Study on topology optimization and temperature characteristics of microchannel heat sinks
A variable-density topology optimization method was employed to design the structure of microchannels with three different heat source configurations,aiming to obtain optimal flow channel morphology parameters By harnessing the evapo-rative effects of flow boiling heat transfer and effectively mitigates high-temperature hotspots.At a heat flux of Q=90 W/cm2,the results indicate that the peak temperatures of the microchannel heat sinks for the three configurations are reduced by 21.64%,19%,and 18.2%,respectively.Simulations of boiling heat transfer show that,compared to parallel microchannels,the convective heat transfer coefficients in the optimized topology microchannels increase by 25.83%,26.72%,and 24.60%,respectively,while the total thermal resistance decreases by 21.51%,24.93%,and21.47%,respectively.The comprehensive performance evaluation coefficient PEC achieves a maximum value of 1.87.
