Experimental and CFD analysis of heat sinks with base plate for CPU cooling

Experimental and theoretical investigations of the thermal performance of a variety of heat sinks have been made. The heat sinks investigated were: straight finned, elliptical finned, small pin finned, circular disc finned, elliptical disc finned, frustum finned and double base straight finned. Realistic, manufacturable geometries are considered for minimizing thermal resistance at low velocity. The experimental results of several of the simple geometry heat sinks have been compared to those predicted by a commercially available computational fluid dynamics code fluent. The parameters such as fin geometry, fin pitch and fin height are optimized primarily in this paper and a second task is carried out to optimize base plate thicknesses, base plate materials and modify design of heat sink for improving the thermal performance in the next generation. Although the performance of heat sink is good, the temperature of heat sink at center is high. In this research work, the best heat sink geometry is selected and modified in order to reduce maximum temperature distribution and hot spots of heat sink at center by changing the geometry design and adding one more base. It is observed that flow obstructions in the chassis and the resulting air recirculation affect the heat sink temperature distribution.

Thermal performance of a spirally coiled finned tube heat exchanger under wet-Surface conditions

This paper is a continuation of the authors’ previous work on spiral coil heat exchangers. In the present study, the heat transfer characteristics and the performance of a spirally coiled finned tube heat exchanger under wet-surface conditions are theoretically and experimentally investigated. The test section is a spiral-coil heat exchanger which consists of a steel shell and a spirally coiled tube unit. The spiral-coil unit consists of six layers of concentric spirally coiled finned tubes. Each tube is fabricated by bending a 9.6 mm diameter straight copper tube into a spiral-coil of four turns. The innermost and outermost diameters of each spiral-coil are 145.0 and 350.4 mm, respectively. Aluminium crimped spiral fins with thickness of 0.6 mm and outer diameter of 28.4 mm are placed around the tube. The edge of fin at the inner diameter is corrugated. Air and water are used as working fluids in shell side and tube side, respectively. The experiments are done under dehumidifying conditions. A mathematical model based on the conservation of mass and energy is developed to simulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics of working fluids flowing through the heat exchanger. The results obtained from the present model show reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

Numerical analysis of the flow and heat transfer characteristics for forced convection-radiation in entrance region of an internally finned tubes

The flow and heat transfer characteristics of combined forced convection and radiation in the entrance region of internally finned tubes are investigated numerically in this paper. The uniform flow is considered for an inlet flow condition. A three dimensional parabolic problem is solved by a marching-type procedure envolving a series of two dimensional elliptic problems in the cross-stream plane. The SIMPLER-algorithm and Raithby's pressure-velocity coupling method are employed to analyze the flow and heat transfer characteristics. For the calculation of radiative heat transfer, the P₁-approximation and the weighted sum of gray gases method (WSGGM) are used. The effects of fin height, number of fins, optical thickness, reference temperature, and Planck number on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are examined. It was found that the effect of fin-height on the heat transfer characteristic is more dominant than that of number of fins. The present results show that the optimal non-dimensional fin height and number of fins are 0.4 and 16, respectively.     

Experimental measurement and numerical computation of the air side convective heat transfer coefficients in a plate fin-tube heat exchanger

The air-side forced convective heat transfer of a plate fin-tube heat exchanger is investigated by experimental measurement and numerical computation. The heat exchanger consists of a staggered arrangement of refrigerant pipes with a diameter of 10.2 mm and a fin pitch of 3.5 mm. In the experimental study, the forced convective heat transfer was measured at Reynolds numbers of 1082, 1397, 1486, 1591 and 1649 based on the diameter of the refrigerant piping and on the maximum velocity. The average Nusselt number for the convective heat transfer coefficient was also computed for the same Reynolds number by using the commercial software STAR-CD with the standard k - ɛ turbulent model. It was found that the relative errors of the average Nusselt numbers between the experimental and numerical data were less than 6 percent in a Reynolds number range of 1082∼1649. The errors between the experiment and other correlations from literature ranged from 7% to 32.4%. However, the literature correlation of Kim et al. is closest to the experimental data within a relative error of 7%. This paper was recommended for publication in revised form by Associate Editor Man-Yeong Ha Jin-Gi Paeng recieved a bachelor’s degree in Aero Mechanical Engineering from Gyeong-sang National University in 2000. He then went on to recieve his M.S. degrees from Changwon National University in 2004. Currently, he completed the doc-tor’s course and a doctoral dissertation in 2007 and 2008, respectively. He will take a doctorate in 2008.     

CFD analysis of fin tube heat exchanger with a pair of delta winglet vortex generators

Among tubular heat exchangers, fin-tube types are the most widely used in refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment. Efforts to enhance the performance of these heat exchangers included variations in the fin shape from a plain fin to a slit and louver type. In the context of heat transfer augmentation, the performance of vortex generators has also been investigated. Delta winglet vortex generators have recently attracted research interest, partly due to experimental data showing that their addition to fin-tube heat exchangers considerably reduces pressure loss at heat transfer capacity of nearly the same level. The efficiency of the delta winglet vortex generators widely varies depending on their size and shape, as well as the locations where they are implemented. In this paper, the flow field around delta winglet vortex generators in a common flow up arrangement was analyzed in terms of flow characteristics and heat transfer using computational fluid dynamics methods. Flow mixing due to vortices and delayed separation due to acceleration influence the overall fin performance. The fin with delta winglet vortex generators exhibited a pressure loss lower than that of a plain fin, and the heat transfer performance was enhanced at high air velocity or Reynolds number.     

