Thermal performance of a water cooled multistack microchannel heat sink with counterflow arrangement has been analyzed using the finite element method. Performance parameters such as thermal resistance, pressure drop, and pumping power are computed for a typical counterflow heat sink with different number of stacks. The temperature distribution in a typical multistack counterflow microchannel heat sink is obtained for different numbers of stacks and plotted along the channel length. A parametric study involving the effects of number of stacks and channel aspect ratio on thermal resistance and pressure drop of the heat sink is done. The finite element model developed for the analysis is simple and consumes less computational time.
