Two-phase flow loop system using a metal porous heat sink is proposed as a cooling system of the future power electronic devices with a heat load exceeding 300W/cm2. In this paper, as the first step, the heat transfer performance of the porous heat sink is evaluated under high heat flux conditions and the applicability and some engineering issues are discussed. The porous medium, which is fabricated by sintering copper particles, has a functional structure with several sub-channels inside it to enhance phase-change as well as discharge of generated vapor outside the porous medium. This porous heat sink is attached onto a heating chip and removes the heat by evaporating cooling liquid passing through the porous medium against the heat flow. Experiments using 30 kW of heating system show that the heat transfer performance of a copper-particles-sintered porous medium with the sub-channels exceeds 800W/cm2 in both high and low subcooling cases and achieves 300W/cm2 at a wall temperature of 150 °C (Tin = 70 °C) and 130 °C (Tin = 70 °C). These results prove that this porous heat sink is applicable enough for cooling 300 W/cm2 class of power electronic devices.

Abstract In this work, we extend our heat transfer performance study on our proposed new and novel 3D printable architected heat sinks with geometrically complex structures based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is used to assess the effect of porosity distribution, heat load, and isothermal boundary condition on the performance of the proposed TPMS-based heat sinks in active cooling using natural and forced convection heat transfer environments. The convection heat transfer coefficient, surface temperature, pressure drop are predicted using CFD method. The CFD model is validated using experimental results for the pressure drop and is verified by standard analytical results. Three TPMS structures are investigated in different orientations. Dimensionless heat transfer groups are developed to globalize the heat transfer performance of the proposed heat sinks.

The influence of the louver fin?s structure on the heat transfer performance of a parallel flow gas cooler is studied, and a 3-D model for an elliptical louver fin is simulated for analysis of the heat transfer and flow resistance characteristics of the fin. The micro-channel structure of the fin is optimized to give the best comprehensive performance evaluation by suitable choice of fin?s thickness and the space between the adjacent louvers for given range of Reynolds number.

Energy Balance Approach

A theoretical investigation is performed into the problem of laminar filmwise condensation flow over a horizontal semicircular tube embedded in a porous medium and subject to capillary forces. The effects of the capillary force and gravity force on the condensation heat transfer performance are analyzed using an energy balance approach method. For analytical convenience, several dimensionless parameters are introduced, including the Jakob number Ja, Rayleigh number Ra, and capillary force parameter Boc. The resulting dimensionless governing equation is solved using the numerical shooting method to determine the effect of capillary forces on the condensate thickness. A capillary suction velocity can be obtained mathematically in the calculation process and indicates whether the gravity force is greater than the capillary force. It is shown that if the capillary force is greater than the condensate gravity force, the liquid condensate will be sucked into the two-phase zone. Under this condition, the condensate film thickness reduces and the heat transfer performance is correspondingly improved. Without considering the capillary force effects, the mean Nusselt number is also obtained in the present study as N u   ¯ | V 2 ∗ = 0 = 2 R a   D a / J a 1 / 2 ∫ 0 π 1 + cos   θ 1 / 2 d θ .
