Experimental investigations on phase change material based finned heat sinks for electronic equipment cooling
Rajesh Baby,Chakravarthy Balaji +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the phase change material (PCM) used in this study is n-eicosane and is placed inside a heat sink made of aluminium, which acts as thermal conductivity enhancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal optimization of PCM based pin fin heat sinks: An experimental study
Rajesh Baby,Chakravarthy Balaji +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental investigation carried out to characterize the thermal performance of different configurations of phase change material (PCM) based pin fin heat sinks was carried out and the results showed that there exists sufficient scope to optimize the thermal design of the heat sink.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method to improve geometry for heat transfer enhancement in PCM composite heat sinks
TL;DR: In this article, a thermal design procedure for proper sizing of composite heat sinks, for maximizing the energy storage and the time of operation until all of the latent heat storage is exhausted, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of surface radiation with free convection in a square cavity
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical investigation of free convection in a rectangular enclosure has been carried out based on Gosman's finite volume method with a 21 × 21 non-uniform grid, and a radiation model has been included in the analysis to study the effect of surface radiation on the heat transfer characteristics of the enclosure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigations on thermal performance enhancement and effect of orientation on porous matrix filled PCM based heat sink
Rajesh Baby,Chakravarthy Balaji +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of orientation of the heat sink on thermal performance is studied by developing a tracking system, capable of placing a heat sink at any specified orientation, which is used to mimic the heat generation in electronic chips.
