..., it was reported in previous works that in the low Reynolds number regime there are no remarkable differences in the thermal performance of a straight-plate and a wavy-wall channel. In this study, the constructal theory is applied to optimize the geometry of wavy-wall channels of an electronic heat sink, where...

... of forced convection of air in laminar flow. The study parameters were two fin shapes, four modules (shapes), and four duct geometries (depending on the parameter shape ratio, defined in Sec. 3 ). The approach chosen was that of Bejan’s Constructal theory numerically implemented by the finite element code...
