This article presents a numerical simulation of a heatsink with a large number of square pin-fins using the finite element method. The two-phase mixture method is employed to simulate the nanofluid flow. The results show that an increment in the Reynolds number reduces the temperature of the nanofluid exiting the heatsink significantly, while increasing the volume fraction of nanoparticles slightly decreases it.
This article presents a numerical simulation of a heatsink with a large number of square pin-fins using the finite element method. A nanofluid passes helical microchannel that is placed inside the heatsink. The two-phase mixture method is employed to simulate the nanofluid flow. The space between the pin-fins and the micro channel in the heatsink is filled with phase change material (PCM). The values of the heatsink temperature (T HK), including the maximum and average temperature, the temperature of the nanofluid (T-NF) exiting the heatsink, the molten PCM fraction, and the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) are estimated by changing the Reynolds number (Re) ranging from 100 to 500 and the volume fraction of nanoparticles (9) varying from 0 to 3% up to 500 s. The results demonstrate that an increment in the Re reduces the T-NF exiting the heatsink significantly; however, enhancing the amount of 9 decreases it slightly. In 500 s and 250 s, an enhancement in the Re from 100 to 500 intensifies the maximum T-HK by 17.28 and 9.92 degrees C, respectively. At Re = 100, 200, and 300, the PCM melting process starts in approximately 150, 200, and 250 s, respectively.
