Abstract

A three-dimensional thermo-hydrodynamic coupling model is established to study the performance of microencapsulated phase change material suspension (MEPCMS) applied to liquid cold plates. The cooling effect of three liquid cold plates with different flow channels is compared. And the liquid cold plate with the 3-elbow flow channel is chose to analyze the performance when using MEPCMS as coolant. The results show that compared with pure water, the MEPCMS not only can lower the maximum temperature of the liquid cold plate, improve the temperature uniformity, but also lessoning the load of the cooling system.
