Three-dimensional (3D) stacked integrated circuit (IC) chips offer significant performance improvement, but offer important challenges for thermal management including, for the case of microfluidic cooling, constraints on channel dimensions, and pressure drop. Here, we investigate heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of a microfluidic cooling device with staggered pin-fin array arrangement with dimensions as follows: diameter D = 46.5 μm; spacing, S ∼ 100 μm; and height, H ∼ 110 μm. Deionized single-phase water with mass flow rates of m˙ = 15.1–64.1 g/min was used as the working fluid, corresponding to values of Re (based on pin fin diameter) from 23 to 135, where heat fluxes up to 141 W/cm2 are removed. The measurements yield local Nusselt numbers that vary little along the heated channel length and values for both the Nu and the friction factor do not agree well with most data for pin fin geometries in the literature. Two new correlations for the average Nusselt number (∼Re1.04) and Fanning friction factor (∼Re−0.52) are proposed that capture the heat transfer and pressure drop behavior for the geometric and operating conditions tested in this study with mean absolute error (MAE) of 4.9% and 1.7%, respectively. The work shows that a more comprehensive investigation is required on thermofluidic characterization of pin fin arrays with channel heights Hf < 150 μm and fin spacing S = 50–500 μm, respectively, with the Reynolds number, Re < 300.

Single Phase Flow

An experimental investigation is carried out to study the heat transfer and pressure drop in the single-phase flow of water in a microchannel. The effect of dissolved gases on heat transfer and pressure drop is studied as the wall temperature approaches the saturation temperature of water, causing air and water vapor mixture to form bubbles on the heater surface. A set of six parallel microchannels, each approximately 200 micrometers square in cross section and fabricated in copper, with a hydraulic diameter of 207 micrometers, is used as the test section. Starting with air-saturated water at atmospheric pressure and temperature, the air content in the water is varied by vigorously boiling the water at elevated saturation pressures to provide different levels of dissolved air concentrations. The single-phase friction factor and heat transfer results are presented and compared with the available theoretical values. The friction factors for adiabatic cases match closely with the laminar single-phase friction factor predictions available for conventional-sized channels. The diabatic friction factor, after applying the correction for temperature dependent properties, also agrees well with the theoretical predictions. The Nusselt numbers, after applying the property corrections, are found to be below the theoretical values available in literature for constant temperature heating on all four sides. The disagreement is believed to be due to the three-sided heating employed in the current experiments. The effect of gas content on the heat transfer for the three gas concentrations is investigated. Nucleation was observed at a surface temperature of 90.5°C, for the reference case of 8.0 ppm. For the degassed cases (5.4 ppm and 1.8 ppm), nucleation is not observed until the surface temperature reached close to 100°C. An increase in heat transfer coefficient for surface temperatures above saturation is observed. However, a slight reduction in heat transfer is noted as the bubbles begin to nucleate. The presence of an attached bubble layer on the heating surface is believed to be responsible for this effect.

The continuum assumption has been widely accepted for single phase liquid flows in microchannels. There are however a number of publications which indicate considerable deviation in thermal and hydrodynamic performance during laminar flow in microchannels. In the present work, experiments have been performed on six parallel microchannels with varying cross-sectional dimensions. A careful assessment of friction factor and heat transfer in is carried out by properly accounting for flow area variations and the accompanying non-uniform flow distribution in individual channels. These factors seem to be responsible for the discrepancy in predicting friction factor and heat transfer using conventional theory.

Thermal Enhancement Factor

This experimental study deals with the heat transfer and friction effects of sinusoidal part turbulators for single-phase flows occurring in a circular shaped pipe. Turbulators with three different radius values are placed in the pipe to make the flow turbulent. In this way, changes in Nusselt number and friction coefficient are examined. As a result of the experiments made with Reynolds numbers in the range of 6614-20710, the increase rates of the Nusselt numbers of turbulators with 20 mm, 110 mm and 220 mm radius compared to the empty pipe were obtained as 153.49%, 85.36%, and 52.09%, respectively. As a result of the decrease in the radius, there was an increase in the Nusselt number and the friction factor. Parallel to the Nusselt number, the highest friction factor was obtained in the smallest radius turbulator. It was found that the thermal enhancement factors of 110 mm and 220 mm radius turbulators increased by 179.54% and 132.95%, respectively, compared to the 20 mm radius turbulator. Similarly, it was determined that the thermal enhancement factor of the 110 mm radius turbulator increased by 20% compared to the 220 mm radius turbulator.

