, need for heat exchangers with tiny channels. Theoretically, it is examined how a nanofluid moves and transfers heat through a horizontal micro channel while being affected by a magnetic field and an electric double layer (EDL). The flow problem for a micro channel with a large aspect ratio is handled as a two-dimensional nonlinear system. The magnetic field and EDL body force are taken into account while calculating momentum equation
