Optimization of forced convection heat sinks with pumping power requirements

In this paper we address the optimization of a heat sink formed by parallel circular or non-circular ducts in a finite volume. The flow is considered to be laminar and steady and the fluid properties are assumed to be constant. Results for optimum dimensionless thermal length, optimum hydraulic diam...
