Forced two-phase cooling is investigated for handling high power electronics and laser applications having high heat flux and isothermality requirements. Experimental results are reported for minichannel heat sinks with and without enhanced boiling coatings showing increased heat transfer coefficients and higher critical heat flux for coated versus uncoated surfaces.
