Experimental Study of Natural Convection Cooling of Vertical Cylinders with Inclined Plate Fins
Abstract: In this paper, natural convection from vertical cylinders with inclined plate fins is investigated experimentally for use in cooling electronic equipment. Extensive experimental investigations are performed for various inclination angles, fin numbers, and base temperatures. From the experimental data, a correlation for estimating the Nusselt number is proposed. The correlation is appl...
متن کاملRadiative cooling for concentrating photovoltaic systems
Radiative cooling, a unique and uncommon passive cooling method for devices operating outdoors, has recently been demonstrated to be effective for photovoltaic thermal management. In this work, we investigate the effect of radiative cooling as a complement to existing passive cooling methods like convective cooling in a related system with much higher heat loads: a high-concentration photovolta...
متن کاملCompletely passive natural convection
Natural convection is a basic process which is important in a wide variety of practical applications [1,2]. In essence, a heated fluid expands and rises from buoyancy due to decreased density. Numerous papers have been written on natural or mixed convection in vertical ducts heated on the side. The effects of added viscous dissipation heat have been considered [3–8]. The fluid motions in all pr...
متن کاملStudy on the performance of cooling composite materials for liquid-immersed concentrating photovoltaic systems
According to the aging phenomenon that di-methyl silicon oil working as a cooling material for liquid-immersed concentrating photovoltaic system for long time. In this paper, the method that enhances the weather-resistance of silicon oil by adding additives was proposed. Hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone (UV-9) and a hindered amine light stabilizer named GW-783 were selected as additive to prepare...
متن کاملAssessment of Thermal Performance of Electronic Enclosures with Rectangular Fins: a Passive Thermal Solution
Passive heat transfer from enclosures with rectangular fins is studied both experimentally and theoretically. Several sample enclosures with various lengths are prepared and tested. To calibrate the thermal measurements and the analyses, enclosures without fins (“bare” enclosures) are also prepared and tested. Surface temperature distribution is determined for various enclosure lengths and heat...
