It is common to use micro-channel heat sinks (MCHSs) in equipment such as; ICs, transistors, LEDs, and high-power lasers, which generate heat due to the passage of electric current. This heat is often a menace to harm these devices and their internal parts. For this reason, heat rejection in the MCH...
