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.

A series of experimental investigations on the studies related to transient- and steady-state cooling performance from the horizontally heated heat sinks with a confined slot jet impingement have been conducted. The relevant parameters influencing the transient convective cooling performance include the steady-state Grashof number, ratio of jet separation distance to nozzle width, ratio of heat sink height to nozzle width, and jet Reynolds number. The transient heat transfer behaviors such as the temperature distribution, local and average Nusselt numbers on the heated heat sinks have been systematically explored. Two empirical correlations of steady-state local and average Nusselt numbers are presented. Furthermore, a complete composite correlation of steady-state average Nusselt number for mixed convection due to jet impingement and buoyancy is proposed. This empirical correlation obtained by data regression is in good agreement with the experimental data. The maximum and average regression errors are 7.46% and 2.87%, respectively.

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.

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.

Abstract Solution verification is performed to quantify the numerical uncertainty of Nusselt numbers in micro-scale heat sinks obtained from 3-D numerical simulations. A numerical procedure is first developed to calculate local and average Nusselt numbers along 4 different miniature heat sinks. Validation process is performed by comparing the obtained numerical results experimental data. Fairly good agreement between numerical results and experimental data confirms the reliability and accuracy of the proposed numerical procedure. The observed order of accuracy for water flow in a micro-tube with constant uniform heat flux is 1.81 while the observed order of accuracy for conjugate heat transfer of water flow within a microchannel heat sink is estimated as 1.2. The numerical uncertainty for local Nusselt numbers within the investigated microchannel heat sink is estimated to be 0.13.

An effective method for predicting the optimal thermal performance of partially-confined compact heat sinks under multi-constraints of pressure drop and heat sink mass has been successfully developed. The design variables of PPF compact heat sinks include: heat sink fin and base material, thickness of heat sink base, heat flux, channel top bypass and inlet flow velocity. A total of 108 experimental cases for confined forced convection are designed by the Central Composite Design (CCD) method. According to the results in ANOVA, a sensitivity analysis for the design factors is performed. From the analysis, the effect of inlet flow velocity, which has the contribution percentage of 86.24%, dominates the thermal performance. The accuracies of the quadratic RSM models for both thermal resistance and pressure drop have been verified by comparing the predicted response values to the actual experimental data. The maximum deviations of thermal resistance and pressure drop are 9.41% and 7.20% respectively. The Response Surface Methodology is applied to establish analytical models of the thermal resistance and pressure drop constraints in terms of the key design factors with a CCD experimental design. By employing the Sequential Quadratic Programming technique, a series of constrained optimal designs can be efficiently performed. The numerical optimization results for four cases under different constraints are obtained, and the comparisons between these predicted optimal designs and those measured by the experimental data are made with a satisfactory agreement.

In this paper a numerical analysis of three-dimensional laminar flow through rectangular channel heat sinks of different geometric configuration is presented and a comparison of thermal performance among the heat sinks is discussed. Liquid water was used as coolant in the aluminum made heat sink with a glass cover above it. The aspect ratio (section height to width) of rectangular channels of the mini-channel heat sink was 0.33. A heat flux of 20 W/cm2 was continuously applied at the bottom of the channel with different inlet velocity for Reynold’s number ranging from 150 to 1044. Interconnectors and obstacles at different positions and numbers inside the channel were introduced in order to enhance the thermal performance. These modifications cause secondary flow between the parallel channels and the obstacles disrupt the boundary layer formation of the flow inside the channel which leads to the increase in heat transfer rate. Finally, Nusselt number, overall thermal resistance and maximum temperature of the heat sink were calculated to compare the performances of the modified heat sinks with the conventional mini channel heat sink and it was observed that the heat sink with both interconnectors and obstacles enhanced the thermal performance more significantly than other configurations. A maximum of 36% increase in Nusselt number was observed (for Re =1044).

An experimental study on thermal-hydraulic performance of de-ionized water over a bank of shrouded NACA 66-021 hydrofoil micro pin fins with wetted perimeter of 1030-μm and chord thickness of 100 μm has been performed. Average heat transfer coefficients have been obtained over effective heat fluxes ranging from 4.0 to 308 W/cm2 and mass velocities from 134 to 6600 kg/m2s. The experimental data is reduced to the Nusselt numbers, Reynolds numbers, total thermal resistances, and friction factors in order to determine the thermal-hydraulic performance of the heat sink. It has been found that prodigious hydrodynamic improvement can be obtained with the hydrofoil-based micro pin fin heat sink compared to the circular pin fin device. Fluid flow over pin fin heat sinks comprised from hydrofoils yielded radically lower thermal resistances than circular pin fins for a similar pressure drop.

Abstract 3-D numerical simulations are performed to investigate liquid sodium (Na) flow and the heat transfer within miniature heat sinks with different geometries and hydraulic diameters of less than 5 mm. Two different straight small-scale heat sinks with rectangular and triangular cross-sections are studied in the laminar flow with the Reynolds number up to 1900. The local and average Nusselt numbers are obtained and compared against eachother. At the same surface area to volume ratio, rectangular minichannel heat sink leads to almost 280% higher convective heat transfer rate in comparison with triangular heat sink. It is observed that the difference between thermal efficiencies of rectangular and triangular minichannel heat sinks was independent of flow Reynolds number.

Impingement cooling of plate fin heat sinks is examined. Experimental measurements of thermal performance were performed with four heat sinks of various impingement inlet widths, fin spacings, fin heights, and airflow velocities. The percent uncertainty in the measured thermal resistance was a maximum of 2.6% in the validation tests. Using a simple thermal resistance model based on developing laminar flow in rectangular channels, the actual mean heat transfer coefficients are obtained in order to develop a simple heat transfer model for the impingement plate fin heat sink system. The experimental results are combined into a dimensionless correlation for channel average Nusselt number Nu∼f(L*,Pr). We use a dimensionless thermal developing flow length, L*=(L∕2)∕(DhRePr), as the independent parameter. Results show that Nu∼1∕L*, similar to developing flow in parallel channels. The heat transfer model covers the practical operating range of most heat sinks, 0.01<L*<0.18. The accuracy of the heat transfer model was found to be within 11% of the experimental data taken on four heat sinks and other experimental data from the published literature at channel Reynolds numbers less than 1200. The proposed heat transfer model may be used to predict the thermal performance of impingement air cooled plate fin heat sinks for design purposes.
