Popis: To achieve enhanced flux dissipation, microchannels heat sink are being effectively implemented in various engineering processes. Here, a numerical analysis is to be carried out on an open stepped micro pin fin heat sink (MPFHS) with different step size. The stepped pin fin heat sink (PFHS) having varied fin height in an array of two fins having inline arrangement. For the simulation purpose, a single-phase water was used as working fluid with variable thermophysical properties. The present configuration has operated for Reynolds number =100-500, heat flux of 500 kW/m2. The step variation of 100 µm, 200 µm and 300 µm has been considered. It was observed that with increase in step size, the heat transfer augmentation also increases. However, at higher Reynold number, the present studies does not provide effective results in terms of sustainability.
