As chip heat generation continues to rise dramatically, interfacial thermal resistance has emerged as a significant bottleneck for heat dissipation. Therefore, identifying thermal interface materials (TIMs) with high thermal conductivity and low thermal contact resistance is essential. In this study, we propose using a liquid metal alloy composed of 75 % gallium and 25 % indium as a TIM, which boasts a high thermal conductivity of 26.6 W/m·K and a low thermal resistance of 2.8 mm<sup>2</sup>·K/W. A theoretical mathematical model was developed to characterize interfacial heat transfer. Experiments were conducted to compare the heat dissipation performance of liquid metal with that of thermal grease used as TIMs. Furthermore, numerical simulations were performed to analyze the effects of heating power, TIM thickness, and thermal interface area on the chip heat dissipation performance. The experimental results show that liquid metal significantly outperforms thermal grease as a TIM, with the heat source temperature being 9.8 °C lower for liquid metal at a heating power of 90 W. Numerical simulations reveal a linear increase in heat source temperature with rising heating power. Moreover, both reducing the TIM thickness and increasing the thermal interface area improve heat dissipation performance. Specifically, when the TIM thickness was reduced from 2 mm to 0.2 mm and the thermal interface area was increased from 6.25 cm<sup>2</sup> to 16 cm<sup>2</sup>, the heat source temperature was decreased by 8 % and 35.9 %, respectively.

Based on this background, this study proposes a novel design to improve the thermal performance of microchannel heat sinks for high-performance electronic cooling applications. This double-layer microchannel heat sink with integrated impinging jet and rectangular fins, called impinging jet-nested double-layer microchannel heat sink with rectangular fins (IDN-MHS-RF), is fabricated using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. The design aims to address the limitations of conventional microchannel heat sinks, especially in terms of cooling efficiency under high heat flux conditions. To validate the simulation results, experimental tests were conducted using 3D printed heat sink specimens. Numerical simulations and experimental validation of the expected results agree, confirming the accuracy of the model, and both simulations and experiments show that the IDN-MHS-RF significantly improves the thermal performance when compared to a double-layer straight microchannel heat sink (DSMCHS) and the impinging jet-nested double-layer microchannel heat sink (IDN-MHS). The Reynolds numbers tested ranged from 138.20 to 580.44. The maximum pressure drop of IDN-MHS-RF is 7.33 kPa at Reynolds number 580.44, which is 4.16 and 1.45 kPa higher than that of DSMCHS at 3.17 kPa and IDN-MHS at 5.98 kPa. The introduction of fins and impinging jets enhances the mixing and heat transfer of fluids, which inevitably leads to an increase in the pressure drop, but at the same time, it also significantly improves the thermal performance, with a maximum Nussellt number of 64.44, which is 90.76 % and 27.45 % higher than that of DSMCHS at 33.78 and 50.56 respectively. Its maximum Nusselt number is 64.44, which is 90.76 % and 27.45 % higher than that of 33.78 and 50.56 for DSMCHS and IDN-MHS, respectively. Taking DSMCHS as a reference1, the integrated heat transfer coefficient of IDN-MHS is 1.24, whereas the integrated heat transfer coefficient of IDN-MHS-RF2 is as high as 1.50, which indicates a significant improvement in the overall cooling efficiency compared with DSMCHS and IDN-MHS. In addition, the optimal fin spacing is IDN-MHS-RF2 (rectangular fin spacing of 2 mm), the maximum temperature is only 318.11 K, which is 5.15 and 1.10 K lower than that of DSMCHS and IDN-MHS, respectively, and the maximum temperature difference at the bottom is only 1.22 K, which is 2.11 and 0.54 K lower than that of DSMCHS and IDN-MHS, respectively, so that the cooling effect and thermal uniformity are optimized. The cooling effect and thermal uniformity are optimized, and the relative balance between thermal resistance and flow resistance is realized.

The effects of critical operational parameters, namely liquid filling ratio (31 %–92 %), heat load (100–900 W), and height difference between evaporator and condenser (0 cm, 20 cm, 40 cm, and 60 cm), on heat transfer characteristics, temperature uniformity, and start-up behavior were systematically examined. Results reveal that increasing the height difference enhances the gravitational driving force, thereby expanding the operational heat load range and reducing the average evaporator temperature; however, it concurrently exacerbates temperature non-uniformity due to complex two-phase flow instabilities. Notably, an optimal filling ratio near 73 % was identified at zero height difference, where the system exhibits heightened sensitivity to filling variations and limited natural circulation capability. Detailed pressure measurements elucidate the interplay between liquid column height and flow resistance, highlighting a saturation phenomenon in driving pressure at elevated heat loads. The study further uncovers transient gas blockage during start-up, manifesting as short-lived dry-up and temperature oscillations, which detrimentally affect system stability. These phenomena are attributed to the coupled effects of liquid film dynamics, bubble behavior, and gravitational forces within the confined geometry of the flat evaporator. The findings provide critical insights into the underlying physical mechanisms governing loop thermosyphon operation with flat evaporators and offer practical guidelines for optimizing design parameters to achieve enhanced thermal management of high-power electronic devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermal Sciences","volume":"218 ","pages":"Article 110124"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was used to examine the effects of air velocity, air inlet temperature, and water flow rate on key performance parameters including Nusselt number (<em>Nu</em>), Reynolds number (Re), friction factor (f), Colburn j factor, and Stanton number (St). Experimental results showed that increasing the Reynolds number improved heat transfer, with <em>Nu</em> increasing by up to 35 % and f decreasing by approximately 70 %. Among the variables, air velocity (x<sub>3</sub>) was the most dominant, while water flow rate had a minor effect. Experimental results were also compared with ANSYS Discovery simulations, which revealed a temperature deviation of 15 % and a pressure drop error of 7.9 %, highlighting the limitations of simplified turbulence models. RSM regression models showed high accuracy, especially for Reynolds number (R<sup>2</sup> = 1.00, p &lt; 10<sup>−12</sup>), while models for <em>Nu</em> (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.899), f (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.971), and j (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.940) showed minor deviations due to turbulence-induced nonlinearities. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) yielded even higher predictive accuracy, particularly for f (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9996), <em>Nu</em> (error: 6.6 %), and j (error: 7.3 %), confirming their potential in thermal modeling. Overall, air velocity was the most influential parameter, and the hybrid use of RSM and ANN provided a strong framework for heat exchanger optimization. Future work should focus on AI-based optimization techniques and advanced CFD analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Thermal Sciences","volume":"218 ","pages":"Article 110111"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144522901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
