Abstract

In this paper, an experimental investigation is performed to estimate the thermal performance of a natural convective heat sink with plate fins subject to the uniform wall temperature condition. Extensive experiments are performed with various input powers, fin spacings, and heights of the natural convective heat sinks with plate fins. In particular, the effect of the inclination angle on the thermal performance of the heat sink is studied. In order to validate the experimental data, the experimental results are compared with results from previous studies. Based on the experimental results, the appropriate ranges of the previous correlations between the input power, the fin spacing, the fin height, and the inclination angle for the natural convective heat sink with plate fins are evaluated.

본 연구에서는 등온 가열 조건 하에서 플레이트-휜을 가지는 자연대류 히트싱크의 열성능을 측정하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험은 자연대류 히트싱크의 열입력량, 휜 간격 및 높이를 변화시키면서 수행하였다. 특히, 경사각 변화가 자연대류 히트싱크의 열성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 기존 연구자들이 제시한 열저항 상관식과 본 연구에서 수행한 실험결과의 비교를 통해 실험결과의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 실험결과를 바탕으로 자연대류 히트싱크의 열입력량, 휜 간격 및 높이, 그리고 경사각에 대하여 기존 연구자들이 제시한 상관식의 적용가능 범위를 평가하였다.
