Optimisation of microchannels and micropin-fin heat sinks with computational fluid dynamics in combination with a mathematical optimisation algorithm

In recent times, high power density trends and temperature constraints in integrated circuits have led to conventional cooling techniques not being sufficient to meet the thermal requirements. The ever-increasing desire to overcome this problem has led to worldwide interest in micro heat sink design...
