The purpose of this paper is to optimize the structural sizes of multi-layer rectangle micro-channel heat sink, which has been widely used to cool electronic chip for its high heat transfer coefficient and compact structure. Taking the thermal resistance and the pressure drop as goal functions, a binary-objective optimization model was proposed for the multi-layer rectangle micro-channel heat sink based on Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method. The number of optimized micro-channel in width n1 and that in height n2 are 21 and 7, the width of optimized micro-channel Wc and fin Wf are 340 and 130μm, the height of optimized micro-channel Hc is 415μm, and the corresponding total thermal resistance of the whole micro-channel heat sink is 1.3354 °C/W. The corresponding pressure drop is about 1.3377 Pa. When the velocity of liquid is larger than 0.3 m/s, the effect of change of velocity of liquid on the thermal resistance and pressure drop can be neglected.

The configuration sizes of multi-layer rectangle micro-channel heat sink are optimized, which has been widely used to cool electronic chip for its high heat transfer coefficient and compact structure. Taking the thermal resistance and the pressure drop as goal functions, a binary-objective optimization model was proposed for the multi-layer rectangle micro-channel heat sink based on Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method. The number of optimized micro-channel in width n1 and that in height n2 are 24 and 3, the width of optimized micro-channel Wc and fin Wf are 360 and 55μm, the height of optimized micro-channel Hc is 1000μm, and the corresponding total thermal resistance of the whole micro-channel heat sink is 1.5429 °C/W. The corresponding pressure drop is about 2.3454 Pa. When the velocity of liquid is larger than 0.3 m/s, the effect of change of velocity of liquid on the thermal resistance and pressure drop can be neglected.

The results of a study of a new and unique high-performance air-cooled impingement heat sink are presented. An extensive numerical investigation of the heat sink performance is conducted and is verified by experimental data. The study is relevant to cooling of high-power chips and modules in air-cooled environments and applies to workstations or mainframes. In the study, a rectangular jet impinges on a set of parallel fins and then turns into cross flow. The effects of the fin thickness, gap nozzle width and fin shape on the heat transfer and pressure drop are investigated. It is found that pressure drop is reduced by cutting the fins in the central impingement zone without sacrificing the heat transfer due to a reduction in the extent of the stagnant zone. A combination of fin thicknesses of the order of 0.5 mm and channel gaps of 0.8 mm with appropriate central cutout yielded heat transfer coefficients over 1500 W/m2 K at a pressure drop of less than 100 N/m2, as is typically available in high-end workstations. A detailed study of flow-through heat sinks subject to the same constraints as the impingement heat sink showed that the flow-through heat sink could not achieve the high heat transfer coefficients at a low pressure drop.

This paper investigates the performance and characteristics of saw tooth shape micro channel in the theoretical level. If the conduct area of the nano fluid increases the heat transfer also increases. The performance curve has drawn Reynolds number against nusselt number, heat transfer co efficient. Pressure drop plays an important role in this device. If pressure drop is high the heat transfer increases. The result in this experiment shows clearly that the heat transfer is optimized.

It Industry

With the rapid development of the Information Technology (IT) industry, the heat flux in integrated circuit (IC) chips cooled by air has almost reached its limit at about 100W∕cm2. Some applications in high technology industries require heat fluxes well beyond such a limitation. Therefore, the search for a more efficient cooling technology becomes one of the bottleneck problems of the further development of the IT industry. The microchannel flow geometry offers a large surface area of heat transfer and a high convective heat transfer coefficient. However, it has been hard to implement because of its very high pressure head required to pump the coolant fluid through the channels. A normal channel size could not give high heat flux, although the pressure drop is very small. A minichannel can be used in a heat sink with quite a high heat flux and a mild pressure loss. A minichannel heat sink with bottom size of 20mm×20mm is analyzed numerically for the single-phase turbulent flow of water as a coolant through small hydraulic diameters. A constant heat flux boundary condition is assumed. The effect of channel dimensions, channel wall thickness, bottom thickness, and inlet velocity on the pressure drop, temperature difference, and maximum allowable heat flux are presented. The results indicate that a narrow and deep channel with thin bottom thickness and relatively thin channel wall thickness results in improved heat transfer performance with a relatively high but acceptable pressure drop. A nearly optimized structure of heat sink is found that can cool a chip with heat flux of 350W∕cm2 at a pumping power of 0.314W.

In recent years, researchers are investigating several potential applications of two-phase flow in micro-gap heat sinks; electronic cooling is one of them. Further, internal micro-fins are used to enhance the heat transfer rate. However, the pressure drop penalty due to small gap height and fin surfaces is a major concern. Hence, minimization of thermal resistance and pressure drop is required. In this paper, effects of operating conditions, e.g., wall heat flux, pumping power, and inlet void fraction, on total thermal resistance and pressure drop in a micro-gap heat sink with internal micro-fins of rectangular and triangular profiles have been investigated by numerical analysis for the R-134a coolant. Furthermore, optimization of these parameters has been carried out by response surface methodology. Simulation results show that rectangular micro-fins show superior performance compared to triangular fins in reducing thermal resistance. Finally, for an optimum condition (7.1202×10-5 W pumping power, 1.2×107 Wm-2 heat flux, and 0.03 inlet void fraction), thermal resistance and pressure drop are reduced by 56.3% and 87.2%, respectively.

A model of boiling heat transfer system was established by introducing disjoining pressure produced by three phase molecular interactions and Lie algebra analysis for a developed bubble in micro channel and simulation of chaotic movement of the obtained interface dynamic system was carried out in this paper. Experiments for 0.6 mm2 mm rectangular micro channel were carried out to obtain the pressure time serials. Power spectrum density analysis for this serials shows that the system is in chaotic state if the frequency is above 7.39Hz.The result indicates that high heat transfer performance of micro channel phase change system may relate to the characteristics of chaos.
