微型矩形凹槽的长方体通道的减阻和传热特性

在长方体通道底面沿展向方向间隔设置了微型矩形凹槽，凹槽的深度与边界层尺度相当。采用大涡模拟方法对长方体通道内的流动及传热特性进行研究。数值计算结果表明：在长方体通道内设置的微矩形凹槽可以诱导“突出效应”及二次涡，二次涡的作用类似于微型空气滚动轴承，因而可减小流阻，并使传热性能略有提高。研究表明：微凹槽导致了速度滑移，从而有效降低了通道底部附近流体速度梯度；造成低速条纹变宽，使高低速流体的混合受到抑制。微凹槽内产生的二次涡增加了黏性底层的厚度，且二次涡与微凹槽上方流体之间的滚动摩擦代替了壁面与流体之间的滑动摩擦。与没有布置微型矩形凹槽的长方体通道相比，布置微凹槽的长方体通道可在不影响传热效果的前提下达到6%以上的减阻率。

基于微通道构型的微流体流动控制研究

微通道不仅仅是作为流体流动的单元, 更是进行流体控制的工具,微通道自身特性和特征用在实现微流体的驱动、进样、混合、分离以及液滴的产生、控制等方面已经表现出了良好的效果.由于微通道中比表面积非常大, 表面效应极大影响流体流动,近年来多数研究集中在应用表面效应来实现微流体驱动与控制,而以利用微通道结构特征实现流体流动控制为目标的研究成果相对较少.为了提高对通道构型作用的认识,主要介绍了基于微通道构型的无可动部件的流体微阀和基于微通道构型微小液滴的产生及流动控制器两个方面的发展情况,表明微通道构型在微流体控制中同样可以发挥重要作用,甚至有望带来微流控技术的突破.

脉冲流在Y型和倒Y型微反应器中强化传质的格子Boltzmann模拟

连续流微反应器的迅速发展为化学合成技术提供了一条可精准控制的路径。微反应器中流体的流动、混合和传质是反应的物理基础,因此强化传递就能够合理改善混和效果,增加相接触面积,减小微通道尺寸,以缩短分子扩散距离。由于微反应器中对流传递数量级非常低,不容易控制。通过改进微混合器构型和引入脉冲流动等主被动强化措施,可以有效改善对流和传质,影响化合反应。如何量化分析这些影响,是微反应器强化传质和优化控制反应过程的基础。本文基于有效的虚拟串行竞争反应格子Boltzmann模型,通过对Y型和倒Y型的微反应器的流场结构、混合传质和化合反应进行数值研究,定量分析了脉冲流动在不同流场构型下传质和化学反应的影响,所得结论可为连续流微反应器设计以及微反应精准控制提供有意义的参考。

变开度岩体裂隙多相渗流实验与有效渗透率模型

岩体裂隙的有效渗透率是描述岩体非饱和或多相渗流的关键参数,而裂隙开度是影响有效渗透率的重要因素.通过自主研发的粗糙裂隙多相渗流可视化实验平台,针对天然岩体裂隙复制而成的裂隙模型开展变开度条件下的多相渗流可视化实验,研究开度变化对多相渗流流动结构以及有效渗透率的影响.研究表明:非湿润相流体运动通道,在低流量比条件下呈现出气泡流流动结构,而在高流量比条件下呈现较为稳定的通道流流动结构.随着开度的增加,非湿润相流动通道的分支变少、等效宽度增加,两相流体的有效渗透率均增大,流动结构趋于稳定.可视化结果还阐明了柱塞流流动结构下,两相流体交替占据裂隙空间的竞争机制:当非湿润相流体通道由连续转变为不连续时,裂隙进出口压差显著增加;反之,当该通道由不连续转变为连续时,压差显著减小.最后,基于分形理论以及渗透率统计建模方法,建立了考虑开度效应的岩体裂隙多相渗流有效渗透率理论模型,并通过实验测定的有效渗透率数据验证了该模型的正确性与有效性.