The purpose of this study is to discover the differences of pressure drop and heat transfer of single-phase water flow between conventional channels and narrow rectangular channels. Furthermore, the differences between the level and the vertical channel have been studied. The gap of the test channel is 1.8mm. Compared with conventional channels, the narrow rectangular channel showed differences in both flow and heat transfer characteristics. The critical Reynolds number of transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow is 900∼1300, which is smaller compared with conventional channels. The friction factor is larger than that of the conventional channels and the correlation of friction factor with Reynolds number was given by experimental results. From the relation graph of Nusselt number and Reynolds number, the demarcation of the laminar flow region and turbulence flow region is obvious. In laminar region, Nusselt number almost remained constant and approximately consistent with numerical simulation results. While in turbulent region, Nusselt number increased significantly with increasing Reynolds number. A new Nusselt number correlation was obtained based on Dittus-Boelter equation, and the coefficients were less about 13% than that of Dittus-Boelter equation.

Heat Transfer Correlations

The pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a single-phase micropin-fin heat sink were investigated experimentally. Fabricated from 110 copper, the heat sink contained an array of 1950 staggered square micropin fins with 200×200μm2 cross section by 670μm height. The ratios of longitudinal pitch and transverse pitch to pin-fin equivalent diameter are equal to 2. De-ionized water was employed as the cooling liquid. A coolant inlet temperature of 25°C, and two heat flux levels, qeff″=50W∕cm2 and qeff″=100W∕cm2, defined relative to the platform area of the heat sink, were tested. The inlet Reynolds number ranged from 93 to 634 for qeff″=50W∕cm2, and from 127 to 634 for qeff″=100W∕cm2. The measured pressure drop and temperature distribution were used to evaluate average friction factor and local averaged heat transfer coefficient/Nusselt number. Predictions of the previous friction factor and heat transfer correlations that were developed for low Reynolds number (Re<1000) single-phase flow in short pin-fin arrays were compared to the present micropin-fin data. Moores and Joshi’s friction factor correlation (2003, “Effect of Tip Clearance on the Thermal and Hydrodynamic Performance of a Shrouded Pin Fin Array,” ASME J. Heat Transfer, 125, pp. 999–1006) was the only one that provided acceptable predictions. Predictions from the other friction factor and heat transfer correlations were significantly different from the experimental data collected in this study. These findings point to the need for further fundamental study of single-phase thermal/fluid transport process in micropin-fin arrays for electronic cooling applications.

The pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a single-phase micro-pin-fin heat sink were investigated experimentally. Fabricated from 110 copper, the heat sink consisted of 1950 staggered micro-pins with 200×200 μm2 cross-section by 670 μm height. Deionized water was employed as the cooling liquid. A coolant inlet temperature of 25°C, and two heat flux levels, q" eff = 50 W/cm2 and q" eff = 100 W/cm2, defined relative to the planform area of the heat sink, were tested. The inlet Reynolds number ranged from 93 to 634 for q" eff = 50 W/cm2, and 127 to 634 for q" eff = 100 W/cm2. The measured pressure drop and temperature distribution were used to evaluate average friction factor and local averaged heat transfer coefficient/Nusselt number. Predictions of the Moores and Joshi friction factor correlation and the Chyu et al. heat transfer correlation that were developed using macro-size pin-fin arrays were compared to micro-pin-fin heat sink data. While the Moores and Joshi correlation provide acceptable predictions, the Chyu et al. correlation overpredicted local Nusselt number data by a fairly large margin. These findings point to the need for further study of single-phase thermal/fluid transport process in micro-pin-fin heat sinks.
