Abstract This study experimentally investigates single phase heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a shallow rectangular microchannel heat sink
whose surface is enhanced with copper nanowires (CuNWs). The hydraulic diameter of the channel is 672 μm and the bottom wall is coated with Cu
nanowires (CuNWs) of 200 nm in diameter and 50 μm in length. CuNWs are grown on the Cu heat sink by electrochemical synthesis technique
which is inexpensive and readily scalable. The heat transfer and pressure drop results of CuNWs enhanced heat sink are compared with that of bare
copper surface heat sink using deionized (DI) water… More >
