The hydrothermal performance of the microchannel heat sinks with different pin fins (PF-MCHS) is studied experimentally and numerically. Five fins, namely rectangular fin (RPF), backward triangular (BTPF), forward (FTPF), diamond (DPF) ellipsoidal (EPR) are integrated in for enhancing transfer. results show that PF-MCHSs possess 51.8-94.8% higher average Nusselt number than conventional (CMC) without which indicates these all can cause significant enhancement microchannels. Among finned...
