Measurement of endwall heat transfer and pressure drop in a pin-fin wedge duct

This paper discusses the measurements of endwall heat transfer and pressure drop in a wedge-shaped duct inserted with an array of circular pin fins. The endwall surface is coated with a thin layer of thermochromic liquid crystals and a transient test is run to obtain detailed heat transfer distributions. Parametric studies include Reynolds number (10,000?Re?50,000), outlet flow orientation (straight and lateral) and pin configuration (staggered and in-line). The wedge duct has a convergent angle of 12.7°. The pin spacing-to-diameter ratios along the longitude and transverse directions are fixed at s_x/d=s_y/d=2.5. Pin-less wedge duct results are also obtained for comparison. Results indicated that the straight wedge duct with a staggered pin array is most recommended because of its significant endwall heat transfer and moderate pressure-drop penalty; while the turned wedge duct with a staggered pin array is least recommended since it yields the highest pressure drops and raises severe hot spots. A similarity of the pin Reynolds-number dependence of row-averaged Nusselt number is developed in the present wedge duct of accelerating flow.     

Optimization of short micro pin fins in minichannels

Finned minichannels are modeled in order to optimize microstructure geometry and maximize heat transfer dissipation through convection from a heated surface. Six pin fin shapes – circle, square, triangle, ellipse, diamond and hexagon – are used in a staggered array and attached to the bottom heated surface of a rectangular minichannel and analyzed. Also, using square pin fins, different channel clearance over fins are investigated to optimize the fin height of the fins with respect to that of the channel. Fin width and spacing are investigated using a ratio of fin width area to the channel width. Fin material is then varied to investigate the heat dissipation effects. Triangular fins with larger fin height, smaller fin width, and spacing double the fin width maximizes the number of fins in each row and yields better performance. Correlations describing the Nusselt number and the Darcy friction factor are obtained and compared to previous ones from recent studies. These correlations only apply to short fins in the laminar regime. Completely understanding the effects of micro pin fins in a minichannel is essential to maximizing the performance in small scale cooling apparatuses to keep up with future electronic advancements.     

Study and optimization of the thermal performances of the offset rectangular plate fin absorber plates, with various glazing

The low thermophysical characteristics of air used as a heat transfer fluid in the solar collectors with thermal conversion require a fully developed turbulent flow. This increases the thermal heat transfer between the absorber plate and the fluid, which clearly improves the thermal performances of the solar collector with obstacles arranged into the air channel duct. In the present work, we introduce, in solar collector, the offset rectangular plate fins, which are used in heat exchangers. An experimental investigation carried out showed the generated enhancement of thermal performance. The offset rectangular plate fins, mounted in staggered pattern, are oriented parallel to the fluid flow and are soldered to the underside of absorber plate. They are characterized by high heat transfer area per unit volume. High thermal performances are obtained with low pressure losses and in consequence a low electrical power consumption by the fan in comparison to the flat plate collector. The experimental results are all so compared by using two types of transparent cover; double and triple.     

Convective heat transfer and pressure losses across novel heat sinks fabricated by Selective Laser Melting

This study presents the thermal and fluid flow characteristics of five heat sinks that have been fabricated by a rapid manufacturing technique known as Selective Laser Melting. The five heat sinks consist of two conventional designs, the cylindrical pin and rectangular fin array, for comparison purposes, and three novel heat sinks: a staggered elliptical array; a lattice; and a rectangular fin array with rounded corners. The experimental results for the rectangular fin were compared with data from the literature and were found to be consistent. The rectangular fin with rounded corners proved able to transfer the largest amount of heat whilst improving upon the pressure drop performance of the standard rectangular fin array. Although the lattice arrangement made use of the fabrication process’ ability to manufacture heat sinks with high surface area to volume ratios, its performance was limited by the lack of interaction between the cooling air and structure. In terms of both heat transfer performance and pressure drop, the staggered elliptical array, which cannot be manufactured by conventional techniques, outperformed the other heat sinks.     

