Different heat transfer enhancers are reviewed. They are (a) fins and microfins,(b) porous
media,(c) large particles suspensions,(d) nanofluids,(e) phase‐change devices,(f) flexible …

A detailed investigation of the forced convective cooling of a heated obstacle mounted upon
a channel wall is presented. The Navier-Stokes equations are used to characterize the flow …

The present work details the numerical simulation of forced convective, incompressible flow
in a channel with an array of heated obstacles attached to one wall. Three levels of Nusselt …

Surface roughness is present in most of the microfluidic devices due to the microfabrication
techniques or particle adhesion. It is highly desirable to understand the roughness effect on …

The interaction between nanofluids and porous structured heat sinks is not well
documented. In addition, the micro-miniaturization of electronic components has led to an …

The book contains research results obtained by applying Bejan's Constructal Theory to the
study and therefore the optimization of fins, focusing on T-shaped and Y-shaped ones. Heat …

An experimental investigation of the forced convective heat transfer of individual and arrays
of multiple two-dimensional obstacles is reported. The airflow rate was varied from 800≤ …

A numerical investigation of convective heat transfer between a fluid and three physical
obstacles (blocks) mounted on the lower wall (2 blocks) and on the upper wall (1 block) of a …

The microminiaturization of electronic components has led to an increase in the heat
dissipation rate (per unit area) of electronic chips. This paper presents the results of an …

This experimental work investigated the heat transfer characteristics of rectangular channels
equipped with a flexible flag vortex generator (FFVGs) and a rigid flag vortex generator …
