This dissertation presents an experimental investigation and numerical simulations of fluid flow and heat transfer in microchannels to study the effects of surface-dominated, non-continuum, multi-scale and multi-physics effects. The experimental study is on the effects of rib-pa…

Thermal analyses of one-, two- and three-layered micro-channels have been carried out. Seven types of micro-channels have been identified based on all the possible types of flow directions. Finite element method (FEM) is used to discretise the domain into nodes and elements, and…
