Consider the microchannel cooling arrangement ofProblem 8.107. However, instead of assuming theentire chip and cap to be at a uniform temperature,adopt a more conservative (and realistic) approach thatprescribes a temperature of Ts?350 K at the base ofthe channels (x?0) and allows for a decrease in tem-perature with increasing xalong the side walls of eachchannel.(a) For the operating conditions prescribed in Problem8.107 and a chip thermal conductivity of kch?140 W/m?K, determine the water outlet tempera-ture and the chip power dissipation. Heat transferfrom the sides of the chip to the surroundings andfrom the side walls of a channel to the cap may beneglected.

Due to its comparatively large thermal conductivity,water is a preferred fluid for convection cooling. How-ever, in applications involving electronic devices, watermust not come into contact with the devices, whichwould therefore have to be hermetically sealed. To cir-cumvent related design and operational complexities andto ensure that the devices are not rendered inoperable bycontact with the coolant, a dielectric fluid is commonlyused in lieu of water. Many gases have excellent dielec-tric characteristics, and despite its poor heat transferproperties, air is the common choice for electronic cool-ing. However, there is an alternative, which involves aclass of perfluorinated liquidsthat are excellentdielectrics and have heat transfer properties superior tothose of gases.Consider the microchannel chip cooling applica-tion of Problem 8.109 but now for a perfluorinatedliquid with properties of cp?1050 J/kg?K, k?0.065W/m?K, ??0.0012 N?s/m2, and Pr?15.(a) For channel dimensions of H?200?m, W?50?m, and S?20?m, a chip thermal conductivity ofkch?140 W/m?K and width L?10 mm, a chan- nel base temperature (x?0) of Ts?350 K, achannel inlet temperature of Tm,i?290 K, and aflow rate of m?1?10?4kg/s per channel, determinethe outlet temperature and the chip power dissipa-tion for the dielectric liquid.(b) Consider the foregoing conditions, but with air ata flow rate of m?1?10?6kg/s used as the coolant.Using properties of cp?1007 J/kg?K, k?0.0263W/m?K, and ??185?10?7N?s/m2, determinethe air outlet temperature and the chip power dissipation.

A novel scheme for dissipating heat from the chips ofa multichip array involves machining coolant channelsin the ceramic substrate to which the chips areattached. The square chips (Lc?5 mm) are alignedabove each of the channels, with longitudinal andtransverse pitches of SL?ST?20 mm. Water flowsthrough the square cross section (W?5 mm) of eachchannel with a mean velocity of um?1 m/s, and itsproperties may be approximated as ??1000 kg/m3,cp?4180 J/kg?K, ??855?10?6kg/s?m, k?0.610W/m?K, and Pr?5.8. Symmetry in the transversedirection dictates the existence of equivalent conditionsfor each substrate section of length Lsand width ST.(a) Consider a substrate whose length in the flowdirection is Ls?200 mm, thereby providing atotal of NL?10 chips attached in-line above eachflow channel. To a good approximation, all theheat dissipated by the chips above a channel maybe assumed to be transferred to the water flowingthrough the channel. If each chip dissipates 5 W,what is the temperature rise of the water passingthrough the channel?(b) The chip-substrate contact resistance is Rt,c?0.5?10?4m2?K/W, and the three-dimensionalconduction resistance for the Ls?STsubstratesection is Rcond?0.120 K/W. If water enters thesubstrate at 25C and is in fully developed flow,estimate the temperature Tcof the chips and thetemperature Tsof the substrate channel surface.

An experiment is devised to measure liquid flow andconvective heat transfer rates in microscale channels.The mass flow rate through a channel is determined bymeasuring the amount of liquid that has flowedthrough the channel and dividing by the duration ofthe experiment. The mean temperature of the outletfluid is also measured. To minimize the time needed toperform the experiment (that is, to collect a significantamount of liquid so that its mass and temperature canbe accurately measured), arraysof microchannels aretypically used. Consider an array of microchannels of circular cross section, each with a nominal diameter of50?m, fabricated into a copper block. The channelsare 20 mm long, and the block is held at 310 K. Waterat an inlet temperature of 300 K is forced into thechannels from a pressurized plenum, so that a pressuredifference of 2.5?106Pa exists from the entrance tothe exit of each channel.In many microscale systems, the characteristicdimensions are similar to the tolerances that can becontrolled during the manufacture of the experimentalapparatus. Hence, careful consideration of the effect ofmachining tolerances must be made when interpretingthe experimental results.(a) Consider the case in which three microchannelsare machined in the copper block. The channeldiameters exhibit some deviation due to manufac-turing constraints and are of actual diameter45?m, 50?m, and 55?m, respectively. Calculatethe mass flow rate through each of the three chan-nels, along with the mean outlet temperature ofeach channel.(b) If the water exiting each of the three channels iscollected and mixed in a single container, calculatethe average flow rate through each of the threechannels and the average mixed temperature of thewater that is collected from all three channels.(c) The enthusiastic experimentalist uses the averageflow rate and the average mixed outlet tempera-ture to analyze the performance of the average(50?m) diameter channel and concludes that flow rates and heat transfer coefficients areincreased and decreased, respectively, by about5% when forced convection occurs in microchan-nels. Comment on the validity of the experimen-talists conclusion.
