Abstract
⺠Overall performance of fixed- and variable-channel-width heat sink is evaluated. ⺠Multi-objective optimization for geometric parameters and CFD model are applied. ⺠Introduction of stepwise channel-width variation enhances overall performance. ⺠Thermal entry length is negligibly small for the fixed-width configuration. ⺠The combined methodology proven valid in predicting the overall performance.
