This book offers the latest research and recommended models on the microsize cooling system which not only significantly reduces the weight load, but also enhances the capability to remove much greater amount of heat than any of large scale cooling systems.
A detailed reference in microchannel phase change (boiling and condensation) including recommended models and correlations for various requirements such as pressure loss, and heat transfer coefficient.
Researchers, engineers, designers and students will benefit from the collated, state-of-the-art of the research put together in this book and its systematic, addressing all the relevant issues and providing a good reference for solving problems of critical analysis.
- Up-to-date information will help delineate further research direction in the microchannel heat transfer
- The latest modeling information and recommendations will help in design method and purpose
Engineers, Researchers, Designers, Students; Could be used as a reference in graduate-level or PhD studies
