This document discusses the design of heat sinks for semiconductor devices. It describes the evolution of heat sink designs from simple uniform designs in the early 1990s to more complex designs with features like short fins, longitudinal fins, and combined pin fins to improve convection cooling. The key factors in heat sink design are thermal conductivity, cooling surface area, material and manufacturing costs. Designs must consider parameters like air temperature, velocity, duct size, and power dissipation. Optimization of factors like fin geometry, number of fins, and base thickness can improve thermal performance while meeting other constraints.

A Thesis on Design Optimization of Heat Sink in Power ElectronicsIJERA Editor
The heat sinks are used in electronic systems to remove heat from the chip and effectively transfer it to the ambient. The heat sink geometry is designed by the mechanical engineers with the primary aim of reducing the thermal resistance of the heat sink for better cooling in the electronic systems. Due to the proximity of the heat sink with the ICs, the RF fields created by RF currents in the ICs/PCBs gets coupled to heat sinks. Hence, the coupled RF current can cause radiated emission. This radiated noise from the device can couple and disturb the functioning of the nearby electronic systems. Also this radiated emission from the device poses a problem to the system compliance with respect to EMI/EMC regulations. The international EMI/EMC standards require the radiated emission from the electronic devices to be kept below the specified limits. As a result the design of Heat Sink is very important factor for the efficient operation of the electronic equipment. In this project design optimization of a Heat sink in a Power amplifier is performed to reduce the weight and size .Power amplifier is electronic equipment mounted in an army vehicle. The power modules inside the amplifier generates a heat of 1440 Watts and a temperature of 140 0c.Two Heat sinks are used to dissipate the heat generated inside the equipment and maintain a temperature of less than 850c. The existing heat sink which is being used is weighing around 10.3kgs and height of 51mm; as a result the unit is very robust. The objective of my project is To design & optimize the heat sink to reduce the weight and size. The optimized heat sink should also dissipate heat generated by power modules and maintain a temperature of less than 850c inside. To achieve the design a steady state thermal analysis will be performed on the heat sink and plot the Temperature distribution on the fins. Based on the above analysis results we will increase/decrease the number of fins, thickness of fins, and height of fins to reduce the weight of the heat sink. We will perform CFD analysis of the power amplifier by mounting the optimized heat sink and plot temperature, pressure and velocity distribution in the power amplifier enclosure. Efforts are made to optimize temperature, pressure and velocity distribution in the power amplifier enclosure by reorienting the power modules in the enclosure. UNIGRAPHICS software is used for 3D modeling SOLID WORKS FLOW SIMULATION software is used for thermal and CFD analysis.

Water-cooled chiller systems have typically been designed around entering condenser water temperatures of 85°F with a Optimization of Water - Cooled Chiller – Cooling Tower Combinations The warm water leaving the chilled water coils is pumped to the evaporator of the chiller, where the unwanted heat from the building is transferred by the latent heat of vaporization of the refrigerant. The compressor of the chiller then compresses the refrigerant to a higher pressure, adding the heat of compression in the process. The high pressure refrigerant then moves to the economical condenser water flow of 3.0 USGPM/ton and a 10°F denser, where the unwanted heat is rerange. In recent years, there has been considerable debate on the merits of designing around lower condenser water flow rates with a higher range in order to improve system lifecycle costs. However, two other parameters must also be considered in any analysis - approach and design wet bulb. The question to be answered is: What nominal condenser water flow rate and approach is best from a first cost standpoint as well as from a full load energy standpoint at any given wet bulb.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

