Abstract : Thermal and fluid flow characteristics of a micro-channeled water-block with pass variations in 8 samples were studied. The results of a numerical analysis using ANSYS CFX-11 were compared with the results of experiments. The numerical analysis and experiments were conducted under an input power of 150 W, inlet temperature of 35¡É and mass flow rates of 0.7 ~ 2.0 kg/min. The numerical results showed reasonably good agreement, within 3-5%, with the experimental results. Also, the numerical results showed that 2-pass samples give better performance than 1-pass samples in terms of heat transfer. However, the pressure drop for 2-pass samples was relatively higher.
