| Abstract | Efficient analysis of heat sink performance is a crucial step in the optimization process of such devices. Accurate analysis of these complex geometric systems with CFD and FE methods requires fine meshes, which imply significant computational time. In this study, Volume Averaging Theory (VAT) is rigorously applied to obtain a geometrically simplified but physically accurate model for any periodic heat sink geometry. The governing equations are averaged over a Representative Averaging Volume (REV) to obtain a set of integro-differential equations. Some information about lower level phenomena is lost in every averaging process and a closure scheme is required to model these behaviors. Experimental data for friction factor and Nusselt number in an REV is used to close the set of PDEs. This mathematical process replaces the complex geometry of the heat sink with a fictitious continuous medium and smoothens the quantities of interest throughout the system. These system features allow the use of a global Fourier-Galerkin method to efficiently solve the resulting equations and accurately predict the performance of the system. The effectiveness of the method is proven by applying it to model thermal behavior for laminar flow over an air-cooled pin-fin heat sink and a water-cooled micro-channel heat sink. The convergence in the Nusselt number in the case of constant heat flux is found to be quadratic with respect to the number of basis functions. The accuracy of the method is validated by comparing the numerical results obtained to existing experimental data. The maximum difference between the predicted Nusselt number and the experimental measurements is found to be only 4% for both cases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
