Thermo-Hydraulic Performance for an Electronic Cooling System Using Porous Material

Analysis of hydrothermal performance for laminar forced convective flow through a wavy channel with porous blocks

“…We present the thermo-hydraulic characteristics for the following range of parameters: 10 ≤ Reynolds number ( Re ) ≤ 500 and 10 −4 ≤ Darcy number ( Da ) ≤ 10 −1 (Anirudh and Dhinakaran, 2018; Mehta and Pati, 2019; Bhowmick et al , 2021; Mehta and Pati, 2021a). The constant porosity of the porous media is taken as 0.75 (Ashorynejad and Zarghami, 2018).…”

“…The usage of nanofluid (Gangadhar et al , 2022a, 2022b, 2022c, 2022d, 2017; Venkata Subba Rao et al , 2018) and a flow path with uneven geometry are the other passive cooling techniques. Several research investigations have been carried out on convective heat transfer enhancement techniques using porous media due to its wide engineering applications (Ould-amer et al , 1998; Akbarzadeh et al , 2019; Mehta and Pati, 2021a). Moreover, the corrugated channel is also an effective method used in thermal systems to augment the heat transfer rate (Ng and Wang, 2010; Akbarzadeh et al , 2017; Pati et al , 2017; Li and Sunden, 2018; Srinivasacharya and Kumar, 2015; Shubham et al , 2018; Tiwari and Moharana, 2019a, 2019b, 2020, 2021; Mehta and Pati, 2018, 2019, 2020a, 2020b, 2021b, 2021c, 2021d; Shenoy et al , 2016).…”

“…Ashorynejad and Zarghami (2018) analyzed magnetohydrodynamic thermal transport for nanofluid flow in a partially filled porous wavy channel. Mehta and Pati (2021a) investigated the hydrothermal performance for flow through a channel with porous blocks for 25 ≤ Re ≤ 200. Bhowmick et al (2021) studied the heat transfer characteristics for the Cu-water nanofluid flow through partially filled porous corrugated channels for 5 ≤ Re ≤ 500.…”

Analysis of thermo-hydraulic characteristics for flow of MWCNT-Fe3O4/H2O hybrid nanofluid through a wavy channel under magnetic field

“…In the last few decades, the design and development of efficient and compact thermal systems is one of the focus areas of research because of its potential applications in numerous fields, including solar collectors, heat exchangers, chemical process plants, geothermal processes and flow boiling. [1][2][3] The use of wavy surfaces instead of plane surfaces is one of the widely used passive techniques for heat transfer augmentation. For flow through wavy channels, recirculatory zones are formed and thereby augmenting the heat transfer rate by fluid mixing and alteration in thermal boundary layer.…”
