Effects of Surface Wettability and Roughness on the Heat Transfer Performance of Fluid Flowing through Microchannels

The surface characteristics, such as wettability and roughness, play an important role in heat transfer performance in the field of microfluidic flow. In this paper, the process of a hot liquid flowing through a microchannel with cold walls, which possesses different surface wettabilities and micros...