Research on the mechanism of heat transfer enhancement in microchannel heat sinks with micropin fins

In this paper, the pressure drop and heat transfer features of a microchannel applying micropin fins are investigated by numerical simulations and experiments. The microchannel, which is 20-mm long, 2.7-mm wide, and 0.3-mm deep, is fabricated with copper and consisted of staggered diamond micropin fins. The visualization experiments, by means of the advanced technology micro-particle image velocimetry (PIV), are conducted to discuss the mechanism of heat transfer by analysing the flow regimes. Meanwhile, 3D-coupled numerical simulations are applied for the combination with experiments in this research. It is found that the vortex-wake flow is stable at Reynolds number (Re) = 0 to 300, and a steady recirculating zone can be observed in the wake, where a pair of symmetrical vortices is formed. All the time, the vortex-wake flow is unstable at Re = 300 to 650. Under this situation, it is due to the decrease of vorticity that the Nusselt number (Nu) is not significantly increased as it was expected. Thus, when Nu in the pin fin microchannel is predicted, the vorticity should be considered as well as turbulent kinetic energy (TKE). Furthermore, comparative study was carried out based on the mechanism proposed in this study among three kinds of microchannel with different fins, including staggered circular pin fins (CPF), square pin fins (SPF), and diamond pin fins (DPF).     

Single-Phase Cryogenic Flow and Heat Transfer Through Microscale Pin Fin Heat Sinks

Single-phase heat transfer and pressure drop of liquid nitrogen in microscale heat sinks are studied experimentally in this paper. Effects of geometrical variations are characterized on the thermofluidic performance of staggered microscale pin fin heat sinks. Pitch-to-diameter ratio and aspect ratio of the micro pin fins are varied. The pin fins have square shape with 200 or 400 μm width and are oriented at 45 degrees to the flow direction. Thermal performance of the heat sinks is evaluated for Reynolds numbers (based on pin fin hydraulic diameter) from 108 to 570. Results are presented in a nondimensional form in terms of friction factor, Nusselt number, and Reynolds number and are compared with the predictions of existing correlations in the literature for micro pin fin heat sinks. Comparison of flow and heat transfer performance of the micro pin fin heat sinks reveals that at a particular critical Reynolds number of ～250, pin fin heat sinks with the same aspect ratio but larger pitch ratio show a transition in both friction factor and Nusselt number. In order to better characterize this transition, visualization experiments were performed with the Fluorinert PF5060 using an infrared camera. At the critical Reynolds number, for the larger pitch ratio pin fin heat sink, surface thermal intensity profiles suggest periodic flapping of the flow behind the pin fins at a Strouhal number of 0.227.     

Flow structure and heat transfer characteristics of a 90°-turned pin-finned wedge duct with dimples at different locations

In this study, numerical simulations are performed to investigate the effect of dimple location on the flow structure and heat transfer characteristics in a 90°-turned channel with pin fins. Results of the flow structure, heat transfer on the endwall, and friction factor are included in this study. It is found that the dimple location has an impact on the flow structure and heat transfer both for the pin fins arranged with in-line and staggered layout. The horseshoe vortex near the pin fin is influenced by the location of the dimple. The dimple enhances the Nusselt number on the endwall surface significantly. In addition, the dimple location has an effect on the low-speed recirculation, impingement, and vortex which are generated by the dimple. However, the dimple has very limited effects on the friction factor for all cases. It is also found that the area goodness factor and volume goodness factor are improved by the dimple.     

扰流空心翅片式微流道液冷板流动换热特性研究

液冷板冷却技术是解决高功率芯片热管理问题最有前途的技术之一,带翅片结构的液冷板具有低流阻、低热阻的优势,因而受到广泛关注。目前翅片结构多以实心为主,空心交错翅片对液冷板散热能力和压降等冷却特性的影响尚未得到系统的研究。对此,设计了空心交错翅片液冷板,采用数值模拟的方法研究进口温度和流量对液冷板流动换热特性的影响。模拟结果表明,空心翅片式液冷板具有良好的散热性能,随着进口温度的升高,液冷板温度不均匀性逐渐降低,但降低趋势有所减缓,而流量的增大对降低平均热阻有显著的作用,当进口流量超过1.2 L/min时,液冷板的平均热阻可低于0.04℃/W;然而,流量的增大也提高了流动阻力,当流量增大至1.7 L/min时,流体出口区域形成涡旋,产生回流区,不利于液冷板的散热效果,且流动阻力增大。
