pone.0346804.t009: CFD Simulation Results for Optimized Micro-Channel Heat Sink

A dataset from figshare authored by Junkai Yao, last updated in April 2026. It likely contains tabular results from computational fluid dynamics simulations evaluating the thermal-hydraulic performance of a novel micro-channel heat sink design with oblique capsule-shaped ribs. The dataset is 13.5 KB in size and is available in XLS format.

Use Cases

• Optimizing heat sink geometry based on fin parameters (Lr, Wr, Hr, Ls) and fin shape mentioned in the description
• Evaluating trade-offs between heat transfer enhancement (Nu) and pressure drop (f) for micro-channel designs
• Training predictive models for thermal-hydraulic performance using simulation-derived data
• Benchmarking new cooling designs against the optimized configuration with specific dimensions provided

Strengths

• Includes specific performance metrics for an optimized configuration, such as a 20.2% increase in Nusselt number and a 15.6% improvement in PEC
• Provides concrete geometric parameters for the optimized rib design (e.g., Lr=2.4928 mm)
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is very small (13.5 KB), indicating limited scope
