Abstract

The objective of this study is to numerically investigate the cooling characteristics of the heat sink as a cooling device for the amplifier. In order to analyze the heat transfer performances of the heat sink, the steady-state thermal model of the ANSYS software was used and analyzed with the fin thickness, fin pitch and fin number of the heat sink. As a result, the temperature at the junction of heat sink was decreased with the increase of fin thickness and fin number. In addition, the thermal resistances of the heat sinks were enhanced from $0.764^{\circ}C/W$ to $0.739^{\circ}C/W$ and $1.254^{\circ}C/W$ to $0.610^{\circ}C/W$, respectively, with the increase of the fin thickness from 1 mm to 3 mm and fin number from 9 to 20, respectively.

본 연구의 목적은 앰프용 방열장치로서 히트싱크의 방열특성을 수치적으로 연구하는 것이다. 히트싱크의 열전달 성능을 분석하기 위하여 상용 수치해석 프로그램인 ANSYS의 정상상태 열모델을 사용하여 해석하였고 히트싱크의 핀 두께, 핀 피치 및 핀 개수에 따른 열전달 성능을 고찰하였다. 결과적으로, 히트싱크의 Junction부 온도는 핀 두께 및 핀 개수가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 또한 히트싱크의 핀 두께를 1 mm에서 3 mm로 증가함에 따라 열저항은 $0.764^{\circ}C/W$에서 $0.739^{\circ}C/W$으로 향상되었고, 히트싱크의 핀 개수를 9개에서 20개로 증가함에 따라 열저항은 $1.254^{\circ}C/W$에서 $0.610^{\circ}C/W$로 향상되었다.
