Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Minichannels and Microchannels, Third Edition presents a groundbreaking exploration of heat transfer and fluid flow in microscale passages, offering valuable insights for designers and researchers in the field. This comprehensive text delves into the fundamental mechanisms of single-phase and two-phase flows, providing a detailed analysis of novel enhancement techniques and numerical modeling approaches essential for efficient heat removal and thermal management. The book's table of contents delves into various critical topics, starting with an introduction to the need for smaller flow passages and basic heat transfer considerations. It further explores gas flows, liquid flow dynamics, flow boiling phenomena in minichannels and microchannels, numerical modeling of flow boiling, and an overview of changes in the 3rd edition. Each chapter offers a deep dive into the mechanisms and design considerations crucial for understanding heat and fluid flow at the microscale level. Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow in Minichannels and Microchannels, Third Edition serves as a sourcebook for engineers, researchers, and graduate students in mechanical engineering and thermal sciences studying microchannel flow passages. Professionals in microfluidics and educators teaching graduate-level courses in thermal engineering can benefit from the practical examples and real-life case studies presented in the book, making it an indispensable resource for those involved in the design and development of heat exchangers with minichannel and microchannel flow passages.
