Resumo
Continued miniaturization and demand for high-end performance of electronic devices and appliances have led\nto dramatic increase in their heat flux generation. Consequently, conventional coolants and cooling approaches\nare increasingly falling short in meeting the ever-increasing cooling needs and challenges of those high heat\ngenerating electronic devices. This study provides a critical review of traditional and emerging cooling methods\nas well as coolants for electronics. In addition to summarizing traditional coolants, heat transfer properties and\nperformances of potential new coolants such as nanofluids are also reviewed and analyzed. With superior\nthermal properties and numerous benefits nanofluids show great promises in fulfilling the cooling demands of\nhigh heat generating electronic devices. It is believed that applications of such novel coolants in emerging\ntechniques like micro-channels and micro-heat pipes can revolutionize cooling technologies for electronics in\nthe future.
