The heat transfer over a radial heat sink, adapted for LED (light emitting diode) downlights, was experimentally and analytically investigated. We added radiation heat transfer into a previous calculation that neglected this factor. The numerical results agreed well with experimental results. Parametric studies were performed to compare the effects of the geometric parameters (fin length, fin height, ideal number of fins) and the operating parameter (heat flux) on the average heat-sink temperature from the heat-sink array. We found the fin length that maximizes the heattransfer performance. As the emissivity increased, the effect of geometric parameters on the radiation heat transfer decreased.

최근 가정용 컴퓨터와 노트북 등의 중앙처리장치(CPU) 속도가 급격히 빨라지고 있다. 더욱이 화석 에너지 고갈 위기에 따라 제품의 발열량은 급속도로 늘어날 전망이라는 관측이 나왔다. 때문에 에너지절약에 대한 해결이 동반된 연구가 이뤄져야 한다는 목소리가 커지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 발열원에 히트싱크를 직접 부착하는 강제대류 방식에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있고, 최근 들어 열전소자를 이용한 냉각방식과 히트파이프를 이용한 방식도 대두되고 있다. 그 중 열저항 특성 연구에 집중했던 기존 방식에서 벗어나 Pulsating Heat Pipe(PHP)를 열확산기로 적용시킨 연구방식을 소개한다.

Recently demand for large-capacity aluminum heat sinks has been increased as market for high power electricity expands and high-performance electronic products develop. While the brazed heat sinks are in particular preferred, it is almost impossible to manufacture them with an atmospheric continuous furnace due to insufficient heating rate and various thickness of the parent metals. Therefore, a new index batch furnace is developed and the process variables are optimized. Then, brazing efficiency and tensile stress are obtained for brazed parts of the heat sinks. Finally experiment as well as numerical analysis has been performed to compare thermal efficiency of the brazed heat sinks with that of the silicone-bonded heat sinks.

The heat generated by electronic devices can result in performance degradation. Therefore, a heat sink has been used to release the operating heat into the air outside. This study addressed a methodology for a heat sink with an inner tunnel. Under forced convection conditions, the heat transfer characteristics were different so the cooling and heating performances were studied for the heat sink with an inner tunnel. This was evaluated by performing the experimental test examining the heat transfer characteristics related to the variance in time and temperature distribution. In the cooling experiment, the temperature of the A-shape was lower than that of the B-shape, when the voltage was 10 V. These experimental results indicate the optimal cooling effect. In a heating experiment, the temperature of the A-shape was higher than that of the B-shape, when the voltage was 13 V. The experimental results showed that the temperature and efficiency of the A-shape were higher than those of the B-shape.

In this study we investigated the effects of symmetrically arranged heat sources on the heat release performances of extruded-type heat sinks through experiments and thermal fluid simulations. Also, based on the results we suggested a high-efficiency and cost-effective heat sink for a solar inverter cooling system. In this parametric study, the temperatures between heaters on the base plate and the heat release rates were investigated with respect to the arrangements of heat sources and amounts of heat input. Based on the results we believe that the use of both sides of the heat sink is the preferred method for releasing the heat from the heat source to the ambient environment rather than the use of a single side of the heat sink. Also from the results, it is believed that the symmetric arrangement of the heat sources is recommended to achieve a higher rate of heat transfer. From the results of the thermal fluid simulation, it was possible to confirm the qualitative agreement with the experimental results. Finally, quantitative comparison with respect to mass flow rates, heat inputs, and arrangements of the heat source was also performed.

To ensure proper functioning of electrical and mechanical systems, cooling devices are of great importance. A heat sink is the most common cooling device used in many industries such as the semiconductor, electronic instrument, LED lighting, and automotive industries. To design an optimal heat sink, the required surface area for heat radiation should be calculated based on an accurate expectation of the heat flow rate in the target environment. In this study, the convective heat flow characteristics were numerically investigated for a vertically installed typical heat sink and a horizontally installed one in free convection using ANSYS CFX. Comparative experiments were carried out to reveal the quantitative effect of the installation direction on the cooling performance. Moreover, the result was analyzed using the dimensionless correlation with the Nusselt number and Rayleigh number and compared with well-known theories. Finally, it was observed that the cooling performance of the vertically installed heat sink is approximately 10~15% better than that of the one in natural convection.

This paper presents thermodynamic performance analysis of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) using low temperature heat source in the form of sensible energy and using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as heat sink to recover the cryogenic energy of LNG. LNG is able to condense the working fluid at a very low condensing temperature in a heat exchanger, which leads to an increased power output. Based on the mathematical model, a parametric analysis is conducted to examine the effects of eight different working fluids, the turbine inlet pressure and the condensation temperature on the system performance. The results indicate that the thermodynamic performance of ORC such as net work production or thermal efficiency can be significantly improved by the LNG cold energy.

For more efficient energy management of nodes in wireless sensor networks, research has been conducted on mobile sink nodes that deliver data from sensor nodes to server recently. UAV (Unmanned Aerial vehicle) is used as a representative mobile sink node. Also, most studies on UAV propose algorithms for calculating optimal paths and have produced rapid advances in the IoD (Internet of Drones) environment. At the same time, some papers proposed mutual authentication and secure key exchange considering nature of the IoD, which requires efficient creation of multiple nodes and session keys in security perspective. However, most papers that proposed secure communication in mobile sink nodes did not protect end-to-end data privacy. Therefore, in this paper, we propose integrated security model that authentication between mobile sink nodes and sensor nodes to securely relay sensor data to base stations. Also, we show informal security analysis that our scheme is secure from various known attacks. Finally, we compare communication overhead with other key exchange schemes previously proposed.
