Development of heat sink with ionic wind for LED cooling
نویسندگان
چکیده
A heat sink with ionic wind has been developed in this study for a new cooling device of a Light Emitting Diode (LED). The characteristics of the ionic wind using wire to parallel-plate-electrodes were analyzed using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique suggested in this study. Also, the cooling performance of the heat sink applied by the impinging flow of the ionic wind was investigated by parametric studies. The CFD results were verified from the experimental results of the ionic wind velocity and temperature. A developed prototype of the heat sink with the ionic wind was then manufactured and tested for its cooling performance. Finally, the advantages of the heat sink with the ionic wind for cooling the LED were confirmed. 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Cooling Enhancement of a Photovoltaic Panel Through Ferrofluid Stimulation Using a Magnetic-Wind Turbine
Wind energy is used to rotate a magnetic turbine in order to remove heat from the surface of a photovoltaic (PV) panel. A three-bladed turbine, which rotates with wind energy, has rotational motion underneath the studied PV panel in order to move Magnetic Nano-Particles (MNPs). In addition, effects of the magnetic field strength (B=450-830 mT), rotational velocity of the magnetic turbine (ω), a...

The aim of this paper is to enhance thermal performance of a microchannel heat sink by using nanoencapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) slurry as a cooling fluid instead of pure fluid. A threedimensional model of a circular channel using water slurry of NEPCM was developed. The results show a significant reduction in the mean fluid temperature along the channel and heat sink wall temperatu...

We investigate cross-cut cylindrical heat sink to improve cooling of a light-emitting diode (LED) bulb compared with conventional plate-fin cylindrical heat sinks using various installation angles. In contrast to plate-fin heat sinks, whereby the fins in the upper heat sink do not provide effective cooling at large installation angles, flow formed between the cross-cut fins and the air reached ...

A cooling system, consisting of a chimney and a radial heat sink, was developed for a light-emitting diode (LED) downlight to replace a conventional light for saving energy. Natural convection was simulated with a numerical model that was verified experimentally. When the chimney was installed around the radial heat sink, the cooling efficiency of the heat sink was improved because the cooling ...
