Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Minichannels and Microchannels / Edition 2

by Satish Kandlikar, Srinivas Garimella, Dongqing Li, Stephane Colin, Michael R. King

Overview

Heat exchangers with minichannel and microchannel flow passages are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to remove large heat fluxes under single-phase and two-phase applications.

Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Minichannels and Microchannels methodically covers gas, liquid, and electrokinetic flows, as well as flow boiling and condensation, in minichannel and microchannel applications. Examining biomedical applications as well, the book is an ideal reference for anyone involved in the design processes of microchannel flow passages in a heat exchanger.
