Abstract

Rapid development of electronic technology requires small size, high density packaging and high power in the electronic devices, which results in more heat generation. Suitable heat dissipation is required to ensure the guaranteed performance and reliable operation of the current state-of-the-art electronic equipment. The aim of the present study is to find out the forced-convective thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a pin-fin heat exchanger as a candidate for cooling system of the electronic devices through the analysis and experiment. Various configuration of the pin-fin array is selected in order to find out the effect of spacing and diameter of the pin-fin on the heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics. Experimental results are compared with the analyses and correlations of several researchers. Finally, the design guide are provided for the required pressure drop and/or the heat transfer characteristics of the heat exchanger.
