Experimental and numerical investigation on conjugate effects in deep parallel microchannel using tio2 nanofluid for electronic cooling

Abstract

The present study reports the numerical investigation of laminar forced convection based on TiO<inf>2</inf> nanofluid in a rectangular copper microchannel surrounded by Aluminium block to examine the cooling effects for increased flow rates and particle concentration. The analysis involves the use of pure fluid and TiO<inf>2</inf> nanofluid with the volume fractions of 0.01, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25% for different flow rates. The study also examines the influence of conjugate heat transfer behavior of the microchannel using commercially available software FLUENT-15. © 2018 by the authors of the abstracts.
