Geometric Analysis and Scope of Nanofluid in Micro Channel Heat Sinks for Electronic Cooling Application - A Review

With a technological advancement and electronic devices miniaturization, use of liquid coolants increasing continuously into the servers, laptops, and computers. Expanding the efficiency of the system is one of the technique by which sustainability of energy might be guaranteed, for which miniaturization has effectively given arrangements. Micro channel heat sinks (MCHS) are extensively utilized for enhancement of the cooling rate. MCHS seems a trustworthy cooling technology because of its higher control on heat conveying ability. A smaller size of micro channels and capacity of dispersing heat made finest decision for electronic cooling systems. The proposed examination gives a comprehensive review of available studies regarding the various parameters like geometry, pattern, manifold and nanofluid for MCHS which are helpful for cooling enhancement of the system. Also the effects of above mentioned parameters on the performance of MCHS were analyzed. The primary objective behind the study is covering a research gap into the review of various parameters effect upon a performance of MCHS. From this review, execution of micro-channel into electronic devices is greatly suggested because of its capability of protection and extension in an electronic devices lifespan.
