Abstract

The technological development in the current environment is in line with the development of computer technologies. Therefore, operation loads of computer processors and capacities and processors and other electronic circuit components are increasing. This increasing load creates over heating on these components. If this high temperature generated on electric circuit components cannot be discarded and safe operating temperatures cannot be obtained, the main components of the computer could get damaged from this high heat and the computer could malfunction. This event presents significant problems as all the system such as health, transportation, and security are dependent on computers to actively operate. In this study Micro ATX computer chassis geometry is designed and cooling the computer chassis with fans is numerically modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics. Different fan revolutions are calculated to analyze the heat under idle and full-load operations. The simulation results are used for evaluating velocity and temperature distributions in the solution region and operation parameters for optimum cooling are determined.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.mech.24.5.19233

Summary

Introduction

Science and technology is constantly evolving. The building stone of this evolution is the development of computer technologies. Mohan and Govindarajan [14] numerically calculated thermal analysis of cooling a computer chassis using computational fluid dynamics For this purpose, the effects of heat sink with different paddle geometry on flow and thermal characteristic were investigated. There are few examples that investigate the performance of all the components in the system For this purpose, in this study Micro ATX computer chassis geometry is designed and cooling the computer chassis with fans is numerically modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics. Temperature values are defined for idle and full-load conditions and a model is generated This model is simulated using computational fluids dynamics (CFD) package program for different velocity parameters and velocity and temperature distributions are obtained for solution region of the problem. Continuity, energy, momentum, and turbulence equations of the problem are stated below
