An effective method for performing the thermal optimization of stationary and rotating MCM disks with an unconfined round-jet impingement under space limitation constraint has been successfully developed. The design variables of stationary and rotating MCM disks with an unconfined round-jet impingement include: the ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter (H/d), steady-state Grashof number (Grs), jet Reynolds number (Rej), rotational Reynolds number (Rer). The total experimental cases for stationary and rotating MCM disks are statistically designed by the Central Composite Design (CCD) method. In addition, a sensitivity analysis, the so-called ANOVA, for the design factors has been performed. In the stationary MCM disk with an unconfined round-jet impingement, the contribution percentage of jet Reynolds number on the thermal performance is 95.86%. The effect of jet Reynolds numbers on chip temperature distribution is more significant than that of the H/d ratio and steady-state Grashof number. In rotating MCM disk with an unconfined round-jet impingement, the effect of jet Reynolds number, which has the contribution percentage of 91.81%, dominates the thermal performance. Furthermore, the comparisons between the predictions by using the quadratic Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and the experimental data are made. The maximum deviations for transient stagnation Nusselt number and transient average Nusselt number for the cases of stationary MCM disk are 10.05% and 11.82%, respectively; and 9.41% and 12.44% for the cases of rotating MCM disk, respectively. Finally, with the Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) technique, a series of thermal optimal designs under space limitation constraint H/d≤12 has been efficiently performed. Comparisons between the numerical optimization results and the experimental data are made with a satisfactory agreement.

An effective method for performing the thermal optimization of stationary and rotating multichip module (MCM) disks with an unconfined round-jet impingement under space limitation constraint has been successfully developed. The design variables of stationary and rotating MCM disks with an unconfined round-jet impingement include the ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter, Grashof number, jet Reynolds number, and rotational Reynolds number. The total experimental cases for stationary and rotating MCM disks are statistically designed by the central composite design method. In addition, a sensitivity analysis, the so-called analysis of variance, for the design factors has been performed. Among the influencing parameters, the jet Reynolds number dominates the thermal performance, while the Grashof number is found to have the least effect on heat-transfer performance for both stationary and rotating cases. Furthermore, the comparisons between the predictions by using the quadratic response surface methodology and the experimental data for both stationary and rotating cases are made with a satisfactory agreement. Finally, with the sequential quadratic programming technique, a series of thermal optimizations under multiconstraints—such as space, jet Reynolds number, rotational Reynolds number, nozzle exit velocity, disk rotational speed, and various power consumptions—has been systematically explored and discussed.

An effective method of design of experiments combined with Central Composite Design for exploring the heat transfer characteristics for a confined rotating Multi-Chip Module (MCM) disk with round jet array impingement has been successfully developed. The relevant parameters influencing heat transfer performance include the steady-state Grashof number (Grs), ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter (H/d), jet Reynolds number (Rej) and rotational Reynolds number (Rer). Their effects on heat transfer characteristics have been systematically explored. An axisymmetrical temperature distribution is ensured for various Grs, Rej, Rer and H/d ratios. As compared with the mutual effects of jet array impingement and disk rotation cause a more non-uniform distribution of chip temperatures. For heat transfer behavior, a new correlation of stagnation Nusselt number for jet array impingement at r/R = 0 in terms of Rej and H/d is presented. As compared with the experimental steady-state data of single round jet impingement, the average heat transfer enhancement at stagnation point r/R = 0 of jet array impingement is 607%. For the rotating MCM disk cases, the highest chip heat transfer occurs at the MCM disk rim, and decreases sharply along the distance from the surface edge toward the surface center.

A series of experimental investigations with stringent measurement methods on the studies related to mixed convection from the horizontally confined extended surfaces with a slot jet impingement have been successfully conducted. The relevant parameters influencing mixed convection performance due to jet impingement and buoyancy include the Grashof number, ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle width, ratio of extended surfaces height to nozzle width and jet Reynolds number. The range of these parameters studied are Grs = 3.77 × 105 – 1.84 × 106, H/W = 1–10, Hs/W = 0.74–3.40 and Re = 63–1383. In the study, the heat transfer behavior on the extended surfaces with confined slot jet impingement such as the temperature distribution, local and average Nusselt numbers on the extended surfaces has been systematically explored. The results manifest that the effect of steady-state Grashof number on heat transfer behavior such as stagnation, local and average Nusselt number is not significant; while the heat transfer performance increases with decreasing jet separation distance or with increasing extended surface height and jet Reynolds number. Besides, two new correlations of local and average Nusselt numbers in terms of H/W, Hs/W and Re are proposed for the cases of extended surfaces. A satisfactory agreement is achieved between the results predicted by these correlations and the experimental data. Finally, a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy is proposed. The comparison of the predictions evaluated by this correlation with all the present experimental data is made. The maximum and average deviations of the predictions from the experimental data are 7.46% and 2.87%, respectively.

