The optimum design of the heat sink by using differential evolution (DE) method is discussed in the present paper. The DE strategy (DE/ best/ 1/exp) is used here because this strategy is best strategy for heat transfer applications [1]. The main procedures for the heat sink optimization is found the minimum thermal resistance (maximize the heat transfer per unit volume) of the heat sink in orde...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of heat pumps in total site heat integration. It will be shown how heat pumps can help de-bottleneck heat transfer so that maximum energy savings are attained. Non-linear targeting models to get maximum cost savings and optimum heat pumping temperature levels are presented. Finally, the paper describes optimal solutions with heat pumps that do no...

In this paper some modifications are proposed to optimize an algorithm of object tracking in wireless sensor network (WSN). The task under consideration is to control movement of a mobile sink, which has to reach a target in the shortest possible time. Utilization of the WSN resources is optimized by transferring only selected data readings (target locations) to the mobile sink. Simulations wer...

An analysis of the effect of orientation on the heat transfer in a scaled model pin fin heat sink utilized in Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting has been carried out using numerical method. The present study involves natural convective heat transfer that takes place in particular heat sink. A pin fin type heat sink has been studied since they are widely used in LED lighting systems which in tu...

The increase in dissipated power per unit area of electronic components sets higher demands on the performance of the heat sink. Also if we continue at our current rate of miniaturisation, laptops and other electronic devices can get heated up tremendously. Hence we require a better heat dissipating system to overcome the excess heat generating problem of using nanoelectronics, which is expecte...

The pressure drop and heat transfer characteristics of a single-phase micro-channel heat sink were investigated both experimentally and numerically. The heat sink was fabricated from oxygen-free copper and fitted with a polycarbonate plastic cover plate. The heat sink consisted of an array of rectangular micro-channels 231 lm wide and 713 lm deep. Deionized water was employed as the cooling liq...

This paper introduces algorithms for target tracking in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that enable reduction of data communication cost. The objective of the considered problem is to control movement of a mobile sink which has to reach a moving target in the shortest possible time. Consumption of the WSN energy resources is reduced by transferring only necessary data readings (target positions...

This article utilizes the experimental method to investigate the thermal performance of heat sinks with one and two pairs of embedded heat pipes. A heat sink with embedded heat pipes transfers the total heat capacity from the heat source to both the base plate and heat pipes, and then disperses heat into the surrounding air via the forced convection. The heat transference from base plate to fin...
