Microchannel heat sinks are very widely used due to their high transfer coefficients and low refrigerant requirements. Nevertheless, microchannel still perform sub-optimally when it comes thermal performance. Therefore, this paper investigates the individual combined impacts of different characteristics porous media on performance microchannel. Four porosity values considered: 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0...

Two new integrated models with heat source–heat sink are established, in which isothermal liquid cooling channels triangle or square sections are, respectively, embedded a cylindrical heating body uniform production. Based on constructal theory, under the conditions of fixed cylinder cross-sectional area and proportion channels, taking dimensionless maximum temperature entransy equivalent therm...

The foremost difficulty in making the transition to mass customization is how to offer product variety affordably. The answer to this quandary lies in the successful management of modularity and commonality in the development of products and their production processes. While several platform design techniques have emerged as a means to offer modularity and commonality, they are limited by an in...
