It is found that the overall characteristics are considerably improved by the inlet guide vanes. Furthermore,a suitable choice of design factor for the gap has been suggested.展开更多

These equations take the conduction in microchannel wb along the direction of flow of coolants into account, which are more generalized than those which neglect the conduction. For the same reason, they are suitable particularly for gases-cooled microchannels.With only numerical solution to the equations till today, an approximate analytic solution is derived here. From this solution, a rather simple formula can be introduced bober, by which the differences between considering the conduction and neglecting it are easily found. In addition, the rcasonableness of the classical fin method is also discussed. An experimental example of air-cooled microchannels is illustrated.展开更多
