초록

본 연구는 자연대류상의 할로우 하이브리드 휜 히트싱크 (HHFHS) 의 열성능에 대한 방향 영향의 전산연구결과에 대해 논한다. HHFHS 는 휜 베이스 근처에 천공을 포함하는 중공 핀 휜과 판 휜의 결합형 휜들의 배열로 구성된다. HHFHS의 베이스면적기반, 질량기반 열성능에 대한 방향영향이 0 ~ 180도의 방향각에 대해서 수치적으로 연구되었고, 유사구조의 핀 휜 히트싱크 (PFHS) 와 비교되었다. PFHS 와 달리 HHFHS 의 열저항은 직립상태에서 45도까지 변화가 미미하며, 이후 증가하여 90도에서 최대이며, 이후로는 180도까지 감소함을 보인다. 이러한 열저항 특성의 차이는 HHFHS의 중공 휜의 내부유동에 의한 열펌핑 효과의 영향으로 사료된다. 다양한 방향각에도 HHFHS 의 질량기반 열저항은 약 30% 정도 PFHS 보다 작음을 보여주는데 이 결과는 자연대류 상의 전자장치에 대한 HHFHS 의 경량열관리 적용 가능성을 보여준다.

This paper discusses numerically explored orientation effects on the thermal performance of hollow hybrid fin heat sinks (HHFHSs) under natural convection. A HHFHS consists of an array of hollow pin fins concatenated with plate fins and having perforations near the fin bases. Orientation effects on the footprint-based and mass-based thermal performance of the HHFHS were numerically studied for orientation angles ranging from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$. The performance of the HHFHS was compared with that of a pin fin heat sink (PFHS) having similar physical parameters. The results show that the thermal resistance of the HHFHS did not vary considerably from $0^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$. The thermal resistance increased from $45^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$, reached its maximum at $90^{\circ}$, and decreased consistently from $90^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$. Dissimilar behaviors of the thermal resistance of the HHFHS vs. the PFHS resulted mainly from the effect of heat pumping induced by the internal flows of the hollow fins. Despite various orientations, the mass-based thermal resistance of the HHFHS was found to be nearly 30% smaller than that of the PFHS. This result shows the feasibility of the HHFHS for the lightweight thermal management of electronics under natural convection.
