Numerical simulation of heat transfer enhancement in wavy microchannel heat sink

In this paper, heat transfer and water flow characteristics in wavy microchannel heat sink (WMCHS) with rectangular cross-section with various wavy amplitudes ranged from 125 to 500. ?m is numerically investigated. This investigation covers Reynolds number in the range of 100 to 1000. The three-dime...
