Heat transfer and pressure drop in fractal tree-like microchannel nets

Abstract Inspired by the fractal pattern of mammalian circulatory and respiratory systems, a new design of fractal branching channel net for cooling of electronic chips is studied in this paper. A comparison of the new design with the traditional parallel net shows that the new fractal branching channel net has a stronger heat transfer capability and requires a lower pumping power.
