Impingement thermal performance of perforated circular pin-fin heat sinks

摘要

Abstract The study presents the experimental information on heat transfer performance of jet impingement cooling on circular pin- fin heat sinks with/without a hollow perforated base plate. Smoke flow visualization is also used to investigate the behavior of the complicated flow phenomena of the present heat sinks for this impingement cooling. The effects of flow Reynolds numbers (3458≤Re≤11,526), fin height, the geometry of the heat sinks (with/without a hollow perforated base plate), and jet-to-test heat sink placement (1 ≤ H / d ≤16) are examined. In addition, empirical correlation to estimate the heat transfer coefficient was also developed.
