Design of Novel Cooling Systems Based on Metal Plates with Channels of Shapes Inspired by Nature

The effect of the channel shape aluminum plates on cooling capacity was evaluated by studying different configurations. Common shapes channel, such as square and fork shapes, were compared with novel configurations inspired found in nature, specifically outline flowers, these new configurations, consisting channels crateriform, salverform, cruciform shapes. aim study is to evaluate metal plate. To that end, all analyzed from a geometrical point view, determining minimum distance each across plate channel. A finite difference method implemented both transient steady state heat dissipation for configuration. Even though average temperature slight, maximum temperature, size location hot spots, homogeneity are strongly affected through which fluid circulated. reduction during around 2 °C crateriform salverform approximately 4.5 can be attained, standard analysis concluded reduced variation common roughly 15%, whereas 28% could reached Regarding plate, up 34.5% index uniform attained using refrigeration optimal configuration processes, reducing spots improving result already anticipated analysis. In fact, main conclusions good agreement results Therefore, simple reliable design system.
