Structure optimization and performance study of embedded manifold microchannel
Compared with traditional microchannels,embedded manifold microchannels have the advantages of uniform tem-perature distribution,low flow velocity,compact structure and low pressure drop.In this paper,numerical simulations were con-ducted for different microchannel depths,manifold numbers,and single row microchannel numbers of embedded manifold micro-channels.It is found that when the microchannel depth is 130 μm,the number of manifolds are 4,and the number of single row microchannels are 43,the highest surface temperature is 46.96 ℃,and the inlet and outlet pressure drop is 50.23 kPa,achie-ving the best comprehensive heat transfer performance for 1 500 W/cm2 ultra-high heat flux density heat sources.Through ex-perimental verification,the difference between the experimental results and simulation analysis of the same structure radiator is a-bout 2%.
