Simulation analysis of heat transfer performance of heat sink with reduced material design
Abstract
The field of electronic device applications is becoming more and more extensive. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of the integration of electronic components, local heating is becoming more and more serious. If heat cannot be discharged immediately, it will cause heat to accumulate, causing the temperature of each component to exceed the limit. The reliability of electronic equipment is greatly reduced. Especially in important fields such as military and aerospace, the thermal reliability of electronic components is higher. The research results show that increasing the Reynolds number is helpful to reduce the overall temperature and thermal resistance of the heat sink, but the increase of the Reynolds number and the decrease of the thermal resistance value are gradually flat. The design concept of material reduction has a significant impact on processing and cost. The results of this article show that selecting the appropriate heat sink fins and matching the specific Reynolds number can effectively improve the heat transfer performance of the heat sink.