Effects of rotational acceleration on flow and heat transfer in straight and swirl microchannels

Electronic devices in aviation sustain the acceleration with variations in direction and magnitude. One problem is to reduce the adverse effect of acceleration on the performance of the heat exchanger. The microchannel is an innovational heat sink used for large heat dissipation. We designed two types of microchannel to study their flow and heat transfer characteristics under high-G acceleration. A centrifuge provided up to 15?g acceleration in a microchannel with FC-72 as the working fluid. The results show complicated flow and heat transfer characteristics at different acceleration directions, flow rates ranging from 10 to 15?L/h and a heat flux ranging from 35 to 80?W/cm². The acceleration effects are reduced in the swirl microchannel compared with the traditional straight microchannels, and an increasing flow rate also resists acceleration. We perform an analysis of resistance against acceleration based on the forces exerted on each fluid particle.     

Numerical study of fractal characteristics of heat transfer interface in two-dimensional thermal planer jets

A numerical study of fractal characteristics of heat transfer interface in incompressible two-dimensional thermal planar jets is conducted. The fractal characteristics of heat transfer interface are investigated under three typical Prandtl numbers and two-types of inflow velocity profiles. The results show that heat transfer interface is fractal, and the fractal dimension decreases as the Prandtl number increases. It is caused mainly by the non-negligible effect of rapider development of thermal diffusion than momentum diffusion, which could produce finer structures in lower Pr flows. Moreover, this trend is enhanced by the increased inflow momentum thickness of the jets, as a thicker inflow boundary layer could initiate more space for heat transfer development.     

Heat transfer and pressure drop in fractal microchannel heat sink for cooling of electronic chips

In this paper, the improved design of fractal branching channel net that can meet the demand for cooling of rectangular electronic chip with arbitrary ratio of length to width is presented. A theory model is proposed that can be used to estimate the performance of heat transfer and pressure drop approximately. It is found that the optimal total branching level is 7 and the ratio of length to width is 1.87 at the fixed cooling surface for fractal microchannel heat sink.     

Experimental investigation of flow boiling characteristics in a cross-linked microchannel heat sink

This paper experimentally investigates flow boiling characteristics in a cross-linked microchannel heat sink at low mass fluxes and high heat fluxes. The heat sink consists of 45 straight microchannels each with a hydraulic diameter of 248 μm and heated length of 16 mm. Three cross-links, of width 500 μm, are introduced in the present microchannel heat sink to achieve better temperature uniformity and to avoid flow mal-distribution. Flow visualization, flow instability, two-phase pressure drop, and two-phase heat transfer measurements are conducted using the dielectric coolant FC-72 over a range of heat flux from 7.2 to 104.2 kW/m², mass flux from 99 to 290 kg/m² s, and exit quality from 0.01 to 0.71. Thermochromic liquid crystals are used in the present study as full-field surface temperature sensors to map the temperature distribution on the heat sink surface. Flow visualization studies indicate that the observed flow regime is primarily slug. Visual observations of flow patterns in the cross-links demonstrate that bubbles nucleate and grow rapidly on the surface of the cross-links and in the tangential direction at the microchannels’ entrance due to the effect of circulations generated in those regions. The two-phase pressure drop strongly increases with the exit quality, at x_e,o < 0.3, and the two-phase frictional pressure drop increases by a factor of 1.6–2 compared to the straight microchannel heat sink. The flow boiling heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing exit quality at a constant mass flux, which is caused by the dominance of the nucleation boiling mechanism in the cross-link region.

Multifunctional design of two-dimensional cellular materials with tailored mesostructure

Two-dimensional cellular materials (prismatic honeycombs) provide a range of properties that make them suitable for multifunctional applications involving heat dissipation and structural performance. In this paper we present two-scale homogenization-based finite element scheme for convective heat transfer and structural characterization of 2-D cellular metals with uniform and graded cell sizes of various topologies as well as with mixed cell-topologies. For convective heat transfer analysis, the cells are modeled implicitly as temperature-dependent sinks modeling the out-of-plane fluid convection through the cells; the sink strength is determined via a micromechanics problem of heat transfer in a cell. For structural analysis, the cellular material is represented as a micropolar continuum with linear elastic constitutive equations obtained via micromechanics solution of a representative unit cell. The analyses are then used in conjunction with an optimization algorithm to design cellular materials with functionally tailored mesostructures. The analysis and design framework enables tailoring cellular materials with graded cell structures of a given topology as well as with cell structures that combine multiple topologies.     

