Heat Transfer Enhancement of Diamond Rib Mounted in Periodic Merging Chambers of Micro Channel Heat Sink [PDF]
The heat transfer enhancement of diamond-shaped ribs mounted in the periodic merging chambers of microchannel (MC) heat sinks is investigated using a numerical method for Reynolds number in the region of 300–700.
