Özet

Electronic devices have become an indispensable part of our daily life. Especially portable devices such as mobile phones are one of the things that we always keep with us. Long-term use of small power tools poses performance problems. Especially in long-term use, the increase in the temperature of the device is undesirable and directly affects the performance and life of the device. In this case, it is important to remove the heat from the devices. Although there are different methods for removing heat, it is widely used to remove heat by convection by adding fins to hot surfaces. Especially in small-scale devices, heat can be removed from the devices by convection by using structures called wings and expanded surfaces. For this, large fins with a surface area are added to hot surfaces. In this study, the effect of groove geometry on heat dissipation in rectangular fin structure is evaluated. A 3-dimensional rectangular wing model is created using the student version of ANSYS engineering commercial software. For 400 K surface and 300 K ambient temperature, the flute-free fin efficiency is 78.11% in the reference condition. Then, the effect of rectangular, triangular and circular groove design on fin performance is interpreted. The fin efficiency is compared for each case by adding 1, 2, 3 and 4 rows of grooves in parallel, respectively. It is seen that the highest fin efficiency is achieved with 4 rows of corrugated fin structure for every 3 geometries. It is determined that the efficiency for rectangular, triangular and circular trough structure is 83.047%, 83.106% and 82.89%, respectively. It is understood that the highest efficiency is obtained with the triangular trough.
