Enhanced microscale heat transfer in macro geometries : effect of flow field by Siew, Dennis Weng Kin

“…The results concluded that the design with circular grooves attained the highest heat transfer coefficient of about 71.7 kW/m2·K in the flow channel, which is about 43.5% higher than the smooth flow channel. Besides, numerical studies on other designs also revealed that the designs with forward and backward sloping grooves are able to achieve comparably good heat transfer augmentation in the range of 10.6 to 33.1% higher. …”
