Abstract:
The manifold microchannel (MMC) heat sinks have many advantages such as low thermal resistance, compact structure, little amount of coolant, low flow rate, uniform temperature distribution along the flow direction and many others. Experiments are conducted to investigate flow characteristics of water through a MMC (width = 100 μm, height = 300 μm), where the Reynolds Number range from 50 to 3500. Experimental results indicate that the critical Reynolds Number transited from the laminar flow to turbulent flow is in advance. Furthermore, the results given by numerical simulation are almost the same to those of experiments. Based on the experiments, the flow resistance empirical correlations are obtained in laminar flow and turbulent flow regions.
