© 2022 Elsevier LtdThermal management of electronics is an essential issue since it affects the components' function and longevity. In this study, a novel mini channel heatsink comprised of 3D networks of cylinders with a diameter of 1 mm is investigated experimentally and numerically. The heatsink with the size of 20 × 60 ×60 mm3 was fabricated with AlSi7Mg0.6 powders using Direct Metal Laser Sintering. The Nusselt number and pressure drops for Reynolds numbers between 463.38 and 1443.7 were recorded. The numerical conjugate heat transfer model is validated using the experimental results. Three channel shapes, circle, square, and triangle + square, are studied. The square design has the best overall performance based on the thermal effectiveness factor. It is established that the primary temperature gradient happens along with the flow, and the square designs allow the flow of fluid in the desired direction without hindrance. Additionally, the number of rows in the transverse direction of flow is lowered at constant mass flow rates for the square design. Based on Nusselt number and pressure drop values, the case with six rows is the best performer.

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...
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...
Numerical Investigation on Cooling of Small form Factor Computer Cases ORHAN, OMER EMRE; Tarı, İlker (2008-11-01) In this study, cooling of small form factor computers is numerically investigated. The problem is a conjugate heat transfer problem in which ambient air is the final heat transfer medium. In modeling the problem, heat transfer using heat pipes running from the CPU to the heat exchanger in the back end of the chassis, forced convection inside the chassis, ventilation of the chassis air, conduction paths inside the chassis, and natural convection from the chassis walls to the ambient air are considered. The n...
Modeling of multidimensional heat transfer in a rectangular grooved heat pipe / Odabaşı, Gülnihal; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) Heat pipes are generally preferred for electronics cooling application due to large heat transfer capacity in spite of small size. Micro heat pipes use small channels, whose dimension is on the order of micrometers, to generate necessary capillary action maintaining fluid flow for heat pipe operation. In the present study a flat micro heat pipe with rectangular cross section is analyzed numerically. A simplified axial fluid flow model is utilized to find liquid-vapor interface shape variation along the heat...
Implementation of metal-based microchannel heat exchangers in a microrefrigeration cycle, and numerical and experimental investigation of surface roughness effects on flow boiling Jafari Khousheh Mehr, Rahim; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba; Ünver, Hakkı Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) 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...
