Fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of the porous metallic heat sink with a conductive cylinder partially filled in a rectangular channel

Performance improvement of high power liquid-cooled heat sink via non-uniform metal foam arrangement

“…Hence using metal foam in liquid cooling had attracted much attention. Typical liquid cooling using metal foams were conducted by Hung et al [6], Boomsma et al [7,8], Wan et al [9], Chein et al [10], Singh et al [11], Zehforoosh and Hossainpour [12], and Jeng et al [13]. These studies examined the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of a porous heat sink either numerically or numerically.…”

Numerical Simulation of Laminar Forced Convection of Pin-Fin Heat-Sink Array in a Channel by Using Porous Approach

“…The experimental setup displayed in Figure 4. The relevant experimental setup, procedure and heat-loss estimation are similar with those reported in the authors' previous work [28]. The test section is made of a straightener and a rectangular channel with the 20 mm-thick Plexiglas cover and 20 mm-thick Bakelite bottom base.…”

Heat transfer measurement of the cylindrical heat sink with sintered-metal-bead-layers fins and a built-in motor fan

“…They said that the porous material could enhance heat transfer by 50%. Jeng and Tzeng and their research colleagues [12][13][14] inserted the metal blocks or the single metal cylinder into the sintered porous or aluminum foam heat sinks. The high-thermal-conductivity solid metal would extend the heating surface into the internal porous structure, raising the effective fin efficiency and promoting the overall heat transfer.…”
