2011-04-20: Dr. Peter Rodgers gave an invited talk titled “Optimization of Air Cooled Heat Sinks in Free Convection,” at the Twelfth International Conference on Thermal, Mechanical and Multi-Physics Simulation and Experiments in Micro-Electronics and Micro-Systems (EuroSimE 2011), in Linz Austria, from April 18-20, 2011. This talk presented performance optimization methodologies for passively air-cooled heat sinks as well as design envelopes for various fin design configurations. The focus was on comprehensive optimization strategies that address cost, performance, sustainability and environmental constraints, using coefficients of performance that are based on entropy generation minimization and/or least-energy optimization. The use of such optimization methodologies in conjunction with empirical methods and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling was also discussed.
