Results show that pin-fin shapes and the spacing between rows greatly affect the flow and heat transfer characteristics with pin-fin arrays. Results also show higher heat transfer than the short pin-fins in previous studies. With the increase of heat load, the heat transfer capacity of the channel decreases and the friction factor increases with the same Reynolds number.rn
