Abstract

In this work, two submerged jet impingement/microchannel heat sink (JIMHS) models were proposed, i.e., straight-rib jet impingement/microchannel heat sink (SJIMHS) and oblique-rib jet impingement/microchannel heat sink (OJIMHS). The heat transfer and flow characteristics of the two models were investigated by overall numerical simulation and experiment. In the numerical simulation, the effects of heat flux, pressure drop and rib arrangement on the internal flow and heat transfer of the heat sink were studied. The results indicate that under the same heat flux and inlet condition, the heat transfer surface of OJIMHS achieves more uniform and lower temperature distribution compared with that of SJIMHS, and the average convective heat transfer coefficient of the OJIMHS is obviously higher than that of SJIMHS in all calculation cases, with an increase of about 20%. In addition, the performance of OJIMHS was tested experimentally. The comparison indicates that the maximum relative errors of average temperature and heat transfer coefficient between simulation and experiment were less than 9%. When the volume flow rate is 0.5 L/min and the heat flux is 100 W/cm², the average temperature of the heat transfer surface is still lower than 60°C. Besides, the averaged heat transfer coefficient of 2.8W/(cm2·K) was achieved under the inlet fluid temperature of 283K and volume flow rate of 2.5 L/min in the experiment.
