摘要

En 中文
Microchannels are a promising solution for high-heat-flux thermal management scenarios, including high-performance microelectronics cooling and power electronics cooling. However, thermohydraulic instabilities result from the rapid vapor bubble formation. The prior literature has examined several methods, including constricted inlet microchannels, expanding microchannels, and auxiliary jetting microchannels, to mitigate the effect of these instabilities. Computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer (CFD/HT) modeling of the flow boiling phenomena in these microchannel configurations has seen limited examination, and one-to-one numerical comparisons of the different mitigation strategies have not been performed. In the present investigation, CFD/HT analyses using a three-dimensional (3D) volume of fluid model coupled with a phase-change model for the interfacial heat and mass transfer were performed for multiple microchannel configurations (constricted inlet, expanding, and auxiliary jetting microchannels). A benchmark case of a rectangular microchannel was examined to quantify baseline thermohydraulic performance. Results demonstrated slight to significant thermal performance improvements for all cases, and significant pressure benefits for the expanding and jetting cases, consistent with experimental results in the literature. Bubble dynamics and visualization for the baseline and alternative configurations are provided to give insight into their underlying physics, and the differences in performance were investigated and compared with available literature.
