A study of micro-scale, fractal-like branching flow networks for reduced pumping power and improved temperature uniformity

Creator:

Alharbi, Ali Y.

Abstract:

A first generation, one-dimensional predictive model is proposed for designing heat sinks with fractal flow networks. A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is analyzed as a means for validating the model and identifying areas for improvement. Two separate CFD models were developed. One was analyzed with conjugate heat transfer...
