Numerical study of laminar heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics in a water-cooled minichannel heat sink

The heat transfer characteristics of liquid cooling heat sink with micro pin fins

“…Among them liquid cooling with heat sinks containing mini/micro structures is a promising solution. During the past two decades, many efforts have been dedicated to heat transfer and flow performance of liquid cooling with micro/mini channels [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Comparatively, the performance of micro pin fins received less attention.…”

Study of Forced Convection of a Nanofluid Used as a Heat Carrier in a Microchannel Heat Sink

“…In some of these studies, such as Hetsroni et al [2], Lee and Garimella [3], experiments were made to analyze the friction and heat in microchannel heat sinks. In other studies, such as those by Gamrat et al [4] and Xie et al [5] the same characteristics have been analyzed numerically. Other researchers have used various numerical methods to study the characteristics of conjugate heat transfer, such as Aswang and al.…”

Thermoelectric cooling of electronic devices with nanofluid in a multiport minichannel heat exchanger

“…The improved cooling of 17.32% for Al 2 O 3 -water and 16.53% for TiO 2 -water were achieved. Xie et al [12] numerically investigated a minichannel heat sink with the bottom size of 20 mm  20 mm for pressure drop, thermal resistance and maximum allowable heat flux. A nearly optimized configuration of heat sink was found which can cool a chip with heat flux of 256 W/cm 2 at the pumping power of 0.205 W. Moraveji et al [13] numerically investigated the effect of nanoparticle volume fraction on the convective heat transfer coefficient of minichannel with 20  20 mm bottom.…”
