Experimental Study of Flow Boiling Heat Transfer Performance in High Aspect Ratio Microchannels
In this study, we analyzed the flow-boiling heat transfer behavior of a copper microchannel heat sink with a high geometric aspect ratio of 18. An experimental platform was established to systematically evaluate the thermohydraulic response and heat dissipation capability under two heating regimes: continuous and intermittent. In the continuous mode with a heat flux of 300 W/cm² and in the intermittent mode with 750 W/cm² for 90 s, the heat sink successfully maintained the heat-source surface temperature below 75 ℃, while the inlet-outlet pressure drop remained around 18 kPa, indicating excellent two-phase thermal and hydraulic performance. In addition, the flow rate and microchannel pressure drop exhibited a strong positive correlation.