Irreversibility investigation of Casson fluid flow in an inclined channel subject to a Darcy-Forchheimer porous medium:a numerical study

The heat transfer and entropy generation characteristics of the magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow through an inclined microchannel with convective boundary conditions are analyzed.Further,the effects of the viscous forces,Joule heating,heat source/sink,and radiation on the flow are taken into account.The non-dimensional transformations are used to solve the governing equations.Then,the reduced system is resolved by the fourth-fifth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method along with the shooting technique.The effects of different physical parameters on the heat transfer and entropy generation are discussed in detail through graphs.From the perspective of numerical results,it is recognized that the production of entropy can be improved with the Joule heating,viscous dissipation,and convective heating aspects.It is concluded that the production of entropy is the maximum with increases in the Casson parameter,the angle of inclination,and the Hartmann number.Both the Reynolds number and the radiation parameter cause the dual impact on entropy generation.     

Optimization of an ammonia-cooled rectangular microchannel heat sink using multi-objective non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA2)

The ever decreasing size of modern electronic packaging has induced researchers to search for an effective and efficient heat removal system to handle the continuously increasing power density. Investigations have involved different geometry, material and coolant to address the thermal management issues. This paper reports the potential improvement in the overall performance of a rectangular microchannel heat sink using a new gaseous coolant namely ammonia gas. Using a multi-objective general optimization scheme with the thermal resistance model as an analysis method in combination with a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm as an optimization technique, it was found that significant reduction in the total thermal resistance up to 34?% for ammonia-cooled compared to air-cooled microchannel heat sink under the same operating conditions is achievable. In addition, a considerable decrease in the microchannel heat sink’s mass up to 30?% was achieved due to the different heat sink’s material used.     

Concepts and realization of microstructure heat exchangers for enhanced heat transfer

Microstructure heat exchangers have unique properties that make them useful for numerous scientific and industrial applications. The power transferred per unit volume is mainly a function of the distance between heat source and heat sink—the smaller this distance, the better the heat transfer. Another parameter governing for the heat transfer is the lateral characteristic dimension of the heat transfer structure; in the case of microchannels, this is the hydraulic diameter. Decreasing this characteristic dimension into the range of several 10s of micrometers leads to very high values for the heat transfer rate.

Another possible way of increasing the heat transfer rate of a heat exchanger is changing the flow regime. Microchannel devices usually operate within the laminar flow regime. By changing from microchannels to three dimensional structures, or to planar geometries with microcolumn arrays, a significant increase of the heat transfer rate can be achieved.

Microheat exchangers in the form of both microchannel devices (with different hydraulic diameters) and microcolumn array devices (with different microcolumn layouts) are presented and compared. Electrically heated microchannel devices are presented, and industrial applications are briefly described.     

Topology optimization and heat dissipation performance analysis of a micro-channel heat sink

Junction temperature in the electronic packaging process is one of the critical factors affecting the service life of electronic devices. A micro-channel heat sink is a common heat dissipating device used to reduce the thermal resistance between components and substrate. In order to maximize the heat dissipation while minimizing the pressure drop, this paper adopts a topology optimization method. A material interpolation method based on variable density principle is used together with a moving asymptote algorithm for the optimization. The physics is governed by the heat and mass transfer, coupled with the momentum conservation in the fluid. Four parameters are varied in order to investigate their influence on the optimization process. A three-dimensional geometry has been constructed to study the flow field and the results are compared to a reference case to verify the temperature uniformity and thermal performance of the model. It is demonstrated that the optimized design of the micro-channel heat sink is reliable and effective.
