Optimization of microchannel geometry for direct chip cooling using single phase heat transfer
Abstract
Direct cooling of an electronic chip of 25mm x 25mm
in size is analyzed as a function of channel geometry for
single-phase flow of water through small hydraulic
diameters. Fully developed laminar flow is considered with
both constant wall temperature and constant channel wall
heat flux boundary conditions. The effect of channel
dimensions on the pressure drop, the outlet temperature of
the cooling fluid and the heat transfer rate are presented.
The results indicate that a narrow and deep channel results
in improved heat transfer performance for a given pressure
drop constraint.
