This paper presents an analysis of the heat transfer characteristics and cooling performance of a microchannel heat sink with water-gamma Al(2)O(3) nanofluids having different nanoparticle volume fraction. In view of the small dimensions of the microstructures, the microchannel heat sink is modeled as a fluid-saturated porous medium for problem solving. The Forchheimer-Brinkman-extended Darcy equation is used to describe the fluid flow and the two-equation model with thermal dispersion is utilized for heat transfer. Typical results for the temperature distributions of the fluid phase and the channel wall are presented for various values of nanoparticle volume fraction and the inertial force parameter. It is found that the temperature distribution of the channel wall is practically not sensitive to the inertial effect, while the fluid temperature distribution and the total thermal resistance change significantly due to the inertial force effect. In general, the effect of fluid inertia is to reduce the total thermal resistance and the temperature difference between the channel wall and the fluid phase. The total thermal resistances obtained from the present model with inertial effect match well with the existing experimental results, whereas the thermal resistance is overestimated as the inertial effect is neglected.
