Transport in Mesoscale Cooling Systems Available to Purchase

The growing trend towards miniaturization and increasing functionality of microelectronics systems has driven the search for novel microfluidic technologies for cooling, which span a range of length and time scales. Fluid and heat transport associated with single- and two-phase microchannel transport and micropumping, as well as miniature piezoelectric fans for fluidic actuation, is discussed and fundamental issues in understanding these cooling approaches identified.
