Computational analysis of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a diamond microchannel heat sink with orthogonal ribs by Liang Du, Wenbo Hu, Ningkang Deng, Zhaoyang Zhang, Hongxing Wang

“…However, the orthogonally arranged ribs complicate the fluid flow path and increase flow resistance, leading to a higher pressure drop. Compared to the transverse rib and vertical rib microchannel heat sinks, the heat transfer coefficient of the orthogonal rib microchannel heat sink increases by 182.8 % and 17.9 %, respectively, while the pressure drop rises by 1000.5 % and 17.5 %, respectively. …”
