Microchannels and minichannels - History, terminology, classification and current research needs
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2003-04)
Microchannels and Minichannels are found in many biological systems providing very high heat and mass transfer rates in organs such as the brain, lung, liver and kidney. Many high flux cooling applications are effectively ...
Extending the applicability of the flow boiling correlation to low Reynolds number flows in microchannels
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2003-04)
As microchannels are applied in flow boiling applications, it is
becoming apparent that the Reynolds number based on all
liquid flow could approach values below 100. The earlier work
by Kandlikar and Steinke (2002, 2003) ...
Flow boiling and pressure drop in parallel flow microchannels
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2003-04)
The use of microchannels for advanced heat transfer applications has quickly become commonplace. They are found in automotive applications, fuel cells, and even electronics cooling. However, there are fundamental issues ...
Examples of microchannel mass transfer processes in biological systems
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2003-04)
Heat and mass transfer processes become highly efficient as the channel hydraulic diameter is reduced in size. Biological systems, such as human body, rely on the extremely efficient transport processes occurring at ...
An Experimental investigation on flow boiling of ethylene-glycol / water mixtures
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2003-04)
Mixtures of ethylene glycol and water are used in cooling the engines in automotive applications. Heat is transferred essentially under subcooled flow boiling conditions as the mixture flows over the hot surfaces, which ...

Effect of surface roughness on heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics at low reynolds numbers in small diameter tubes
(Taylor & Francis, 2003)
The effect of surface roughness on pressure drop and heat transfer in circular tubes has been
extensively studied in literature. The pioneering work of Nikuradse [I] established the sand grain
roughness as a major parameter ...
