A study of non-Darcian forced convection in an asymmetric heating sintered porous channel is carried out to investigate the feasibility of using this channel as a heat sink for high-performance forced air cooling in microelectronics. A volume-averaging technique is applied to obtain the macroscopic equations with the non-Darcian effects of no-slip boundary, flow inertia, and thermal dispersion. Local non-thermal-equilibrium is assumed between the solid and the fluid phases. The analysis reveals that the particle Reynolds number significantly affects the solid-to-fluid heat transfer coefficients. A wall function is introduced to model the transverse thermal dispersion process for the wall effect on the lateral mixing of fluid. The local heat transfer coefficient at the inlet is modeled by a modified impinging jet result, and the noninsulated thermal condition is considered at exit. The numerical results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results in the ranges of 32 ≤ Red ≤ 428 and q = 0.8 ~ 3.2 W/cm2 for Pr = 0.71.
We report the first demonstration of scaled Ge p-channel FinFET devices fabricated on a Si bulk FinFET baseline using the Aspect-Ratio-Trapping (ART) technique [1]. Excellent subthreshold characteristics (long-channel subthreshold swing SS=76mV/dec at 0.5V), good SCE control and high transconductance (1.2 mS/µm at 1V, 1.05 mS/µm at 0.5V) are achieved. The Ge FinFET presented in this work exhibits highest g m /SS at V dd =1V reported for non-planar unstrained Ge pFETs to date.
This paper investigates experimentally and theoretically the flow and heat transfer characteristics inside packed and fluidized beds. A single-blow transient technique combined with a thermal nonequilibrium two-equation model determined the heat transfer performances. Spherical particles were randomly packed in the test section for simulating the packed beds with porosity ε=0.38 and 0.39. Particles were strung with different spaces for fluidized beds with ε = 0.48 ~ 0.97. The ranges of dominant parameters are the Prandtl number Pr = 0.71, the particle Reynolds number Red = 200 ~ 7000, and ε = 0.38 ~ 0.97. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient increases with the decrease in the porosity and the increase in the particle Reynolds number. The friction coefficients of the fluidized beds with ε = 0.48 and 0.53 have significant deviations from that of the packed bed with ε = 0.38 and 0.39. Due to fewer interactions among particles for ε = 0.97, the friction coefficient approaches the value of a single particle.
