Conductive Substrate

In this research, a study of the heat transfer enhancement in electronic components mounted in channels was conducted by using different materials in the conductive substrate. In this context, a numerical analysis was performed to investigate the cooling of 3D protruding heaters mounted on the bottom wall (substrate) of a horizontal rectangular channel using the ANSYS/FluentTM 15.0 software. Three different materials of the conductive substrate were analyzed, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), fiberglass reinforced epoxy laminate (FR4), and pure aluminum (Al). Uniform heat generation rate was considered for the protruding heaters and the cooling process happened through a steady laminar airflow, with constant properties. The fluid flow velocity and temperature profiles were uniform at the channel entrance. For the adiabatic substrate, the cooling process occurred exclusively by forced convection. For the conductive substrate, the cooling process was characterized by conjugate forced convection-conduction heat transfer through two mechanisms; one directly between the heaters surfaces and the flow by forced convection, and the other through conduction at the interfaces heater-substrate in addition to forced convection from the substrate to the fluid flow at the substrate surface. The governing equations and boundary conditions were numerically solved through a coupled procedure using the Control Volumes Method in a single domain comprising the solid and fluid regions. Commonly used properties in cooling of electronics components mounted in a PCB and typical geometry dimensions were utilized in the results acquisition. Some examples were presented, indicating the dependence of the substrate thermal conductivity related to the Reynolds number on the heat transfer enhancement. Thus, resulting in a lower work temperature at the electronic components.

High Temperature Reactor

Abstract A Very High Temperature Reactor (VHTR) is one of the next generation nuclear systems. From a view point of safety characteristics, a passive cooling system should be designed as the best way of a reactor vessel cooling system (VCS) in the VHTR. Therefore, the gas cooling system with natural circulation is considered as a candidate for the VCS of the VHTR. Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) is advancing the technology development of the VHTR and is now pursuing design and development of commercial systems such as the 300MWe gas turbine high temperature reactor GTHTR300C (Gas Turbine High Temperature Reactor 300 for Cogeneration). In the VCS of the GTHTR300C, many rectangular flow channels are formed around the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), and a cooling panel utilizing natural convection of air has been proposed. In order to apply the proposed panel to the VCS of the GTHTR300C, it is necessary to clarify the heat transfer and flow characteristics of the proposed channel in the cooling panel. Thus, we carried out an experiment to investigate heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics by natural convection in a vertical rectangular channel heated on one side. Experiments were also carried out to investigate the heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics by natural convection when a porous material with high porosity is inserted into the channel. An experimental apparatus is a vertical rectangular flow channel with a square cross section in which one surface is heated by a rubber heater. Dimensions of the experimental apparatus is 600 mm in height and 50 mm on one side of the square cross section. Air was used as a working fluid and fine copper wire (diameter: 0.5 mm) was used as a porous material. The temperature of the wall surface and gas in the channel were measured by K type thermocouples. We measured the outlet flow rate by hot-wire anemometer which is an omnidirectional spherical probe of diameter 2.5mm. The experiment has been carried out under the condition that a copper wire with a scourer model and a cubic lattice model were inserting into the channel.
