  • Abstract
    In this paper, the capability of a novel cooling system for microchannels based on the principle of electrowetting is examined. To start with, the electrowetting effect in microchannels is experimentally investigated. Next, based upon these results, the cooling capacity of the proposed system is theoretically investigated. It can be concluded that the proposed system is promising, especially when frequencies in the range of a few Hz can be achieved.
