A critical assessment on evaporative cooling performance of micro finned micro gap for high heat flux applications

Micro gap heat sinks reduce flow boiling instabilities and generate more uniform surface temperature than typical microchannels. Heat transfer rate in micro gaps can be increased by providing micro fins. Micro fins increase surface area as well as generate turbulence, which disturbs the laminar sub-...
