Content | 1 ABSTRACT This paper presents a physics based analytical model to predict the thermal behavior of pin fin heat sinks in transverse forced flow. The key feature of the model is the recognition that unlike plate fins, streamwise conduction does not occur in pin fin heat sinks. Thus, the heat transfer from each fin depends on its local air temperature or adia- batic temperature and the local adiabatic heat transfer coefficient. Both experimental data and simplified CFD simulations are used to develop the two building blocks of the model, the thermal wake function and the adiabatic heat transfer coefficient. These building blocks are then used to include the effect of the thermal wake from upstream fins on the adiabatic temperature of downstream fins in determining the fin-by-fin heat transfer within the pin fin array. This approach captures the essen- tial physics of the flow and heat transport within the fin array and yields an accurate model for predicting the thermal resistance of pin fin heat sinks. Model predictions are compared with existing experimental data and CFD simulations. The model is expected to provide a sound basis for a consistent performance comparison with plate fin heat sinks.

The widespread availability of user- friendly computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software now enables heat sink designers and to obtain a reasonably accurate prediction of heat sink performance. Although desktop computers have become powerful enough to run CFD models, a full parametric design study using CFD alone remains impractical because solutions times are still measured in hours and post processing analysis of large CFD data sets remains time consuming. Simple accurate numerical models for heat sinks remain highly desirable to expedite design trade-offs and optimi- zation analyses, e.g. [1-3]. ∆pN⁄ 1 2-ρUo 2- ©¹¨¸¨¸§· ρDUo µ-©¹§· XT1–() XL1–()-= SLST≠() THE THERMAL RESISTANCE OF PIN FIN HEAT SINKS IN TRANSVERSE FLOW Proceedings of IPACK03 International Electronic Packaging Technical Conference and Exhibition July 6–11, 2003, Maui, Hawaii, USA InterPack2003-35104 Sukhvinder Kang Aavid Thermalloy Concord NH kang@aavid.com Maurice Holahan IBM Corporation Rochester MN mholahan@us.ibm.com |
