... transfer flexible plate seals thermal expansion electronic cooling MEMS Various engineering applications utilize fluidic thin films as cooling devices, such as heat pipes ( 1 2 3 ) and microchannel heat sinks ( 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ). These devices are widely used in electronic cooling...

...A.-R. A. Khaled Heat transfer inside flexible thin-film channels having nonuniform height distributions is analyzed in this work. The terminology “flexible thin film channel” is referred to a thin-film channel having two plates separated by soft elastic seals. The fluidic volume enclosed between...

...A.-R. A. Khaled; K. Vafai Flow and heat transfer inside thin films supported by flexible soft seals having voids of a stagnant fluid possessing a large coefficient of volumetric thermal expansion β T are studied in the presence of suspended ultrafine particles. The study is conducted under...
