This study computationally explored the thermal performance of passively-cooled polymer heat sinks utilizing seawater. Polymer heat sinks are proposed as cooling modules of the cold sides of thermoelectric generators for waste heat recovery. 3-D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling was conducted for a detailed numerical study. Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and pyrolytic graphite (PG) were selected for the base materials of polymer heat sinks. The computational study evaluated the performance of the PPS and PG heat sinks at various fin numbers and fin thicknesses. Their performances were compared with those of aluminum (Al) and titanium (Ti) heat sinks. The study results showed that the thermal performance of the PG heat sink was 3~4 times better than that of the Ti heat sink. This might be due mainly to the better heat spreading of the PG heat sink than the Ti heat sink. The effect of the number of fins on the performance of the PG heat sink was dissimilar to the cases of the PPS and Ti heat sinks. This result can be explained by the interrelationships among heat spreading, surface area enhancement, and fluidic resistance incorporating with an increase in the number of fins.

In this study, we evaluated the heat release performance of two extruded-type and two swaged-type heat sinks used in an inverter for solar power generation. The number of fins and heat transfer areas of the two swaged-type heat sinks, namely S-62 and S-98, are 62 and 98 and $2.8m^2$ and $5.3m^2$, respectively. Those for the two extruded-type heat sinks, namely, E-38 and E-47, are 38 and 47 and $1.8m^2$ and $1.9m^2$, respectively. The heat release fractions of S-62 and S-98 were measured as 82.7 % and 86.3 %, respectively. Those of E-38 and E47 were measured to be 79.6 % and 81.6 %, respectively. In this experiment, despite the mass flow rates of air entering the heat sinks being almost the same, the heat release fractions increased with heat transfer area. Furthermore, despite S-62's heat transfer area being 47.4 % higher than that of E-47, its heat release fraction was higher by only 1.3 %. We believe that this indicates the better heat transfer property of the extruded-type heat sink. S-98's heat release is only 4.4 % higher than that of S-62, but its heat transfer area is 89.3 % higher; this suggests that its heat transfer area need to be optimized.

The enhancement for cooling performance of heat sink is surely necessary to guarantee the performance of electronic products. So in this paper, the cooling performances of the aluminum heat sink with pulsating heat pipe(PHP) were investigated experimentally and numerically. The pulsating heat pipe was used as a heat spreader. Working fluid of PHP was R-22. Heat inputs were 30W, 60W, 80W and 100W, respectively. Heat sink was tested for forced convection conditions with air velocity of 1 ~ 4m/s. And CFD simulations were conducted for two different heat sinks. The results showed that the cooling performance of heat sink with pulsating heat pipe was higher than that of conventional heat sink. Therefore, the pulsating heat pipe can be a good tool to improve cooling performance of heat sink.

In this experiment, we investigated the performance of two types of heat sink, swaged- and extruded-type, used in the inverter of industrial electricity generator. The swaged-type heat sink has 62 fins, and the extruded-type has 38 fins having the same dimension as that of the swaged-type. But the extruded-type heat sink maintains the same heat transfer area by the laterally waved surface which has 1 mm in radius. As a result, the swaged- and extruded-type heat sinks released 70.7% and 63.8% of the heat incoming to the heat sink, respectively. The other incoming heat were naturally convected and radiated to the ambient. In spite of 40% decrease in number of fins, the heat release performance of the extruded-type heat sink was lowered only 6.9% than that of the swaged-type. We believe that, this shows the increment of effective heat transfer area by the laterally waved surface of fins and the better heat transfer property of the extruded-type heat sink.

In this study, to maximize the heat release from the heat generating environment, such as a high-capacity inverter, the heat release performance of the extruded-type heat sinks with the variation of the base thickness were investigated using the experimental and numerical methods. The base thickness was varied from 5 to 14 mm. The heat release was characterized by the amount of heat released through the heat sink, the surface temperature of heat sink base between the heat sources, and temperature of heat sources. The surface temperatures between heat sources and the amounts of heat release were improved more as the base thickness was decreased. In contrast, the temperatures of the heat sources decreased with increasing base thickness. Based on the case study of these heat sinks, it is believed that a heat sink with a 9.5mm-thick base was optimized for the heat release.

전기 전자 제품에 사용되는 반도체 칩이나 부품들은 작동시 발열을 하게 되며 이러한 열은 적절히 제거되지 않은 경우 전기 전자 제품의 오작동을 유발시키는 요인이 된다. 발열부품이 작동할 때 발생되는 열을 제거하기 위해서 히트싱크나 냉각팬과 같은 구조를 발열 부품 장착시 같이 설치하는 방법이 일반적으로 사용되는 냉각구조 형태지만 이와 같은 냉각 구조는 최근의 전기 전가 제품의 소형화 추세에 부응하는데는 한계가 있다. 따라서 이러한 냉각 구조의 한계를 보완하기 위한 방안으로써 소형화한 히트싱크, 즉 두께와 방열의 중요 요인이 되는 히트싱크의 방열핀의 크기를 나노미터 단위에서 밀리미터 단위로 제조한 마이크로 히트 싱크를 제조하여 그 효용성에 대해 연구하고자 하였다. 마이크로 히트싱크의 제조는 균일한 포어를 포함한 폴리머 멤브레인에 열전도성이 뛰어난 금속을 무전해 도금하는 방법으로 제조하였으며 주사현미경으로써 관찰하였다.

The semiconductor chips or electronic components generate heat, which causes malfunction of the parts when it was not cooled properly. Bulky heat sink and cooling fan are used to get rid of the heat. However, with this bulky system, it is hard to integrate the electronics system in a small scale. The cooling efficiency of the system depends on the surface area of the heat sink, thermal conductivity of the material and the method of integration. In order to develop a novel cooling system, a micro-heatsink with a large surface area while retaining small volume was fabricated by electroless deposition of gold/copper inside a Track-etched membrane. The structure of the micro-heatsink was investigated using SEM or optical microscope. It was also found that the micro-heatsink is more efficient than a flat copper plate.

The Peltier Module has been used to dissipate the heat from electronic devices and electronic components. In this module, a heat sink is used to release the operating heat into the air outside. This study addressed the heat transfer characteristics for a heat sink with an inner tunnel. Under forced and natural convection conditions, the heat transfer characteristics were different. Therefore, the cooling and heating performances were studied for the heat sink, which has an inner tunnel. The heat transfer conditions were also evaluated by performing an experimental test, which investigated the heat transfer characteristics related to the variance in time and temperature distribution. Experiments on the heat transfer characteristics of the heat sink were conducted based on the forced and natural convection and temperature distribution changes. In the cooling experiment, the A- and B-shaped cooling pin heat sinks decreased the temperature of the forced convection than the temperature of natural convection. In the forced and natural convection, the A- and B-shaped decreased to a minimum of $-15^{\circ}C$. Under the forced and natural convection conditions, A- and B-shaped cooling pin heat sinks decreased the temperature when the voltage was increased. In the heating experiment, the A- and B-shaped cooling pin heat sinks increased the temperature of the forced convection than the temperature of natural convection. In forced convection, when the voltage was $15^{\circ}C$, the temperature of the A-shaped cooling pin heat sink increased to $150^{\circ}C$, and the temperature of the B-shaped cooling pin heat sink increased to $145^{\circ}C$. Under forced and natural convection conditions, the A- and B-shaped cooling pin heat sinks showed an increase in temperature with increasing voltage.
