Abstract:
Natural convection liquid cooling of simulated electronic components was investigated. A single column of eight protruding components was constructed using foil heaters mounted on the back of stainless steel rectangular blocks. These components were attached to a vertical plexiglass wall to simulate a column of 20 pin DIPs. A channel was formed by placing a smooth movable shrouding wall parallel to the test surface. The test surface and the shrouding wall were placed in a water immersion bath. Flow visualization was accomplished using a laser generated plane of light to illuminate suspended particles. Photographs were taken of the flow at the test surface mid-plane for four different power settings at each of three different channel widths. A nondimensional temperature and a modified Grashof number for each heated protrusion at each input power setting and channel width were determined. Keywords Immersion cooling Protruding heat sources Vertical channels Flow visualization.
