Also, with the intention of estimating the effectiveness of the header design, thermal and hydraulic performance of heatsinks with optimized headers were also compared with the performance of the heatsinks with conventional header designs.
The sensitivity of heat transfer performance to the fin-material fraction is higher than hydraulic performance does, but with respect to the fluid velocity and the aspect ratio of PFHS, the sensitivity of hydraulic performance is higher.
This paper analyzes the thermal hydraulic performance of channels with different cross sectional geometries, which were adopted by tightly packed fuel rods assembly for high breeding at operating pressure of PWR and BWR.
It has been observed that the combination of ribs and dimples resulted in higher heat transfer augmentation as well as higher thermal hydraulic performance when compared with ribs alone and dimples alone configurations for the range of Reynolds number studied.
Moreover, the thermal and hydraulic performance of the heatsink with proposed header geometries has been reported for different configurations of channel geometries.
This study presents the experimental thermal and hydraulic performance of heat sink with miniature circular pin fin structure using two different types of nanofluid as coolant.
Aim of this paper is to analyse the power and hydraulic performance of a floating Wave Energy Converter with the purpose at optimising its design for installation in arrays.
To account for thermal and hydraulic performance of channels between plates with different geometrical forms of corrugations, the exponents and coefficients in formulas for heat transfer coefficients and friction factors calculation are used as model parameters.

The results show that flow depth, ratio of fin pitch and fin thickness and the number of the louvers are the main factors that influence significantly the thermal hydraulic performance of the heat exchanger with corrugated louvered fins.
