An experimental investigation of air cooling thermal module using various enhancements at low Reynolds number region

Experimental and numerical investigations of heat transfer and flow characteristics of cross-cut heat sinks

“…Finally, they proposed the optimized geometries of the plate-fin heat sink by using their present model. However, some research has been done on heat transfer enhancement through increasing the turbulent flow of the working fluid at the inlet and fin tip clearance of the plate-fin heat sink [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Recently, Chingulpitak and Wongwises [4] reviewed the literature on the effect of flow directions and behaviors on the thermal performance of heat sinks.…”

Thermal performance of plate-fin heat exchanger using passive techniques: vortex-generator and nanofluid

“…These appropriate thermal-hydraulic specifications of the VGs as a passive heat transfer enhancement technique have motivated many investigators to study and optimize the performance of these geometries in different heat exchange systems, such as circular and noncircular ducts [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], flat PFHE [13][14][15][16][17][18], tube-fin heat exchanger [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], heat sink [28,29], electronic chip [30,31], and micro-and-mini channels [32]. However, in most studies gases were often used as the heat transfer medium, and studies of liquids are very low.…”

Enhancing heat transfer in a plate-fin heat sink using delta winglet vortex generators

“…Yang et al [11] experimentally examined the airside performance of heat sinks with fin patterns of plate fin, interrupted fin geometry, dense vortex generator, and loose vortex generator. They concluded that the interrupted and the dense vortex generator configurations generally result in more pressure drop than they improve heat transfer, and that vortex generators that are operated at a higher frontal velocity are more effective than the plain fin geometry.…”
