... increase. Traditional air-cooling approaches usually provide insufficient performance or require heavy and bulky heat sinks to achieve adequate thermal management. To address this problem, a novel air cooled vertically enhanced manifold microchannel system (VEMMS) was developed. While minimizing...

.... 01 04 2012 28 09 2012 The objective of this effort is to pursue artificial microscale surface roughness features in the form of dimples, on the walls of an air-cooled heat sink channel, as a passive option to energy-efficiently augment heat transfer in forced convection flows. High...
