• Microchannel heat sinks are modelled by conjugate transfer and laminar flow CFD. Four performance enhancement tape inserts tested individually combined. Tape axial twist improves the Nusselt number gains to hydraulic loss trade-off. With best heated base is 16 ℃ cooler at 100 W/cm 2 flux input. Sealing in barrel prevents tip leakage raises conduction. The continuous power increase miniaturiza...

Energy is one of the primary foundations supporting evolutionary changes. Heat transfer improved by increasing surface area density and/or changing base fluid characteristics. Because its small size and heat properties, nanofluid cooled microchannel sinks (MCHS) have lately become a popular choice for electronics thermal applications. The influence employing nanofluids cooling chip was investig...

Flow boiling of the perfluorinated dielectric fluid FC-77 in a silicon microchannel heat sink is investigated. The heat sink contains 60 parallel microchannels each of 100 m width and 389 m depth. Twenty-five evenly distributed temperature sensors in the substrate yield local heat transfer coefficients. The pressure drop across the channels is also measured. Experiments are conducted at five ...

This study numerically investigated heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a novel cylindrical heat sink with helical minichannels for the laminar flow of fluid with temperature-dependent properties. A finite volume method was employed to obtain the solution of governing equations. The effects of helical angle, channel aspect ratio, and Reynolds number, which were regarded as main para...
