Research on high heat flux cooling technology of a liquid metal driven by a compact induction electromagnetic pump
We propose a novel minichannel heat dissipation approach using a liquid metal for the thermal management of electronic devices with high heat flux density.A compact induction electromagnetic pump with a flow rate of 4.55 L/min and a driving pressure head of 64.2 kPa was developed.Moreover,a liquid metal thermal control platform was constructed based on high heat flux electromagnetic drive to meet the heat dissipation requirements with a high heat flux density of 249 W/cm2.A simulation model for optimizing three-dimensional fluid-solid coupling multiparameters was designed,and the validity of numerical simulation was verified experimentally.The results reveal that the thermal resistance of the liquid metal heat capacity at a low flow rate is the main factor affecting its heat dissipation(accounting for approximately 23.6%of the total thermal resistance),and its surface temperature uniformity can be enhanced by optimizing the relative position of the heat source.