A series of experimental investigations with stringent measurement methods on the studies related to fluid flow and transient mixed convection from a horizontally unconfined stationary or rotating ceramic-based MCM disk with unconfined jet impingement have been successfully conducted. The relevant parameters influencing fluid flow and heat transfer performance are (1) mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy: steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number, and ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter; and (2) mixed convection due to jet impingement, disk rotation and buoyancy: steady-state Grashof number, jet Reynolds number (Rej), rotational Reynolds number (Rer), ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle diameter (H/d). The thermal behavior explored includes the transient temperature distribution on the MCM disk surface, transient heat flux distribution of input power, transient convective heat flux distribution of chips, and transient chip and average heat transfer characteristics on the MCM disk surface. Besides, two new correlations of transient stagnation and average Nusselt numbers in terms of Rej, H/d and t are presented for the cases of stationary MCM disk. For the cases of rotating MCM disk, a new empirical correlation to classify two regimes of heat transfer modes such as disk rotation mode and jet impingement mode is presented; and a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement, disk rotation and buoyancy is proposed. As compared with the steady-state results, if the transient chip and average heat transfer behaviors may be considered as a superposition of a series of quasi-steady states, the transient chip and average Nusselt numbers in all the present transient experiments can be properly predicted by the existing steady-state correlations when t > 6 min in the power-on transient period.

An experimental investigation on the thermal performance of slot jet impinging onto fully-confined and partially-confined heat sinks with plain-plate fins (ppf) is presented. The relevant parameters influencing the convective cooling performance with slot jet impingement include the ratio of heat sink height to jet separation distance (Hs/H), ratio of heat sink height to nozzle width (Hs/Wj) and jet Reynolds number (Rej). The thermal performance of fully-confined ppf heat sinks (Hs/H=1) is experimentally investigated. Besides, an effective theoretical model based on a developing channel flow with an impinging effect is successfully proposed to predict the average Nusselt numbers of fully-confined ppf heat sinks. Furthermore, a new correlation of average Nusselt numbers in terms of Hs/Wj and Rej is proposed for the cases of fully-confined ppf heat sinks. For partially-confined cases, a normalized Nusselt number, [Equation]Nuj/[Equation]Nuj,Hs/H=1, is showed only dependent on Hs/H in the present study. A new correlation of [Equation]Nuj/[Equation]Nuj,Hs/H=1 in terms of Hs/H is proposed. This result manifests that the Nusselt numbers of partially-confined ppf heat sinks can properly be evaluated with the Nusselt numbers of fully-confined heat sinks and the normalized [Equation]Nuj/[Equation]Nuj,Hs/H=1 ratios. Finally, a generalized correlation of average Nusselt numbers in terms of Hs/H, Hs/Wj and Rej, which can be applied to both fully-confined and partially-confined heat sinks, is proposed. The maximum and average deviations between the correlations and the experimental data are 19.7% as well as 4.6%, respectively.

This study presents the effect of thermal radiation on the steady flow in a vertical micro channel filled with highly absorbing medium. The governing equations (mass, momentum and energy equation with Rosseland approximation and slip boundary condition) are solved analytically. The effects of thermal radiation parameter, the temperature parameter, Reynolds number, Grashof number, velocity slip length, and temperature jump on the velocity and temperature profiles, Nusselt number, and skin friction coefficient are investigated. Results show that the skin friction and the Nusselt number are increased with increase in Grashof number, velocity slip, and pressure gradient while temperature jump and Reynolds number have an adverse effect on them. Furthermore, a criterion for the flow unsteadiness based on the temperature parameter, thermal radiation parameter, and the temperature jump is presented.

An alternative to ribs for internal heat transfer enhancement of gas turbine airfoils is dimpled depressions. Relative to ribs, dimples incur a reduced pressure drop, which can increase the overall thermal performance of the channel. This experimental investigation measures detailed Nusselt number ratio distributions obtained from an array of V-shaped dimples (δ/D = 0.30). Although the V-shaped dimple array is derived from a traditional hemispherical dimple array, the V-shaped dimples are arranged in an in-line pattern. The resulting spacing of the V-shaped dimples is 3.2D in both the streamwise and spanwise directions. A single wide wall of a rectangular channel (AR = 3:1) is lined with V-shaped dimples. The channel Reynolds number ranges from 10,000–40,000. Detailed Nusselt number ratios are obtained using both a transient liquid crystal technique and a newly developed transient temperature sensitive paint (TSP) technique. Therefore, the TSP technique is not only validated against a baseline geometry (smooth channel), but it is also validated against a more established technique. Measurements indicate that the proposed V-shaped dimple design is a promising alternative to traditional ribs or hemispherical dimples. At lower Reynolds numbers, the V-shaped dimples display heat transfer and friction behavior similar to traditional dimples. However, as the Reynolds number increases to 30,000 and 40,000, secondary flows developed in the V-shaped concavities further enhance the heat transfer from the dimpled surface (similar to angled and V-shaped rib induced secondary flows). This additional enhancement is obtained with only a marginal increase in the pressure drop. Therefore, as the Reynolds number within the channel increases, the thermal performance also increases. While this trend has been confirmed with both the transient TSP and liquid crystal techniques, TSP is shown to have limited capabilities when acquiring highly resolved detailed heat transfer coefficient distributions.

