In spray cooling, coolant droplets generated from a spray nozzle continuously impinge onto a hot surface at high flow rates. The interaction between the droplets and the surface-whether they land on a pre-existing liquid film or directly on the heated area depends on the fluid's saturation temperature and the surface's temperature. Understanding the dynamics and heat transfer during droplet impact is crucial for advancing spray cooling research. The present work summarizes the recent advancements in the study of droplet impact dynamics and heat transfer in spray cooling from two aspects. The first aspect is about the statistical analyses of droplet behaviors and liquid film conditions in spray cooling, examining their influence on cooling efficiency. The second one is regarding the droplet-surface interactions in spray cooling, ranging from single droplet to spray by increasing the complexity of droplet condition and surface condition. It includes the single droplet impacting a dry heated surface, multiple droplets impacting a dry heated surface, and droplet impacting the heated flowing film.","PeriodicalId":50408,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer Research","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141717849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The performance of these prediction models is assessed using mean squared error and coefficient of determination. The influence of each input variable on model development was examined to identify key features. Information gain is introduced and calculated for determining the importance of parameters in prediction. External validation is performed with an additional unseen dataset to further assess the applicability of the selected models across different experimental data points.

This study explores innovative configurations of parallel plate fin heat sink for MOSFET cooling, combining experimental validation and numerical simulations using the ANSYS Fluent solver. A heat sink, denoted as HS1, featuring seven parallel plate fins of length L, serves as the subject of both experimental and numerical analysis. Five alternative configurations designated HS2 to HS6, maintain the overall length of HS1 whilst examining different segmentations of the middle fins. HS2, HS3, and HS4 are segmented with lengths L/3, L/4, and L/7 respectively. Introducing staggered fins, HS5 and HS6, segmented with L/7, generates translations of L/14 and L/28, respectively. Staggered fins are positioned across all proposed heat sinks at S/2 (S is the fins spacing). Analysis of combined mass flowrate and power losses on HS1 reveals distinct trends in thermal resistance and maximum junction temperatures with varying mass flowrates. The heat sink configurations exhibit a significant reduction in thermal resistance compared to HS1. The exploration of the thermo-fluidic characteristics of each configuration unveils the intricate fluid dynamics and heat transfer phenomena occurring within the heat sinks. These configurations aim to minimize the thermal resistance between the MOSFETs' junction and the ambient, effectively reducing operational temperatures. Results also demonstrate significant improvements in heat dissipation efficiency, with the best configuration showcasing a reduction in thermal resistance up to 25.37%.","PeriodicalId":50408,"journal":{"name":"Heat Transfer Research","volume":"157 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141508133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of this, the performance of this equipment decreases, and their service times decrease. Although traditional cooling methods are insufficient to remove the surface's heat, new cooling techniques such as electrohydrodynamic spray (EHD-spray) cooling shows promise in guaranteeing these systems operate in the intended conditions. EHD-spray, also known as electrospray, is an atomization method that provides equal and homogeneous droplets. Although EHD has been used in many studies in the literature, its use in heat transfer has only recently become an important research area. Studies on EHD-spray, which has important advantages such as requiring a very small amount of fluid and low energy, are limited, and there are almost no studies using finned heat sinks. In the study carried out, unique design heat sinks produced with Selective Laser Melting (SLM) method were optimized with Respond Surface Method (RSM) Box-Behnken Design (BBD) management, one of the most effective design methods. In the study where heat sink surface area (HSSA), fluid composition ratio (FCR) and flow rate (FR) were used as variable parameters, the highest heat transfer coefficient (HTC) was found for 100% distilled water at a 17 ml/h flow rate, and the heat sink had the lowest surface area.
