Micro-channel heat sinks (MCHS) have attracted the attention of researchers because of their compact design and wide range of applications. MCHS is mostly used to dissipate heat where large amount of heat is generated in a confined space. In this work, leaf pattern MCHS is fabricated on pure copper...
