A micro-channel heat sink is a promising cooling method for high power integrated circuits (IC). However, the understanding of such a micro-channel device is not sufficient, because the tools for studying it are very limited. The details inside the micro-channels are not readily available. In this letter, a micro-channel heat sink is comprehensively studied using the integrated temperature sens...

This study investigates the mixed convection flow of Jeffrey liquid by an impermeable inclined stretching cylinder. Thermal radiation and non-uniform heat source/sink are considered. The convective boundary conditions at surface are imposed. Nonlinear expressions of momentum, energy and concentration are transformed into dimensionless systems. Convergent homotopic solutions of the governing sys...

Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of local vapor quality on local heat transfer coefficient in flow boiling in an array of microchannels. Additionally, the variation of local heat transfer coefficient along the length and width of the microchannel heat sink for given operating conditions was investigated over a range of flow parameters. Each test piece includes a silicon par...

In this study, convection flow in microchannel heat sink with offset fan-shaped reentrant cavities in sidewall filled with Fe3O4-water is numerically investigated. The effects of changing some parameters such as Reynolds number and magnetic field are considered. The nanofluid flow is laminar, steady and incompressible, while the thermo-physical properties of nanoparticles were assumed constant....

This paper presents a UV (ultraviolet) lithography apparatus that utilizes an array composed of UV-LED (light emitting diode) collimation modules as a micro-patterning light source for PCB (printed circuit board) fabrication. To provide a uniform (non-uniformity > 90%) and collimated (FWHM < ±2°) exposure area, hexagonal light source modules are disposed in a hexagonal array. Each module is con...

Present study explores the effect of Hall current, non-linear radiation, irregular heat source/sink on magnetohydrodynamic flow of Casson nanofluid past a nonlinear stretching sheet. Viscous and Joule dissipation are incorporated in the energy equation. An accurate numerical solution of highly nonlinear partial differential equations, describing the flow, heat and mass transfer...
