Flow boiling is a widely preferred cooling technique in the recent era due to its high heat flux removal capacity as it involves latent heat interaction with constant surface temperature. The microchannel heat sinks can meet the thermal challenges in the next-generation electronic systems and seem to be a promising solution because microchannel heat sinks have capabilities like a high surface area to volume ratio and reduced fluid inventory requirement. However, microchannel heat sinks come with challenges such as flow instabilities and flow reversal.

The research interests are as follows :

• Characterization of flow boiling instabilities in the miniature channels

• Numerical studies of instability suppression technique

• Development of microchannel heat sink
