As the electronic components get more and more miniaturized, their thermal management becomes more and more challenging. High heat flux and requiring no moving parts are of benefits that has brought micro-grooved heat pipes as an effective heat removal method, to researchers’ attention in recent years. In current study, thermal performance of an array of 50 micro-grooved heat pipes fabricated on aluminum and filled with DI water is experimentally investigated; temperature distribution along the heat pipes is read and reported under different operating conditions.

Investigation of flow and heat transfer behavior of integrated pin fin-aluminum foam heat sink
ŞAHİN, Yiğit Serkan; TOPRAK, Beytullah İsmet; SOLMAZ, İsmail; Bayer, Özgür (2023-01-01)
With the rapid development in the electronics industry, the thermal management of high power density elec-tronic products (HPDEPs) has become very important and requires innovative heat removal technologies. In this study, an integrated heat sink (IHS) fabricated by combining aluminum foam and pin-finned heat sink config-urations that are frequently used in the cooling of electronic products has been proposed as an effective solution for the thermal management of HPDEPs. The heat removal and pressure drop c...
Comparison of the thermal and pressure drop characteristics of a conventional fin block and partially metal foam embedded heat sinks

Despite the downsizing of the electronic components, the increase in the power consumption of the electronic components and correspondingly the rise in the loss of power that transforms into heat have given a momentum in the search for different cooling methods for thermal sinks by the thermal engineers. Excessively heated regions that form on the small areas where the heat generating components contact the heat sinks create a thermal resistance for the heat flow from the surface of the component to the cha...
Optimization of a heat sink with heterogeneous heat flux boundary condition
Turgut, Eren; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Advancements in micro/nanotechnology along with the size reduction in avionics, raise the importance of microchannel heat sink utilization in the field of electronics cooling. The usage of conventional uniform pin fin arrays or microchannels in the presence of non-uniform heating conditions are not sufficient to overcome the occurrence of the hotspots. Consequently, significant temperature gradients take place at the surface to be cooled. In this study, the effects of some design parameters on the non-unifo...
Implementation of metal-based microchannel heat exchangers in a microrefrigeration cycle, and numerical and experimental investigation of surface roughness effects on flow boiling

A microscale vapor compression refrigeration cycle has been constructed for possible application in the thermal management of compact electronic components. The micro-evaporator and micro-condenser components have been fabricated using wire electron discharge machining and micromilling, respectively. Three microevaporators have been manufactured with different surface roughness for the experimental and numerical investigation of roughness effect on nucleate flow boiling in microchannels. In the numerical pa...

Saygan, Samet; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Çetin, Barbaros; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-2-24)
Heat pipes are commonly preferred thermal management devices due to their rapid heat transfer characteristics, small size and reliability. It is crucial to design heat pipes that accurately match the requirements of the system to be thermally managed. In the present study, a numerical design and diagnosis simulation tool for heat pipes is developed and verified for grooved heat pipes. A modular heat pipe experimental setup is designed and manufactured. In order to decide on the geometric parameters of the h...
