With the advancement of technology, devices such as high-density energy systems, electronic
circuits, and battery packs experience intense heat generation. Thermal management systems
ensure that these devices operate within the desired temperature ranges. One of the key elements
of these systems is the cooling plates used in the cooling process. In this study, the thermal and
hydraulic performance of a serpentine channel liquid cooling plate cooled under specific operating
conditions was investigated experimentally and numerically. In the experimental analysis, the
cooling process of the serpentine channel liquid cooling plate was carried out using the liquid
cooling method with different boundary conditions and parameters. Under these operating
conditions, the performance of the cooling plate was analyzed by measuring the plate surface
temperature distributions, coolant temperature changes, and resulting pressure drops. In the
numerical analysis method for liquid cooling, the performance of the serpentine channel liquid
cooling plate was analyzed using the ANSYS-Fluent 2022R1 package program. A verification
study was conducted for the cooling plate, which was subjected to a numerical model and network
independence analysis. As a result, it was observed that the pressure drop values increased with
increasing flow rates in the experimental cooling method. Additionally, in the liquid cooling
experiment conducted with different flow rates, it was determined that the pressure drop was
highest at 10 °C water inlet temperature and 75 W thermal power. Additionally, in the numerical
cooling method, it was concluded that increasing the flow rates applied to the cooling plate
improved temperature homogeneity, thus providing more effective cooling performance.
