Optimization of a microchannel heat sink with temperature dependent fluid properties

Energy efficient hotspot-targeted embedded liquid cooling of electronics

“…Response surface method (RSM), a robust technique to reduce the computational cost for optimization [47][48][49][50], was used to achieve the optimal design. The overall optimization was performed in two steps.…”

Optimization of thermal resistance and bottom wall temperature uniformity for double-layered microchannel heat sink

“…When the heat flux reaches up to 100 W cm À2 , the conventional cooling technology is failed to meet the requirement of thermal removal as expected. Fortunately, the microchannel heat sink (MCHS) proposed by Tuckerman and Pease [1] in 1981 can endure a heat flux as high as 790 W cm À2 , which becomes a significant way for thermal management of microelectronic devices and attracts a great deal of attention [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

Comparison of the optimized thermal performance of square and circular ammonia-cooled microchannel heat sink with genetic algorithm

“…GA has been shown to be able to determine the optimized performance of a rectangular MCHS with textbook data as well experimental data [13]. Past optimization of the MCHS have been based on the experimental or/and numerical methods approach [14][15][16][17][18]. Unlike the limited optimization outcomes with experiments and numerical simulation with discrete variation of the parameter to be optimized under specific conditions, GA is particularly useful as a fast optimization tool in the exploration of the performance of potential coolants with acceptable patterns and trends when compared to the limited available data.…”
