Abstract Effect of anodization on the thermal performance of naturally cooled heat sinks in power electronic devices made of die-cast aluminum alloy A380 and machined aluminum alloy 6061 was investigated experimentally and numerically. Various types of anodization were examined with different thickness of anodic aluminum oxide layer (AAO), pore size distributions, and surface coloring conditions. A customized natural convection and thermal radiation experimental chamber was built to measure the cooling capacity and heat sink temperatures. A 3D numerical model was also developed and validated against the collected data to provide more details into the contribution of the radiation heat transfer. The total emittance of the anodized samples was determined by a Fourier transform infrared reflectometer (FTIR) spectroscopy method. The results show a significant improvement in total hemispherical emissivity from 0.14 to 0.92 in anodized die-cast aluminum samples. This increase resulted in a considerable reduction in overall thermal resistance, up to 15%; where up to 41% of the total heat dissipation was contributed by thermal radiation. In spite of the rather distinguishable surface morphologies, the measurements suggested that thermal emissivity of the anodized die-cast Al A380 and Al alloy 6061 samples were in the same range.

The spectrally selective coating technology which can be applicable for solar-thermophotovoltaic (solar-TPV) generation systems is described in this paper. In solar-TPV system, the spectrally selective absorber plays a key role to obtain high-efficiency. The technologies of controlling thermal radiation spectrum at temperature over 1000°C, however, have not been established yet. We focus on metal-dielectric multi-layer coating. This selective coating shows enormously high absorptance at short wavelength range and sharp cutoff property. Thermal stability test confirms that this multi-layer structure can be one of the candidates for the selective coatings for solar-TPV systems.

Efficiency of solar-thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems can be improved by controlling spectral property of thermal radiation to match the photovoltaic (PV) cells spectral response. We developed a spectrally selective emitter which can emit quasi-monochromatic thermal radiation to improve the efficiency of TPV systems. From the evaluation by the detailed-balance model for gallium antimonite (GaSb) TPV cells, the photovoltaic conversion efficiency over 50 % is achievable in the case of the emitter temperature over 1800K and emitter Q-value over 15. The numerical simulation based on Rigorous-Coupled Wave Analysis revealed that the quasi-monochromatic thermal radiation can be obtained by closed-end microcavity structure. A solar-TPV system equipped with a solar-simulator is fabricated to evaluate the effect of spectrally selective emitter. By using GaSb TPV cells and spectrally selective emitter based on dielectric layer coating, photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 26% and total efficiency of 7.7% are obtained at emitter temperature of 1654 K under 384 suns.

Heat sinks are widely used in electronic devices with high heat flux. The design and build of microstructures on heat sinks has shown effectiveness in improving heat dissipation efficiency. In this paper, four kinds of treatment methods were used to make different microstructures on heat sink surfaces, and thermal radiation coating also applied onto the heat sink surfaces to improve thermal radiation. The surface roughness, thermal emissivity and heat dissipation performance with and without thermal radiation coating of the heat sinks were studied. The result shows that with an increase of surface roughness, the thermal emissivity can increase up to 2.5 times. With thermal radiation coating on a surface with microstructures, the heat dissipation was further improved because the heat conduction at the coating and heat sink interface was enhanced. Therefore, surface treatment can improve the heat dissipation performance of the heat sink significantly by enhancing the thermal convection, radiation and conduction.
