Currently, the thermal management of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has become a challenge. In the present research, a micro pulsating heat pipe (MPHP) with a hydraulic diameter of 508 μm, is experimented. The thermal performance of the MPHP in both the transient and steady conditions, the effects of the working fluid (water, silver nanofluid, and ferrofluid), heating power (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 W), charging ratio (20, 40, 60, and 80%), inclination angle (0 deg, 25 deg, 45 deg, 75 deg, and 90 deg relative to horizontal axis), and the application of magnetic field, are investigated and thoroughly discussed. The experimental results show that the optimum charging ratio for water is 40%, while this optimum for nanofluids is 60%. In most of situations, the nanofluid charged MPHPs have a lower thermal resistance relative to the water charged ones. For ferrofluid charged MPHP, the application of a magnetic field substantially reduces the thermal resistance. This study proposes an outstanding technique for the thermal management of electronics.
