Abstract
Abstract In this paper, the effect of increasing the number of layers on improving the thermal performance of microchannel heat sinks is studied. In this way, both numerical and analytical methods are utilized. The analytical method is based on the porous medium assumption. Here, the modified Darcy equation and the energy balance equations are used. The method has led to an analytical expression presenting the average dimensionless temperature field in the multilayer microchannel heat sink. The effects of different parameters such as aspect ratio, porosity, channel width, and the solid properties on the thermal resistance are described. The results for single layer and multilayer heat sinks are compared to show the effectiveness of using multilayer microchannels.
