Abstract
As part of the liquid cooling, most of the work has been done on fluid flow and heat transfer analysis for flow field. In the present work, the experimental and numerical studies of the microchannel the fluid flow and heat transfer analysis using nanoliquid coolant have been discussed. The practical aspects for increasing the high heat transfer coefficient from conventional studies and the different geometries and shapes of the microchannel are studied. The Aspect Ratio has significant effect on the microchannels and has been varied from AR 2, 4 and 8 to choose the optimum one. Three different fluids, i.e. de-ionized water, ethylene glycol, and a custom nanofluid are chosen for study. The proposed nanofluid almost interacts as another solid and has reduced thermal resistance, friction effect, and thus it almost vanishes high hot spots. Experimental analysis shows that the proposed nanofluid is excellent fluid for high rate heat removals. Moreover, the performance of the overall system is excellent in terms of high heat transfer coefficient, high thermal conductivity, and high capacity of the fluid. It has been reported that the heat transfer coefficient can be increased to 2.5 times of the water or any other fluid. It was also reported that the AR 4 rectangular-shaped channels are the optimum geometry in the Reynolds number ranging from 50 to 800 considering laminar flow. Examination and identification is based upon the practical result that includes fabrication constraints, commercial application, sealing of the system, ease of operation, and so on.
