Project: Analysis of a Heat Sink
Heat sinks are commonly used to expel unwanted heat. This is in particular common in electronic heat management. If you open a computer (especially high-performance workstations), you would see a few of these heat sinks.
For this project, you would need to analyse a given heat sink analytically, experimentally, and computationally. The heat sink is that for the experiment provided in the lab. In the experiment, you can set the amount of energy provided to the heat sink and measure the temperatures at various locations of the setup.
You are to complete these components:
1. Analytical Assessment: Determine the outlet temperature analytically.
2. Experimental Assessment: Book a time in the lab to conduct the experiment (Cloud Student will conduct this experiment in the intensive week, on-campus students will be able to conduct this experiment from week 7 onwards.) The lab report to this experiment will be part of your final submission.
3. Computational Assessment: With your knowledge in computational heat transfer, complete a 2D simulation of the heat sink geometry. This includes a mesh independence study and validation.
4. Comparative Assessment: Compare the three approaches and determine advantages and disadvantages of the approaches. How would you use these approaches in design?
