Which is the Right Tool?

➥ design is known apriori

➥ used to calculate the performance of a given design, i.e. Nu vs. Ra ➥ cannot guarantee an optimized design

Analysis Tool Design Tool vs.

➥ used to obtain an optimized design for a set of known constraintsi.e. given: • heat input • max. temp. • max. outside dimensions find: the most efficient design

Page 30: Thermal Design and Optimization of Heat Sinks · 80386 80486 Pentium Pentium III Micro 2000 each new chip contains roughly twice as much capacity as its predecessor a new generation

Optimization Using EGM

➥ entropy production ∝ amount of energy degraded to a form unavailable for work

➥ lost work is an additional amount of heat that could have been extracted

➥ degradation process is a function of thermodynamic irreversibilities e.g. friction, heat transfer etc.

➥ minimizing the production of entropy, provides a concurrent optimization of all design variables

Why use Entropy Generation Minimization?

Summary

Heat sink design requires both a selection tool & an analysis tool

Selection is based on: ➥ physical constraints - geometry, material, etc. ➥ thermal-fluid conditions - bc’s, properties, etc. ➥ miscellaneous conditions - cost, standards etc.

Analysis is based on simulating a prescribed design
