The thermal management of high-heat-density devices is essential for reliable operation. In this work, a novel procedure proposed and investigated the efficient such devices. introduces different arrangements metal inserts within cooling channel heat sink. objective those to form boundary layers prevent any hot spots from appearing flow increase temperature uniformity. Five are introduced numer...

Automotive HVAC systems manufacturers were the first to introduce microchannel condensers in the comfort airconditioning market. HVAC&R original equipment manufacturers have followed their lead and recently started using microchannel condensers in residential and commercial cooling and heat pump applications. These applications began less than a decade back and their number has been increasing ...

The book is not just another " pep talk " on The Kitchen Sink and How to Learn to Like It. Its stated purpose is "to discuss how the ingrained ideas which we have inherited, affect us, as women to-day, and to try to decide whether a woman ought to try to adapt herself to them, or whether it is the old pattern that wants adapting". It seems to be directed mainly to the wife and mother of young a...

A lot of work has documented the significance fluid flow uniformity on thermal-hydraulic performance microchannel heat sink (MCHS). The purpose this is to optimize shape inlet/outlet headers a MCHS improve distribution characteristics using back-propagation neural networks combined with genetic algorithm(GA-BP) as surrogate model. slanted edge inlet header defined quadratic parabola instead str...
