Abstract

AbstractThis paper shows the performance of a cylindrical micro-pin fins with multiples-arrays structures for maximum heat transfer. The structures has a varying geometric sizes (diameter, height and spacing). The effects of Reynolds number and thermal conductivity ratio on the optimized geometric configurations and the maximum heat transfer rate is documented. Two design configuration were considered. Scales and computational fluid dynamics analysis shows that the benefits of varying fin height is minimal. Results show that performace is increased when three rows of micro pin fin heat sinks with a reduced degree of freedom (fixed height) when compared to two rows of micro pin fins heat sink for the same amount of material. The optimized diameters of the fins seems to have greatest effect on perfomance of the heat sink.
