Multi-objective geometric optimization of a PCM based matrix type composite heat sink

Heat Transfer Correlations for a Composite PCM Based 72 Pin Fin Heat Sink with Discrete Heating at the Base

“…Thus, in the present study the heat flux remains constant with time, whereas DT keeps changing with time. The properties of neicosane are the same as those used in (Srikanth et al 2015)…”

“…The authors concluded that a single plate heater and discrete heater with uniform heat distribution show the same performance. Srikanth et al (2015) performed a multi objective geometric optimization on a pin fin matrix heat sink using Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm. The authors developed a matched up numerical model and constructed an artificial neural network whose output was the fitness function for the evolutionary algorithm.…”

Experimental investigation on the thermal performance of a heat sink filled with porous metal fiber sintered felt/paraffin composite phase change material

“…To overcome this problem, techniques for enhancing the thermal conduction of the PCM were proposed by several researchers. Introducing suitable internal fins [7][8][9][10] can enhance heat distribution into the PCM and improve the performance of PCM-based TM system. However, introducing internal fins inside a PCM container considerably increases the weight, volume, and machining cost of TM systems.…”

High performance cooling of a HVDC converter using a fatty acid ester‐based phase change dispersion in a heat sink with double‐layer oblique‐crossed ribs

“…Metals such as aluminium alloys and copper are widely used to manufacture heat sinks, due to their lightweight and high thermal conductivity . In the evaluation of heat sink performance, heat transfer across a contact intermediate formed by any two solid surfaces is accompanied by a measurable temperature drop, because there exist interfacial thermal contact resistance (ITCR) to heat flows.…”
