Enhancement of Heat Sink Performance in Compact Electronic Devices Through Geometry Modification
摘要
A heatsink is crucial in electronic devices, tasked with dissipating generated heat during operation. This study compares a novel corrugated airfoil heatsink to a traditional pin fin model for heat dissipation in electronic de-vices. Using AlSi10Mg alloy and LPBF 3D printing, heatsinks were tested at velocities from 2.5 to 8.5 m/s. Results reveal a significant reduction in base plate temperature, with the corrugated airfoil design showing up to 5.4% improvement over the conventional pin fin model. These findings highlight the potential of innovative heatsink designs to enhance cooling efficiency in electronics.
