Abstract
Horizontal gradient porous metals are proposed to solve the problem of nonuniform temperature distribution on the heating surface. The model of horizontal gradient porous metal is established based on the thermal response of metal skeletons. Pool boiling heat transfer performances of horizontal gradient porous metals are studied by phase-change lattice Boltzmann model. Horizontal porous metal layer thickness, wettability and thermal conductivity gradient effects on bubble behavior and heating surface temperature distribution uniformity are statistically analyzed. The results show that porous metals with horizontal thickness gradient can realize liquid-vapor channel separation, reduce the resistance of bubble rising, and improve the fresh liquid supplement. Compared with the uniform porous metal, the horizontal gradient porous metal with lateral hydrophobic surface or higher thermal conductivity has better boiling heat transfer performance and promotes heating surface uniform temperature distribution at low heat fluxes. The results provide a novel solution to improve the chip wall temperature uniformity for the stable operation of electronic equipment.
