Abstract:Optimization of a microchannel heat sink has been performed based on the analyses of fluid flow and heat transfer with phase change using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The uniform heat flux condition is applied at the bottom of the heat sink. Three design variables, viz. ratio of microchannel width to height of the heat sink, ratio of fin height to heat sink height, and ratio of fin width to height of the heat sink are selected for the shape optimization.
