Question:
Consider Problem 3.144a.
(a) Using an appropriate correlation from Chapter 8, determine the air inlet velocity for each channel in the heat sink. Assume laminar flow and evaluate air properties at T = 300 K.
(b) Accounting for the increase in air temperature as it flows through the heat sink, determine the chip power qc and the outlet temperature of the air exiting each channel. Assume the airflow along the outer surfaces provides a similar cooling effect as airflow in the channels.
Data From Problem 3.144a
(a) Consider limitations for which the array has N = 11 fins, in which case values of the fin thickness t = 0.182 mm and pitch S = 1.982 mm are obtained from the requirements that W = (N – 1)S + t and S – t = 1.8 mm. If the maximum allowable chip temperature is Tc = 85°C, what is the corresponding value of the chip power qc? An adiabatic fin tip condition may be assumed, and airflow along the outer surfaces of the heat sink may be assumed to provide a convection coefficient equivalent to that associated with airflow through the channels.
