Abstract
In this work, single layered (SL) and double layered (DL) flexible microchannel heat sinks are analyzed. The deformation of the supporting seals is related to the average internal pressure by theory of elasticity. It is found that sufficient cooling can be achieved using SL flexible microchannel heat sinks at lower pressure drop values for softer seals. Double layered flexible microchannel heat sinks provide higher rate of cooling over SL flexible microchannel heat sinks at the lower range of pressure drops. Single layered flexible microchannel heat sinks are preferred for large pressure drop applications while DL flexible microchannel heat sinks are preferred for applications involving low pressure drops.
