## Abstract Fluid flow behavior and heat transfer characteristics of pressure driven flow in partially heated microchannels have been investigated using the explicit Finite Volume Method (FVM). The developed flow solver utilizes the compressible NavierβStokes (NS) system of equations with Maxwell's

β¦ Synopsis
Numerical modeling of the conjugate heat transfer in microchannel heat sink is presented. As the most of the cooling applications deals with the partial heated sections, the influence of the heating position on the thermal and hydrodynamic behavior is analyzed. The laminar fluid flow regime and the water as a working fluid are considered. It is observed that partial heating together with variable viscosity has a strong influence on thermal and hydrodynamic characteristics of the micro-heat sink.
