The authors considered liquid-cooling applications because there were few data available comparing to air-cooling applications. Empirical equations to predict heat transfer on the endwall were developed by obtaining experimental data on the copper base plate with acrylic pins. A new model for predicting pressure drops and heat transfer over staggered pin fin heat sinks with top bypass flow based on mass, momentum, and energy conservation within the two control volumes is proposed. The first control volume in the model is located within the finned area, and the second is located in the gap between the tip of the pins and the flow channel. This model combines two conditions according to the boundary-layer thickness. A comparison between experimental and calculated results revealed that dimensionless pressure drops and the Nusselt number could be predicted within 30% error for the former and 50% error for the latter.展开更多

However,it is lack of an understanding of the heat transferring performance of this new kind of heat sink. In this study,the finite element method (FEM) was used to predict the heat transferring performance of fabric heat sink under the condition of natural convection and forced convection, and its heat transferring performance was compared with that of pin fin heat sink. The results showed that in the condition of natural convection the heat transferring performance of pin fin heat sink was better than that of fabric heat sink, and vice versa under the forced convection condition.展开更多
