Computational study and optimization of an inclined U-channel cooling system for triple conductive panels under magnetic field
In order to maximize the efficacy of multiple component electronic systems or photovoltaic panels in multiple arrangements, thermal management and cooling system design become crucial. In the present work, a novel cooling system with U-shaped cooling channel for a triple conductive panel system is considered under ternary nano-enhanced magnetic field effects while Galerkin weighed residual finite element method is used as the solution technique. The numerical investigation is carried out for various Hartmann numbers (Ha between 0 and 60), magnetic field inclination (between 0 and 90), side wall inclination of cooling cavity (between 0 and 30), and cavity expansion ratio (between 0.2 and 0.5). At the highest Ha value, panel Pn2 shows a temperature reduction of 52 °C for η=0, and an increase of roughly 24 °C for η=30. The best magnetic field inclination for the lowest surface temperature varies according to the panels and cooling channels used. The surface temperature variation is 2 °C, 114 °C, and 114 °C for panels Pn1, Pn2, and Pn3, when comparing the best and worst cases. As expansion ratios increase, the average Nu generally drops in cooling channels with both flat (η=0) and inclined (η=30) walls. Based on the first three objectives by using optimization with COBYLA, panels Pn1, Pn2, and Pn3 have minimum temperatures of 30.3 °C, 46.6 °C, and 41.4 °C, respectively. By utilizing different objectives, different panel surface temperatures and performance improvements are achieved.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
