Parametric Influence on the Thermofluidic Characteristics of the Branched Wavy Heat Sink Ritesh Kumar, Badyanath Tiwary, Pawan Kumar Singh Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications, 2024 The branched wavy heat sink (BWHS) is found as a novel design for heat sink application. The aim of this paper is first to investigate the optimum branch angle by varying the branch angle while keeping the constant parametric value such as pitch, wavelength, and secondary width; the idea was established, and we found that a 45-deg branch angle is the best among other branch angles. After that, we varied the next important parametric value, i.e., secondary width, to know the optimum secondary width. Four secondary pass angle (branch angle) configurations (25 deg, 35 deg, 45 deg, and 55 deg) were proposed and numerically investigated by keeping the constant parametric value. The RNG k–ɛ model has been employed with the full domain model approach in the computational analysis. Further, the optimum branch angle has also been investigated with the varying secondary width. The secondary flowrates were strongly affected in all the cases. The pressure loss increases as the secondary pass angle increases. However, a secondary pass maintains pressure uniformity in the spanwise direction through flow migration. It is clear that raising the secondary pass angle reduces the hot spot region. Finally, the optimum branch angle has also been investigated with varying secondary widths of 0.5 mm, 0.25 mm, and 0.20 mm. According to the thermofluidic study, the BWHS design with 45-deg angle and 0.25-mm secondary width has better heat convection performance among all. With a 2% volumetric concentration of nanofluid, the heat transfer rate improves by about 10% compared to water. As a result, the 45-deg BWHS presents a viable avenue for further study. The heat transfer rate of the microchannel heat sink (MCHS) is greatly aided by secondary flow mixing. The branched wavy heat sinks (BWHSs) under forced convection with water/Al2O3 under the Re = 100–500 have been investigated.
Numerical investigation of thermal and hydraulic performance in novel oblique geometry using nanofluid Badyanath Tiwary, Ritesh Kumar, Poh Seng Lee, Pawan Kumar Singh Numerical Heat Transfer Part A Applications, 2019 To capitalize the advantage of oblique fin heat sink (OFHS) with Al2O3–water nanofluids of different volumetric concentration (1, 2, and 4%), a comprehensive computational analysis has been performed for OFHS with nanofluid through the single-phase modeling. The present investigation focuses on the full domain simulation because the conventional periodic computational model approach is unable to investigate the flow migration effect and predicts higher value of Nusselt number. Apart from the disruption of boundary layer, vortices are observed in the secondary oblique channel due to flow separation that promotes an additional heat transfer enhancement. Higher Severity of the flow migration and hence more non-uniformity of nanofluid flow rate through the primary and secondary channels was observed at higher Reynolds numbers. The increment observed in the average Nusselt number (Nuavg) at Re = 750 for OFHS is about 90% and 115% for water and 4% volumetric concentration of nanofluid respectively compared to conventional SCHS. Also, Al2O3–water nanofluid exhibits about 30% higher enhancement at 4% volumetric concentration at Re = 750 in the OFHS with compared to water. The increase in heat transfer exceeded the pressure drop penalty at all the Reynolds numbers.
