Multi-Objective Optimization on the Geometrical Parameters of a Nanofluid-Cooled Rectangular Microchannel Heat Sink
To develop the microchannel heat sinks with high heat transfer coefficient and low pressure drop
a multi-objective optimization on the geometrical parameters of a single-layer nanofluid-cooled microchannel heat sink with rectangular cross section was performed. The channel aspect ratio α and channel width ratio β were selected as design variables. The optimization objective is to minimize the thermal resistance and pumping power of the heat sink. The K-means clustering analysis was applied for the Pareto optimal solutions
and it was found that there is a tradeoff between the highest and lowest points of the five clusters which can make both pumping power and thermal resistance within the optimal range. The optimal geometrical parameters can be selected based on the requirements of pumping power or thermal resistance in the actual design process. The thermal resistance and pumping power are more sensitive to the width ratio β than to the aspect ratio α. The width ratio β has more significant effect on thermal resistance and pumping power especially when β is greater than 1.15. Compared with the thermal resistance
the pumping power is more sensitive to the design variables. In the design space of variables α and β
the pumping power varies by about 360%
while the thermal resistance only varies by about 135%. The thermal resistance of nanofluid is significantly lower than that of deionized water. The difference of thermal resistance between deionized water and nanofluid increases slowly with the increase of pumping power.
