Friction factor and heat transfer in multiple microchannels with uniform flow distribution

Abstract Predictions of flow and heat transfer in microchannels are ongoing issues in microfludics. This work focused on laminar flow (69  Re Nu /( Re 0.62 Pr 0.33 ) and Brinkman number confined to the experimental range. The correlation is expected to be useful to design the microchannel devices related to heat transfer.
