a, Schematic overview of the measurement setup. An inlet reservoir of coolant is pressurized using a pressure controller, whereas the temperature is controlled using a thermostatic bath. Liquid flow through a flow meter into the test section, containing the chip (DUT). The temperature of the chip is monitored using an infrared (IR) camera, and coolant temperature is monitored using thermocouples (T) and transferred to the personal computer (PC) using a data acquisition box (DAQ). Pressure drop over the chip (dP) is measured at the inlet and outlet port of the chip. b, Picture of the experimental setup for characterizing the thermal performance. c, Close-up picture of the test section.
