I feel it like my hair fall upon my shoulder

[@SimscaleSimulation]

A few more details from the simulation results: 1. In the pin heat sink design, the flow is more uniform, i.e., the entire cross section of the cavity sees a similar flow velocity. The temperature at the heat sink faces is also higher and more uniform across the block as a result of an improved heat transfer capacity. 2. Determining the pressure drop reduction across the cooling block also helps calculating the hydraulic power required and therefore the selection of a suitable pump for the job.

[@RafaAelM]

wouldn't a tear drop shape cooling fin lower even more the pressure?

[@Unb3arablePain]

My senior year in 2018 the professor for our Thermal Fluids Design course gave a group the final project of designing the proper water cooled system for his PC (He gave full specs) he was building, simply so he did not have to do it himself. It was a genius project and it's cool a guy nearing 70 was building a water cooled PC. He also worked on ballistic missiles during his heydays and presented the unqiue design challenge of trying to cool a massive guidance computer in a vacuum. Essentially, following launch until space the computer shuts off, then resumes during targeting but since it has to last only several minutes the tiny radiative cooling setup was enough!

9:08 The last thing you want when transferring heat is a thick layer of thermal paste. You want the layer to be as thin as possible to get the heat away faster. In low thermal density scenarios you can get away with a thicker thermal pad (CPU VRM), but with the CPU itself you squeeze the paste thin.

[@CMircea]

Exactly, it is desirable to have the part being cooled have a direct contact with the heat sink / water block. Because the parts are not completely flat (at a microscopic level), the thermal paste is used to fill in the gaps to get a larger contact area, rather than having microscopic pockets of air.

[@EngineeringMindset]

Agreed that's why we used this as the base design and then altered this to show just how much impact changes like this can make.

[@CMircea]

Heatsinks that cool especially energy-hungry components (such as CPUs or GPUs in computers) will usually have a copper core with aluminium fins. The thermal conductivity of copper is greater than that of aluminium, so it is used to distribute more heat faster to the aluminium fins. Full copper heatsinks do exist, but they are very expensive and very heavy, they're generally not worth the cost.

i like the analogies that you use like voltage and pressure, current and water flowing through a pipe. can there be more examples for more components?

[@RyanTosh]

That's a rather common model for electricity, so most components can be fit into it: - Capacitors would be like water tanks - Inductors would be like water wheels - Resistors would be like tighter parts of the pipe - Batteries/power sources would be like a pump - Diodes would be like a one-way valve

[@FreeOfFantasy]

I think in the part about the thermal capacity of water you should also have mentioned the density difference and the difference in thermal conductivity. The way higher density and thermal conductivity of water is what enables water to carry that much more heat away. Sure the 4x more energy per K/kg is also helpful but that would just require more flow. The conductivity of 0.5918 W*m^-1*K^-1 vs 0.02535 and the density of 1 kg/cm^3 instead of 1.1/1000 kg/cm^3 is that was is doing more of the work in making the coolers smaller and more powerfull.

We designed and built sensors using beta decay, near IR, xray , spectrophotometers and a few other camera type instruments. Dirt and temperature cause drift and need to normalized. Using milspec components helps surviveability. Water cooling requires heat exchangers and is very effective but requires expensive closed loop components. Using air works but also typically requires air dryers and filters. Wet dirty air is death. Water leaks ouch. Having a product fill with water is not good. Dripless connectors and leak tests for soldered fittings and over pressure tests might help. The most fun for source and detectors is keeping windows clean. Bernouli hold downs air knifes are just a few. Shipping inadequate designs can kill a company and careers.

You did not even mention the reason digital semiconductors produce heat: Gate capacity. Every time a transistor switches the gate capacity has to be charged or discharged. This is why the power usage increases linear with frequency at the same voltage. The capacity of a single MOSFET is very small but because of the high frequency and huge amount of transistors it will generate the most heat in modern CPUs.
