Microchannel-based heat sinks have found themselves efficient in the thermal management of microelectronics and power electronics. They may have huge variablities in terms of geometrical constructs, fluid used, and other inherent properties.

Where geometrical property variation may necessitate in-depth studies to obtain the most efficient configuration, different fluids like nanofluids of different concentrations are another important recent development that should be studied more carefully.

This model is inspired by tree structures. As each branch distributes food and water within several branches efficiently, our fluid channel system supplies fluid in several branches which may enhance heat transfer within the system. This type of plate may find applications in electronic chip cooling and other heat transfer applications.

A larger scale model is being developed to be used in building tiles so that the building can be more energy efficient, especially in a hot summer day.
