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.
