Heat Removal by Microcoolers

International Conference at KIT Focuses on Optimization of Flows and Reactions on Small Scales
When a cross section narrows, other laws apply. Gas and liquid flows in a large pipeline differ from those in a fine tubelet. With increasing miniaturization, this fact has to be considered when designing chemical catalysts and medical tests, when folding proteins in cells and cooling microchips in mobile phones. At the Microfluidics Conference that will start on December 3, leading experts will meet to discuss these issues. Representatives of the media are cordially invited and kindly asked to register using the form enclosed.
