Heat transfer and aerodynamic drag of novel small-sized heat sinks with lamellar fins, designed for electronic cooling, were experimentally investigated under conditions of forced convection in the range of Reynolds numbers 1 250-10 500. It was found that a gradual reduction in the fin spacing from 6 mm to 3 mm with a 29° angle of taper between the outermost fins leads to an increase in the heat transfer intensity by 15-32% with a significant increase in aerodynamic drag compared to the surface with a constant fin spacing of 6 mm. Incomplete cross-section cutting of fins at the relative depth of 0.6 in addition to the gradual reduction in the fin spacing provides aerodynamic drag decrease by 520% and increase of heat transfer intensity by 1820% in comparison with the similar heat sink without fins cutting. Proposed novel designs of heat sinks enabled us to decrease by 7°С–16°С the maximum overheating of the heat sink's base in the flow speed range from 2.5 m/s to 7.5 m/s at constant heat load. To ensure a constant value of maximum overheating of the heat sink base the inlet flow velocity for the surface with constant fin spacing should be 1.6-2 times higher than that for the heat sink with 29° taper angle between outermost fins and partially fins cutting. In this case, the aerodynamic drag for the latter will be higher only by 1.6-2.7 times, which is quite acceptable.References
