Heat Transfer Analysis of Micro Channel Heat Sink
Nivesh Agrawal | Mahesh Dewangan
Abstract: The paper presents the comparison of heat transfer characteristics of liquid coolants in forced convection cooling in a micro-heat sink with different pressure drops such as (35, 50 and 65kPa). The heat transfer characteristics of water and Propylene Glycol (PG) Water are obtained. The numerical results are validated against available results. Within the range of operating parameters, the heat transfer characteristics of PG water has been found better than water. Numerical results of a fluid flow micro-heat sink are obtained using commercial CFD software ANSYS-CFX
Keywords: micro-channel heat sink, CFD, heat transfer, fluid flow, forced convection, pressure drop, and liquid coolant
