Effect of a micro heat sink geometric design on thermo-hydraulic performance: A review

With progress in technology and miniaturization of electronic devices, liquid coolants were used increasingly in personal computers, laptops, servers, and supercomputers. Micro heat sinks are widely used for cooling rate enhancement. Geometrical design plays a crucial role in the thermal performance of microchannel heat sinks. This work reviews the researches concerning micro heat sinks via three aspects: (1) Flow passage patterns, (2) Geometry...
