Natural convection immersion cooling of discrete heat sources in a series of parallel interacting open-top cavities filled with a fluorinert liquid (FC–72) has been numerically studied. A series of open-top slots which are confined by conductive vertical walls with two heat sources on one side are considered. One of the slots is modeled and simulated. The effect of the separation between the heat sources on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the wall and the effect of strength of the lower heat source (which location is upstream of the other one) on the flow and heat transfer of the upper heat source are considered. The wall thermal conductivity considered ranges from adiabatic to alumina-ceramic. The results of bakelite and alumina-ceramic are shown, which are commonly used as wiring boards in electronic equipment. It is found that conduction in the wall is very important and enhances the heat transfer performance.

In this study, natural convection in a fluid-filled rectangular enclosure is analyzed using Comsol? commercial software. The fluid in which natural convection takes place is a dielectric liquid called FC-75. Attached to one of the vertical walls of the enclosure is an array of rectangular protrusions, each representing computer chips mounted on a PCB. The nominal power consumed by each chip is assumed to be 0.35W, 1.07W, 1.65W and 2.35W. This corresponds exactly to the values used in the experiments, which were performed once by the author of this study. The results of the experiment and the numerical study are shown as Nusselt numbers vs. Rayleigh numbers, both being the most important dimensionless parameters of natural convection. A comparison of the results has shown that Comsol? can achieve reliable results in similar problems, eliminating the need to build expensive experimental setups and spending time conducting experiments. The simulation results are aimed to be used in similar designs of electronic circuits in confined spaces.
