HEAT SINK WITH TURBULENT STRUCTURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18149990 titled 'HEAT SINK WITH TURBULENT STRUCTURES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a planar fin for a heat sink that includes turbulent structures extending from the sides of the fin. These turbulent structures induce turbulent flow of a fluid over the fin at a predefined flow rate.
- The planar fin for a heat sink includes turbulent structures extending from the sides of the fin.
- Each turbulent structure has a first edge parallel to its longitudinal axis and connected to the fin's planar surface.
- Each turbulent structure also has a second edge opposite the first edge and in free space.
- The periphery of the second edge varies in distance from the first edge along the length of the longitudinal axis.
- The periphery of the second edge is shaped to induce turbulent flow of a fluid over the second edge at a predefined flow rate.
Potential Applications
- Heat sinks for electronic devices
- Cooling systems for industrial machinery
- Thermal management in automotive applications
Problems Solved
- Enhances heat dissipation efficiency
- Improves cooling performance
- Reduces the risk of overheating
Benefits
- Increased heat transfer rate
- Improved thermal management
- Enhanced overall system reliability
Original Abstract Submitted
A planar fin for use in a heat sink includes turbulent structures extending from the sides of the planar fin. Each turbulent structure defines a longitudinal axis and having a first edge that is parallel to the longitudinal axis and connected to a planar surface of the fin. Each turbulent structure also includes a second edge opposite the first edged and in free space. The second edge defines a periphery that varies in distance from the first edge along the length of the longitudinal axis. The periphery of each second edge is further shaped such that turbulent flow of a fluid is induced in the flow flowing over the second edge at at least a predefined flow rate.
