Abstract

This experimental study investigated the effect of tip clearance and bypass flow on the cooling performance of a straight fin heat sink. Both the horizontal and vertical directions of the bypass flow were studied by using a mass flow controller and test sections. The thermal resistance of a heat sink was obtained to elucidate the response of the cooling performance to tip clearance and bypass flow. The thermal resistance of a straight fin heat sink gradually increases with increasing tip clearance. A flow guide unit was employed to reduce the bypass flow. An optimal distance from the leading edge of the heat sink to the flow guide unit was found for the fixed volume flow rate. The contribution of the flow guide unit to the thermal performance of a heat sink increases with increasing volume flow rate.

스트레이트 휜 히트 싱크가 장착된 공간에 팁 클리어런스(tip clearance)와 바이패스 유동이 열성능에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 규명하고자 한다. 수평 및 수직 방향으로의 바이패스 유동에 의한 열성능 평가는 열식 질량 유량계(MFC)와 소형 풍동으로 이루어진다. 팁 클리어런스와 바이패스 유동에 의한 히트 싱크의 열성능은 열저항을 통하여 평가한다. 실험 결과, 스트레이트 휜 히트 싱크의 열저항은 팁 클리어런스가 증가함에 따라 점진적으로 증가하며, 유동 가이드 장치는 바이패스 유동을 감소하는 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 동일 유량 조건에서 히트 싱크의 입구에서 유동 가이드 장치까지의 거리에 따라 스트레이트 휜 히트 싱크의 최적값이 존재함을 확인하였다. 히트 싱크로 유입되는 유량이 증가함에 따라 유동 가이드 장치에 의한 열성능 개선 정도는 증가한다.
