Effect of taper manifolds with different slopes in microchannel heat sink

Abstract

In this analysis, the liquid flow and heat transfer in micro channel heat sink (MCHS) to find the pressure drop are experimentally investigated by three degree slope in manifolds in addition to the arrangement of micro channels. This experimental analysis is executed with respect to the Nusselt Number and Heat transfer characteristics for three manifolds with different arrangement. We are working on this experiment at three different arrangement manifolds: Arrangement (A) is the three-degree slope in manifolds downward and upward, Arrangement (B) is the three-degree slope in manifolds upward and downward and Arrangement (C) is the three-degree slope in upward direction of the manifolds are selected. In this investigation we are using the Reynolds number ranging from 705-1411 for micro channel heat sink. The Arrangement (A) is the greater heat transfer coefficient within the increase Nusselt number and velocity and low pressure drop in comparison to Arrangement (B) and (C) type manifolds.
