A CFD analysis of the performance of pin-fin laminar flow micro/meso scale heat exchangers

A full three dimensional computational study was carried out using a finite-volume based solver for analyzing the performance of pin-fin based micro/meso scale heat exchangers with air as the working fluid. A staggered arrangement of cylindrical pin fins in rectangular channel geometry was used. V...
