AN ANALYSIS OF POROUS MEDIA HEAT SINKS FOR NATURAL CONVECTION COOLED MICROELECTRONIC SYSTEMS. Engineering Project by: Eric Savery Main Advisor: Ernesto Gutierrez-Miravete Final Report
Project Objectives • The Purpose of this was to determine effect porous material has when used as a heat sink in microelectronic devices. This includes determining the following: • Effect Porosity: • Effect of Permeability • Comparison Different Permeability/Porosity Combinations. • Comparison of Porous Material vs Non-porous Material Heat Sinks
Porous Material • Porosity: (ε) is also known as void fraction, is the measure of voids or spaces inside a material • Permeability: (κ) is the measure of the ability of a material to transmit fluid though itself
How does Porous Material Effect Heat Transfer • Flow through Porous Material Heat Transfer through Porous Material
