In this paper the effect of surface roughness on the performance of counter flow microchannel heat exchanger has been numerically investigated. The studied Microchannel heat exchanger is a square shape and made of aluminum as substrate material with different values of hydraulic diameters (20, 50, 110, 150 ) μm. The working fluid used is water  at constant properties. Roughness- viscosity model has been used to study the roughness effect with 0.14 ratio of roughness to hydraulic diameter.  The results obtained indicate that pressure drop of (CFMCHX) increased with increasing surface roughness and decrease hydraulic diameter also the results showed that there is a slight increasing in thermal performance with increasing the surface roughness.

Microchannel heat exchangers using two-phase convective boiling is one of the most promising future technologies for the cooling of microprocessors. Heat generation on microprocessors is highly non-uniform due to the presence of multiple time-varying localized hotspots. Previous literature has primarily been focused on the performance of microchannels under uniform heating conditions. In this paper we report the performance of microchannel heat exchanger under both uniform and hotspot (non-uniform) heating conditions. We performed these experiments using a novel test setup where the test chip has multiple temperature sensors, one heater to provide uniform heating and a hotspot heater of size 400 μm × 400 μm. We report some of the preliminary results on the thermal performance of the heat exchanger. Results show that fluctuation in the wall temperature is different under hotspot heating conditions as compared to the uniform heating conditions.   This paper was also originally published as part of the Proceedings of the ASME 2005 Heat Transfer Summer Conference.
