The effects of dissolved air in the dielectric liquid FC-77 on flow boiling in a microchan-nel heat sink containing ten parallel channels, each 500 ␮m wide and 2.5 mm deep, were experimentally investigated. Experiments were conducted before and after degas-sing, at three flow rates in the range of 30– 50 ml/ min. The dissolved air resulted in a significant reduction in wall temperature at which...

A laboratory-scale temperature system for Control and Automation courses is presented. The system is a coupled two-input two-output process which use peltier modules for temperature control. This paper describes the laboratory-scale system in details. A linear dynamic model of the thermoelectric cooler including the heat sink and the cooling-load heat exchanger is developed and experiments are ...

In the present paper, an experimental assessment was performed on the transient thermal performance of a heat sink filled by a phase change material (PCM) and PCM embedded with carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and titania (TiO2) nanoparticles as nanostructured materials. In order to enhance the thermal conductivity of PCM, CNFs and TiO2 nanoparticles at different loadings (0.5wt. % and 2 wt.% of CNFs a...

In this study, the enhancement of the heat release performance of an extruded-type heat sink to prepare the large-capacity solar inverter thru the flow holes in the base plate near the heat sources was investigated. Optimal location and number of the holes in the baseplate were determined by using a commercial computation program. The heat release performance of the shape-modified heat sink was...

In this experiment, we investigated the performance of two types of heat sink, swagedand extruded-type, used in the inverter of industrial electricity generator. The swaged-type heat sink has 62 fins, and the extruded-type has 38 fins having the same dimension as that of the swaged-type. But the extruded-type heat sink maintains the same heat transfer area by the laterally waved surface which h...

Results of numerical optimization are reported for a phase change heat sink used to cool electronic equipment in extreme environments. The heat sink consists of a conventional, extruded aluminum sink embedded in a block of phase change material. This type of heat sink is used in infrared cameras carried by fire fighters into burning buildings. Optimization of the geometry of the heat sink assem...

Micro-Channel Heat Sink is a heat exchanger which is used to control the temperature of electronic devices with high heat flux. A comprehensive thermal model for the micro-channels should include three dimensional conduction analysis in the solid body together with three dimensional developing fluid flow as well as heat transfer analyses in the fluid section. This paper reports on a research ...