Convective heat transfer enhancement and pressure loss characteristics in a wide rectangular channel (AR = 4) with staggered pin fin arrays are investigated experimentally. Six sets of pin fins with the same nominal diameter (Dn = 8mm) are tested, including: Circular, Elliptic, Oblong, Dropform, NACA and Lancet. The relative spanwise pitch (S/Dn = 2) and streamwise pitch (X/Dn = 4.5) are kept the same for all six sets. Same nominal diameter and arrangement guarantee the same blockage area in the channel for each set. Reynolds number based on channel hydraulic diameter is from 10000 to 70000 with an increment of 10000. Using thermochromic liquid crystal (R40C20W), heat transfer coefficients on bottom surface of the channel are achieved. The obtained friction factor, Nusselt number and overall thermal performance are compared with the previously published data from other groups. The averaged Nusselt number of Circular pin fins is the largest in these six pin fins under different Re. Though Elliptic has a moderate level of Nusselt number, its pressure loss is next to the lowest. Elliptic pin fins have pretty good overall thermal performance in the tested Reynolds number range. When Re>40000, Lancet has a same level of performance as Circular, but its pressure loss is much lower than Circular. These two types are both promising alternative configuration to Circular pin fin used in gas turbine blade.

In a variety of electronic systems, cooling of various components imposes a significant challenge. A major aspect that inhibits the performance of many cooling solutions is the thermal resistance between the chip package and the cooling structure. Due to its low thermal conductivity, the thermal interface material (TIM) layer imposes a significant thermal resistance on the chip to cooling fluid thermal path. Advanced cooling methods that bypass the TIM have shown great potential in research and some specialty applications, yet have not been adopted widely by industry due to challenges associated with practical implementation and economic constraints. One advanced cooling method that can bypass the TIM is jet impingement. The impingement cooling device investigated in the current study is external to the integrated circuit (IC) package and could be easily retrofitted onto any existing microchip, similar to a standard heatsink. Jet impingement cooling has proven effective in previous studies. However, it has been shown that jet-to-jet interference severely degrades thermal performance of an impinging jet array. The present research addresses this challenge by utilizing a flow path geometry that allows for withdrawal of the impinging fluid immediately adjacent to each jet in the array. In this study, a jet impingement cooling solution for high-performance ICs was developed and tested. The cooling device was fabricated using modern advanced manufacturing techniques and consisted of an array of micro-scale impinging jets. A second array of fluid return paths was overlain across the jet array to allow for direct fluid extraction in the immediate vicinity of each jet, and fluid return passages were oriented in parallel to the impinging jets. The following key geometric parameters were utilized in the device: jet diameter (D = 300μm), distance from jet to impinging surface (H/D = 2.5), spacing between jets (S/D = 8), spacing between fluid returns (Sr/D = 8), diameter of fluid returns (Dr/D = 5). The device was mounted to a 2cm × 2cm uniformly heated surface which produced up to 165W and the resulting fluid-to-surface temperature difference was measured at a variety of flow rates. For this study, the device was tested using single-phase water. Jet Reynolds number ranged from 300–1500 and an average heat transfer coefficient of 13,100 W m−2 K−1 was achieved at a Reynolds number of only Red = 305.

Abstract Heat transfer over rotating surfaces is of particular interest in rotating machinery such as gas turbine engines. The rotation of the gas turbine disc creates a radially outward flow on the disc surface, which may lead to ingress of hot gases into the narrow cavity between the disc and the stator. Impingement of cooling jet is an effective way of cooling the disc and countering the ingress of the hot gases. Present study focusses on investigating the effect of introducing pin-fins over the rotating disc on the heat transfer. The jet Reynolds number has been varied from 5000 to 18000, and the rotating Reynolds number has been varied from 5487 to 12803 for an aluminum disc of thickness 6.35mm and diameter 10.16 cm, over which square pins have been arranged in an inline fashion. Steady state temperature measurements have been taken using thermocouples embedded in the disc close to the target surface, and area average Nusselt number has been calculated. The effects of varying the height of the pin-fins, distance between nozzle and the disc surface and the inclination of the impinging jet with the axis of rotation have also been studied. The results have been compared with those for a smooth aluminum disc of equal dimensions and without any pin-fins. The average Nusselt number is significantly enhanced by the presence of pin fins. In the impingement dominant regime, where the effect of disc rotation is minimal for a smooth disc, the heat transfer increases with rotational speed in case of pin fins. The effect of inclination angle of the impinging jet is insignificant in the range explored in this paper (0° to 20°).
