Analysis and simulation of high-power LED arraywith microchannel heat sink

The high power light emitting diode (LED) array integrated with the microchannel heat sink is designed in this paper, and then optimal analysis and simulation have been carried out. According to the theory of heat transfer and fluid mechanics, the calculation of the thermal resistance for the microchannel heat sink is obtained, and the thermal resistance is minimized. Finally the simulation with FLUENT software is developed to verify the theoretical analysis.
Established analysis and simulation show that the width of the cooling channel is 0.1 mm, and the cooling water flow rate is 1 m/s. On the other hand, the system acquires the best heat dissipation effect, and the minimum of thermal resistance is 0.019 W/℃.
