Heat Dissipation by Streams of Bifurcated Tubes
| Resumo: | There is a need for solutions to provide sufficient cooling from power devices, which produce large amounts of heat. This paper focuses on the influence of design of bifurcated fluid streams to dissipate heat. In this study, a single Y-tubes, a double Y-tubes, and an X-tubes designs are studied numerically under space constraints. For a comprehensive and in-depth performance analysis, both heat dissipation and hydraulic performances are analyzed. The distributions of velocity and temperature in the fluid streams is simulated, also the flow resistances and dissipated heat are calculated. Based on the results obtained, a thermo-hydraulic performance factor is introduced for the designs under study. |