Thermal analysis of heat pipe shell-fin structures with selective coatings under radiation

The purpose of this study is to investigate the thermal response of a heat pipe shell-fin structure that is selectively coated and is subject to uneven radiation from upper and lower sides. Such a structure would arise when fins are attached to opposing sides of the condenser or evaporator section of heat pipes to enhance the heat transfer performance. Typical examples include radiators for space applications and solar energy collectors for water heating. The temperature distribution in the circumferential direction of the heat pipe shell as well as that in the fin is examined via theoretical modeling and numerical analysis. The model accounts for the effects of selective coatings. Both steady-state and transient solution procedures are presented. Examination of the steady-state results justifies the use of a thermally-lumped formulation for the heat pipe shell region. The effect of fin width is investigated as a typical design variable. The fin efficiency and the collector efficiency are also presented as functions of heat pipe operating temperature and fin widith. The influence of the surface properties on the thermal performance of the heat pipe shell-fin structure are also examined.

Modeling and simulation of a parallel plate heat sink using computational fluid dynamics

Desktop computers have changed to accommodate increasing power, approaching 100 W. Heat dissipation becomes a significant issue in efficiency promotion and stable operation of air-cooled microelectronics and power electronics components and assemblies. Finned heat sinks are commonly used devices for enhancing heat transfer from air-cooled microelectronics and power electronics components and assemblies. The use of finned heat sinks increases the effective surface area for convective heat transfer, reducing the thermal resistance and operating temperatures in air-cooled electronics. The task of selecting the best heat sink for a particular application from the hundreds of configurations available from the various manufacturers can be a formidable task for an engineer. In a typical heat sink design, the objective is to achieve target heat dissipation, while restricting the consumption of valuable resources such as mass, fan power, pressure drop, and space claim. In this research work, preliminary studies have been carried out for the performance improvement of a parallel-plate heat sink considering the various geometric parameters, such as number of fins, fin length, fin height, and base height. The modeling and simulation of the heat sink is carried out with the computational fluid dynamics package. The results are analyzed using analysis of variance and response graphs.

Numerical simulation of natural convection in annuli with internal fins

The solution for the natural convection in internally finned horizontal annuli is obtained by using a numerical simulation of time-dependent and two-dimensional governing equations. The fins existing in annuli influence the flow pattern, temperature distribution and heat transfer rate. The variations of the fin configuration suppress or accelerate the free convective effects compared to those of the smooth tubes. The effects of fin configuration, number of fins and ratio of annulus gap width to the inner cylinder radius on the fluid flow and heat transfer in annuli are demonstrated by the distribution of the velocity vector, isotherms and streamlines. The governing equations are solved efficiently by using a parallel implementation. The technique is adopted for reduction of the computation cost. The parallelization is performed with the domain decomposition technique and message passing between sub-domains on the basis of the MPI library. The results from parallel computation reveal in consistency with those of the sequential program. Moreover, the speed-up ratio shows linearity with the number of processor.

Constructal design of finned tubes used in air-cooled heat exchangers

The present study documents the constructal design and optimization of finned tubes used in air-cooled heat exchangers. The considered tubes are equipped with annular fins. The aim is to minimize the overall thermal resistance by morphing the geometry. The geometrical and thermo-physical parameters considered are the number of fins, ratio of fin height to tube diameter, Stanton number, ratio of fin conductivity to air conductivity, ratio of in-tube fluid conductivity to air conductivity and dimensionless pressure drop. Two constraints are applied in the optimization process: fixed overall volume of heat exchanger and fixed volume fraction of fin material. It is found that there exist optimal values for the number and the height of fins. Moreover, the optimal heat transfer has an extremum in a special volume fraction of fin material.

Analysis of enhancement and impairment mechanisms of natural convection heat transfer on a vertical finned plate

We investigated the heat transfer enhancement and impairment mechanisms of the laminar natural convection on a vertical finned plate. Numerical analyses were performed for wide ranges of Prandtl numbers 0.7–2014, Rayleigh numbers 3.69×10⁵−8.49×10¹⁰ and fin heights 0.0025–0.5 m. Experiments were performed for a few cases for verification. Four different heat transfer mechanisms were identified: corner, core acceleration, chimney and in-flow effects. The competitions of these mechanisms depending on the fin geometries and the Prandtl number resulted in complex variations of the heat transfer. The results showed the heat transfer enhancement of maximum 6.9 % for Pr = 2014, L = 0.1 m and H = 0.015 m and impairment up to 47 % for Pr = 0.7, L = 0.1 m and H = 0.015 m compared with that of a flat plate with the same heat transfer area and baseplate length.

     

Efficiency analysis of straight fin with variable heat transfer coefficient and thermal conductivity

In this study, one type of applicable analytical method, differential transformation method (DTM), is used to evaluate the efficiency and behavior of a straight fin with variable thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient. Fins are widely used to enhance heat transfer between primary surface and the environment in many industrial applications. The performance of such a surface is significantly affected by variable thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficient, particularly for large temperature differences. General heat transfer equation related to the fin is derived and dimensionalized. The concept of differential transformation is briefly introduced, and then this method is employed to derive solutions of nonlinear equations. Results are evaluated for several cases such as: laminar film boiling or condensation, forced convection, laminar natural convection, turbulent natural convection, nucleate boiling, and radiation. The obtained results from DTM are compared with the numerical solution to verify the accuracy of the proposed method. The effects of design parameters on temperature and efficiency are evaluated by some figures. The major aim of the present study, which is exclusive for this article, is to find the effect of the modes of heat transfer on fin efficiency. It has been shown that for radiation heat transfer, thermal efficiency reaches its maximum value.
