摘要:
The manifold micro-channel (MMC) heat sink has such advantages as low thermal resistance, compact structure, small amount of coolant, low flow rate, uniform temperature distribution along the flow direction, but high pressure drop is required due to narrow channel width and increased pump power. This article investigates the influence of surfactant on flow characteristics in a MMC. An anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS, 95% purity grade) 100 mg·kg-1 aqueous solution and a new type of green non-ionic surfactant of alkyl polyglycoside (APG, 98% purity grade) 300 mg·kg-1 aqueous solution were used separately as working fluid. The results demonstrated that drag reduction depended on flow velocity and temperature. In laminar flow regime, the drag reduction effect was not obvious; but when the fluid entered turbulent flow regime, drag reduction was enhanced notably and especially in fully developed turbulent flow regions. Furthermore, temperature rise could also enhance drag reduction, but the enhancement of drag reduction due to adding SDS was less than APG. By comparing the drag reduction effect of SDS and APG through experiments, it was concluded that APG has better drag reduction effect than SDS at higher temperatures.
