Manifold microchannels

One-dimensional model of MMC enabling an accurate prediction of the thermal performance and the flow non-uniformity

Thermal-hydraulic modeling work for manifold microchannels (MMC) is now published in International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer. This work accounts for the effect of non-uniform flow distribution on the thermal performance of MMC for the first time. We are looking forward to various derivative works based on the proposed one-dimensional model.

This material was presented in 2024 KSME TED. The one-dimensional model which takes into account the effects of non-uniform flow distribution on the thermal performance of manifold microchannels is newly developed. This model enables accurate prediction of thermal performance and flow non-uniformity of MMC.
