Abstract

In this work, a comparative analysis of innovative microchannel heat sinks such as two-layered and multi-layered microchannel heat sinks (MCHS), or thin films within flexible complex seals and cooling augmentation using microchannels with rotatable separating plates, is presented. A compilation of the numbers of layers, main characteristics, setups, advantages and disadvantages, thermal resistance, pumping power in double-layer (DL-MCHS) and multi-layer MCHS (ML-MCHS) is presented. In addition, the thermal resistance is analyzed in order to present a comparison between the single-layer MCHS (SL-MCHS) and multi-layer microchannels. The results of comparison indicates that double-layer and multi-layer MCHS have lower thermal resistance and require smaller pumping power and they resolve the high streamwise temperature rise problem of SL-MCHS.
