INVESTIGATION ON HEAT TRANSFER IN CIRCULAR FINS WITH H-SHAPED CAVITY USING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD AND CONSTRUCTAL DESIGN

Abstract

Through constructal design, this study examines how the geometrical configuration of channels embedded within an object in the presence of internal heat generation can be utilized for cooling through convection heat transfer. During the present study, the cavity is cooled by the convection heat transfer method. This work aims to provide an optimal tree structure for cooling electronic components with circular dimensions and internal heat generation in an H-shaped cavity. A structure for this purpose must be designed so that the maximum temperature obtained in the desired surface area is reduced to the minimum for a given production heat power. A study will also examine the dimensions of specific channels in order to decrease the maximum temperature that will be produced. In addition, it will study the geometric characteristics of the branching of the channels and their length. The finite element method will be used to simulate the heat transfer process. Following the validation of the created model, numerous parameters will be checked on the maximum temperature generated in the system. The results will be presented and discussed in appropriate charts and tables.
