Fluid Flow in Microchannel Heat Sinks for various Flow Configurations in Tapered Manifold Arrangements
Main Article Content
Abstract
Micro channels face several types of thermal engineering challenges from different levels of heat generation. The reduction of the available surface area for sufficient heat removal becomes mandatory. If the working temperature of the component becomes very high in the absence of the sufficient heat removal, leads to a critical failure. So working fluid and flow configuration plays an important role. In the present work, CFD analysis of flow on U, P, S type micro channels heat sinks with tapered manifold arrangements is presented. At Reynolds number 705-1410 and with different heat inputs, the P type flow configuration is better than U-type and then followed by S-type flow configuration.
