Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Minichannels and Microchannels

By Satish Kandlikar, Srinivas Garimella, Dongqing Li and 2 more

Heat exchangers with minichannel and microchannel flow passages are becoming increasingly popular because of their ability to remove large heat fluxes under single-phase and two-phase applications. Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Minichannels and Microchannels serves as a sourcebook for those individuals involved in the design processes of microchannel flow passages in a heat exchanger.

• This book manages to present its findings in a manner that is directly useful to a designer, while a researcher is able to use the information in developing new models, or in identifying research needs
• Each chapter is accompanied by a ‘real life' case study
• First book published solely dealing with heat and fluid flow in minichannels and microchannels

• Language: English
