    Optimizing Groove-Enhanced Microchannels for High-Performance Heat Dissipation

    Hongxin Zhang, Yi Zhang, Jiyun Tang, Lei Yao

    Abstract Traditional parallel straight microchannels are limited by low heat flux density and non-uniform flow distribution. From a system optimization perspective, incorporating surface grooves provides an effective means to enhance solid-liquid interaction and improve overall performance. Using water as the working fluid, this study numerically investigates the coupled effects of inlet flow rate, groove number, and groove spacing on the thermo-hydraulic behavior of groove-type microchannel heat sinks. The results reveal a fundamental trade-off between heat transfer enhancement and hydraulic resistance. Increasing coolant velocity significantly improves heat dissipation, but also raises the pressure drop, affecting pumping power… More >
