Single-phase Convective Heat Transfer in Microchannels: a Review of Experimental Results

TL;DR: In this article, a bibliographical review on the convective heat transfer through microchannels is presented, highlighting the main results obtained on the friction factor, on the laminar-to-turbulent transition and on the Nusselt number in channels having a hydraulic diameter less than 1 mm.

Heat transfer for water flow in trapezoidal silicon microchannels

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated heat transfer characteristics of water flowing through trapezoidal silicon microchannels with a hydraulic diameter ranging from 62 to 169 μm and found that the measured lower Nusselt numbers may be due to the effects of surface roughness of the microchannel walls.

Pressure-driven water flows in trapezoidal silicon microchannels

TL;DR: In this paper, a roughness-viscosity model was proposed to interpret the experimental data and showed that pressure gradient and flow friction in microchannels are higher than those given by the conventional laminar flow theory.

Heat-transfer microstructures for integrated circuits

TL;DR: In this paper, a liquid partially fills an array of micron-wide repentant capillaries in the heat sink substrate, so that surface tension holds the polished back of an IC in intimate thermal contact with the sink.

An Analytical Study of the Effects of Surface Roughness on Boundary-Layer Transition

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of surface roughness on the transition of a laminar boundary layer are investigated, which can distort the mean velocity and temperature profiles thus altering the stability characteristics of the layer and induce additional disturbances to the boundary layer which may lead to an earlier transition.
