Abstract
⺠We study experimentally the effect of tip clearance height on in micro channel based heat sinks. ⺠The effects that are studied are heat transfer and pressure drop. ⺠We find that tip clearance reduces heat transfer slightly and pressure drop significantly. ⺠The effect becomes more important at lower Reynolds numbers. ⺠The findings can be used to optimize thermal control systems in engineering applications.
