The objective is to optimize the configuration sizes and thermal performance
of a multilayer silicon microchannel heat sink by the thermal resistance
network model. The effect of structural parameter on the thermal resistance
is analyzed by numercal simulation. Taking the thermal resistance as an
objective function, a nonlinear and multi-constrained optimization model are
proposed for the silicon microchannel heat sink in electronic chips cooling.
The sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method is used to do the
optimization design of the configuration sizes of the microchannel. For the
heat sink with the size of 20mm×20mm and the power of 400 W, the optimized
microchannel number, layer, height and width are 40 and 2, 2.2mm and 0.2mm,
respectively, and its corresponding total thermal resistance for whole
microchannel heat sink is 0.0424 K/W.
