Abstract
In this paper heat transfer in single phase through micro-channels was studied. The validation of classical correlations of conventional channels to micro-channels is explored. It is found that classical approach is in good agreement with the experimental results of heat transfer in micro-channels .The material used for micro-channel heat sink (MCHS) is copper, experiments were conducted using water as cooling agent in this study. Micro-channels are made with the help of EDM machine on the upper surface of MCHS. Variation of heat transfer rates, effect of friction factor, effect of pressure drop and variation in temperature distribution is investigated in this study. It is observed in the study that with decrease in velocity flow friction also decreases.
