Abstract

The present work proposes a genetic algorithm (GA) based method for the optimization of geometrical parameters to obtain maximum heat transfer in a micro-channel structure. The works were directed to the specific problems related to thermal transfer performances of micro-cooling systems on chip. Silicon etched micro-channels and water as cooling fluid are considered in the analysis. The results are in good agreement with those in numerical simulations, analytical models, and experimental available data.
