Numerical study for heat transfer enhancement using CuO water nanofluids through mini-channel heat sinks for microprocessor cooling

Abstract: Original scientific paper https://doi.org/10.2298/TSCI180722022AWater cooled heat sinks are becoming popular due to increased heat generation inside the microprocessor. Timely heat removal from microprocessor is the key factor for better performance and long life. Heat transfer enhancement is reached either by increasing the surface area density and/or by altering the base fluid properties. Nanoparticles emerge as a strong candidate to increase the thermal conductivity of base fluids. In this research, the the… Show more

“…The increase of thermal conductivity enhances the convective heat transfer coefficient of nanofluids, but the increase of viscosity increases the thickness of thermal boundary layer and hinders the convective heat transfer of magnetic nanofluids. When the concentration of nanoparticles increases to a certain extent, the particles agglomerate, leading to the increase of the thickness of the boundary layer, and even adsorb on the wall of the tube [17]. Therefore, when the volume concentration is between 0.5% and 2%, the convective heat transfer coefficient of magnetic nanofluids increases with the increase of concentration, which is caused by the increase of thermal conductivity.…”

“…As previously mentioned, many factors increase the pressure drop, and the use of fins with nanofluids becomes effective on the pressure drop of different types of channels. Anwar et al [94] estimated the lowest pressure drop by utilising CuO/water nanofluids with 100 Pa for 1.5 mm fin spacing heat sink, and the maximum value is 7240 Pa for 0.2 mm fin spacing. The percentage difference of pressure drop ranges from 2.2% to 13.1% for CuO/water nanofluids and water for various fin spacing heat sinks.…”

“…And for geometrically decreasing of twist pitch and channel length leads to decrease the convective thermal resistance and thus improves the Nusselt number as the Reynolds number increased. For microprocessor cooling application, Anwar et al (2019) studied numerically the heat transfer using CuO-H 2 O nano-fluids with volumetric concentration of 1.5% through minichannel heat sinks with different fin spacing (0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm and 1.5 mm). They found the minimum base temperature of chip to be 36.8 °C for 0.2 mm fin-spacing heat sink.…”
