Heat Convection in Micro Ducts

As the field of Microsystems expands into more disciplines and new applications such as RF-MEMS, Optical MEMS and Bio-MEMS, thermal management is becoming a critical issue in the operation of many microdevices, including microelectronic chips. Heat Convection in Micro Ducts focuses on the fundamental physics of convective heat transfer in microscale and specific applications such as: microchannel heat sinks, micro heat pipes, microcoolers and micro capillary pumped loops. This book will be of interest to the professional engineer and graduate student interested in learning about heat removal and temperature control in advanced integrated circuits and microelectromechanical systems.
