Figure Legend:
Schematic diagram of experimental device. Compressed air was provided by air compressor and stored in a gas reservoir. Following two valves, the thermal mass flow meter was installed. Then the air flow through test section and the pressure of inlet and outlet manifolds were measured.

Figure Legend:
Schematic diagram of test section. The test pieces were sandwiched between up and down fixture. A pressure hole and a thermocouple hole were set close to the inlet of the channels; a pressure hole and five thermocouple holes were set by the outlet. Two holes in the top fixture were for thermocouples and the wires of the heating films.

Figure Legend:
Structure of the copper block and heat device. Considering that the heat conductivity coefficient of copper is high enough, lumped parameter method is suitable for this model to calculate heat flux. The temperature of the copper plate was regarded as uniform. The heating films were power by current heater. The heating film was bonded with copper plates by thermal conductive adhesive closely and covered by asbestos to decrease the heat dissipation. (a) Structure of the copper plate and (b) structure of the heating device. 1: asbestos, 2: heating film, and 3: copper plate.
