Electronic Cooling - Serpentine Cooling Channel

In today's post, I will examine the application of cooling an array of semiconductor chips (3 by 10) with a serpentine cooling channel (a fluid cold plate). Similar products can be found at:

Each semiconductor device dissipates power at 4.5W so that the total power dissipated is 135W. The inlet air is moved at 1.067 CFM at 25 degC, and it passes through the channel in 12 passes. Please see the attached graph for dimensions in mm.
