Abstract
The current study validates numerical studies on heat management of a single IC chip put on a circuit board. In the design that has been proposed, PCM is placed inside a narrow channel that is located on the outside of IC chips. The substrate board directly conducts latent heat to the PCM. This causes the material to change its phase, which enables the system to have high thermal cooling performance. The present study creates a comparative analysis between not having any PCM, having mini channels connected together, and having a single mini channel optimized near a heat source. According to the findings, the cooling capabilities of N-Eicosane are superior to those of paraffin wax, ATP 78 PCM, and N-Eicosane, respectively.

Keywords
