Experimental study of gaseous heat transfer in microchannels with integrated temperature sensors

To answer the need of experimental data for flows in microstructured devices, two different techniques for integrating temperature sensors in microchannels have been developed and characterized. The main feature of the proposed approach is the flexibility towards different applications. To validate the integrated systems, heat transfer of gases was chosen as study case. Different tests were undertaken to characterize the measuring systems and highlight the main features of each approach.