1. Design of Heat Sinks
P M V Subbarao

Success Based on Cooling Challenges …….
2. Semiconductor Heat Sinks
• Thermal Physics of Semiconductor Heat Sinks (SHS) is an
interesting and urgent topics of semiconductor devices cooling.
• While in the long ago passed years of easy-happy
Semiconductor Heat Sinks solutions.
• Those were practically of the single uniform design as, for
example, this one for the 486X chipset from the early 90s.
• The continuous more and more stiff and demanding interest in
the heat to be evacuated from the electronic devices, more
effectively, brought up the newer styles for SHS.
• Specially designed forced convection along the short fins or
• Guided directed air flux down the longitudinal fins
7. Types of Heat Sinks
• Thermal conductivity and cooling surface area must always be weighed
against material and manufacturing costs.
• Most heat sinks are made from aluminum, because of its low thermal
resistance, light weight, and low cost.
• Copper is also used for heat sinks; although lower in thermal resistance than
aluminum, its cost and greater weight make it less desirable for many
applications.
• Stamped heat sinks : made from a single sheet of metal, which is cut and
bent to give the desired thermal properties.
• Extruded heat sinks : are very cost effective and provide good thermal
performance.
• Many basic shapes can be provided off-the-shelf.
• Heat Sink Castings : provide a cost-effective solution for high-volume, stable
applications.
• Bonded-fin heat sinks : are made by bonding fins, fabricated from sheet
metal or through extrusion, to an extruded base.
• This process increases the surface area over a similar extruded piece,
reducing the thermal resistance by A 1/2to 2/3.
8. • Folded-fin Heat Sinks : are bonded-fin assemblies with
complex fin shapes.
• By folding the fins over themselves, these assemblies
provide a large surface area in a confined space.
9. Geometrical & Thermal Design Constraints
In forced convection, the critical parameters for heat sink design include
local upstream air temperature (Ta) and velocity (V)
The airflow duct cross-sectional area (Wduct, Hduct) play an important
role in heat sink design.
10. • The most important factor for the airflow available is the
maximum volume the heat sink can occupy.
• Wmax, Lmax, and Hmax
• The design must accommodate the component
specifications, such as the power dissipated (P) and the
maximum junction temperature (Tjmax).
• The maximum heat sink weight, also play a role in the
design.
• Another important factor during the design phase is the
maximum allowable cost of the thermal solution
11. Steps in Design of Forced Convection Heat Sinks
Analytical modeling
Maximization of heat dissipation
Least-material optimization
Design for manufacture
12. Tcase
Design Calculations for Fin Arrays – Thermal Resistance
• In order to select the appropriate heat
sink, the thermal designer must
• first determine the maximum allowable
heat sink thermal resistance.
• To do this it is necessary to know the
• maximum allowable module case
temperature, Tcase,
• the module power dissipation, qmod, and
• the thermal resistance at the module-to-
heat sink interface, Rint.
• The maximum allowable temperature at
the heat sink attachment surface, Tbase,
is given by

• The gap, S, between the fins may be determined from
16. Heat Sink Pressure Drop
• To determine the air flow
rate it is necessary to
estimate the heat sink
pressure drop as a function
of flow rate and match it
to a curve of fan pressure
drop versus flow rate.
• A method to do this, using
equations presented here.
• As in the previous article,
the heat sink geometry and
nomenclature used is that
shown Figure 1.
17. Cooling Medium
• By adding a fan to any heat sink it changes from passive
cooling, using ambient airflow, to active cooling.
• Adding a fan to a typical heat sink almost always improves
thermal performance.
• A 50 mm square heat sink with 12 mm hight, for example, has a
thermal resistance of 5 °C/W with natural convection. Adding a
fan drops this resistance to 1.2 °C/W.
• Most demanding applications use liquid cooling in place of air
cooling further improves heat sink performance.
• To dissipate 1000 watts of heat with a 10 °C temperature rise
would take thousands of times less volumetric water flow than
airflow.
• Liquid cooling can dissipate more heat with considerably less
flow volume,
• maintain better temperature consistency, and
• do it with less local acoustic noise.
24. Closure
• a fan with a different fan curve is employed, the flow rates will change and the
optimum heat sink design point may change as well.
• The important point is that to determine how a heat sink will perform in a given
application both its heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics must be
considered in concert with the pressure-flow characteristics of the fan that will be
used.
• It should also be noted that an underlying assumption is that all the flow
delivered by the fan is forced to go through the channels formed between the heat
sink fins.
• Unfortunately this is often not the case and much of the air flow delivered by the
fan will take the flow path of least resistance bypassing the heat sink.
• Under such circumstances the amount of flow bypass must be estimated in order
to determine the heat sink performance.
25. Design Optimization
• One modify several independent variables to improve heat sink
performance with respect to your design criteria.
• A larger heat sink surface area, for example, will improve
cooling, but may increase the cost and lead-time.
• Using the entire volume available will provide maximum
cooling, but if this provides more cooling than necessary, you
can reduce the heat sink volume to reduce its cost and its
weight.
• Increasing the base thickness distributes heat more uniformly to
the fins if the package is smaller than the heat sink, but
increases weight.
• The interface material can have a significant affect on assembly
costs as well as on thermal resistance.
• Thicker fins, on the other hand, provide more structural
integrity and may be easier to manufacture, but increase the
weight for a given thermal resistance.
26. Design Optimization
• A heat sink that cools adequately fulfills only part of the
objective.
• Optimizing the design creates the best available heat sink
solution for the application and benefits the overall system
design.
• Some advantages of optimization include:
• minimization of thermal wake effects: the impact of heat sinks
on downstream components
• accommodation of changes in system CFM due to additional
heat sink pressure drop
• weight reduction to pass shock and vibration tests
• elimination of extra heat sink support (additional holes and real
estate in the PCB)
• reduction of costs gained from use of the same heat sink for
multiple components and use of off-the-shelf catalog parts.
