Experimental Study on Cooling of an Electronic Component in a Vertical Duct by Free and Forced Convection
The purpose of this study is to compare experimentally three electronic components : A Flat Plate, A Pinned Surface – similar to a tubular heat exchanger, A Finned Surface – similar to the fins on air-cooled engines or electrical heat sinks, in both heat transfer modes (free and forced) from the point of view Nusselt Number for forced and free convection by using TecQuipment's free and forced convection apparatus, by imposing a constant thermal flux of different values while calculating the cooling efficiency indicators as: the convective heat exchange coefficient (h), the number of Nusselt (Nu), and the average temperature Tm. This experimental study showed that the forced convection beam plate, is the best point of view cool it as is illustrated in the chapter of calculation.
