Abstract. The paper describes experimental study results for three kinds of enhanced surfaces (smooth surface, plain minifin surface and minifin surface with sintered perforated foil) and for two kinds of boiling fluids (ethyl alcohol and Novec TM 649). Novec 649 is considered to be an environmentally friendly alternative for electronic devices cooling applications. The experiments were carried out at atmospheric pressure. Compared with smooth surface, the surface with plain minifins provides approximately 1.5-times higher heat transfer coefficient obtained with Novec TM 649 and ethyl alcohol boiling. At low and medium heat fluxes minifins with porous covering produced the highest heat transfer coefficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
