Numerical simulation of the effect of rib spacing on the heat transfer performance of micro pin-fin heat sink

Abstract

This paper aims to deeply understand the influence of different columnar rib spacing on the comprehensive thermal hydraulic performance of miniature columnar rib radiator, and further explore the influence of flow and heat flow density Taking 10 miniature columnar rib radiator models as research objects, the single-phase heat transfer process of square miniature columnar rib radiator was studied. The experimental results show that for 10 kinds of miniature columnar rib radiators, the relationship between the maximum temperature difference at the bottom of the ribbed substrate will change with the change of temperature, with linear arrangement and cross arrangement.The maximum and minimum values are, respectively, when the longitudinal spacing is 0.75mm and 0.25 mm, and the maximum and minimum values are, respectively, when the transverse spacing is 0.5 mm and 1.25 mm.
