Yating Niu, Pingnan Huang, Minqiang Pan
Abstract
Abstract Bionic fractal microchannel plates are becoming popular because of their low pressure drop and high heat‐transfer efficiency. But there is still no systematic research on the heat and mass transfer mechanism of bionic fractal microchannel plates, which has limited their widespread use. A mathematical model of heat and mass transfer in bionic fractal microchannel plates is developed and the influences of their structural parameters on heat and mass transfer are evaluated. The results provide a systematic knowledge of bionic fractal microchannel plates which may help to guide their optimization for practical applications.
