Abstract

A high brightness LED spot lighting device has been under examination. The device has one multichip LED module which nominal electric power is 15 W. A 3D simulation model has been created and simulated with Comsol Multiphysics software. The temperatures of the LED chip junction, the LED module and the heatsink and have been simulated using a finite-element-method (FEM) software. Simulations have been validated with measurements. Main heat flow paths and the associated thermal resistances in a stationary condition have been resolved. Simulations have been made for the case of external natural and forced external heat convection. Time dependent simulations resolved the time constants of the lamp. The time constants were calculated also by using the thermal resistances and heat capacities of the lamp. Use of thermal grease between the LED module and the heatsink reduces chip temperature. This has also been simulated. Photometric characteristics of the light device, especially luminous flux versus input electrical power and lamp temperature, have been measured. One LED spot light device with a defected LED module was found in photometric measurements and IR-imaging. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Review of Heat Transfer Analysis in Different Cavity Geometries with and without Nanofluids

Farhan Lafta Rashid, Ahmed Kadhim Hussein, Emad Hasani Malekshah, Aissa Abderrahmane, Kamel Guedri, Obai Younis

Summary: Recent studies have explored various strategies to modify heat-transfer rates in closed cavities, such as adding partitions, fins, or altering forms. Experimental and numerical investigations have shown that fin design can enhance heat transmission and accelerate phase change material melting. Additionally, the optimal wind incidence angle for maximum convective heat loss depends on cavity tilt angle and wind speed.

Experimental and numerical investigation on the thermal performance of linear LED housings under forced convection

Mesut Abuska, Seyfi Sevik, Ozgur Ozdilli

Summary: This study experimentally and numerically tested the thermal performance of three different linear housings for medium power LED arrays under various ambient temperatures, showing that Model-3 with inner and outer fins offers lower junction temperature, lower cost, and a safe operating temperature range compared to others. The results demonstrated that the addition of a fan significantly reduced the LED junction temperature, providing a safe operating range and protection against thermal shocks. Forced convection allows the use of smaller housing for lower junction temperature.

Numerical investigation on forced, natural, and mixed convective heat transfer of n-decane in laminar flow at supercritical pressures

Weitong Liu, Guoqiang Xu, Yanchen Fu, Jie Wen, Nan Zhang

Summary: The study investigates the heat transfer characteristics of supercritical n-decane in a laminar flow tube through numerical simulations. It focuses on the coupling law of forced and natural convection in mixed convection. The effects of heat flux and flow direction on heat transfer are examined. The results show that there is deterioration in forced convection when the wall temperature reaches the pseudo-critical temperature, while heat transfer is continuously enhanced in natural convection. Buoyancy has different effects on heat transfer in upward and downward mixed convection flows.

Air-breathing versus conventional polymer electrolyte fuel cells: A parametric numerical study

Fatma Calili-Cankir, Mohammed S. Ismail, Derek B. Ingham, Kevin J. Hughes, Lin Ma, Mohamed Pourkashanian

Summary: Two mathematical models were built to explore the reasons affecting the performance of air-breathing and conventional polymer electrolyte fuel cells. A parametric study revealed that the conventional fuel cell outperforms the air-breathing fuel cell due to higher forced convection-related heat and mass transfer coefficients. The two types of fuel cell respond differently to changes in porosity and thickness of the gas diffusion layer, and the air-breathing fuel cell is more sensitive to membrane thickness.

Experimental investigation of the effect of external forces on convection-driven melting of phase change material in a rectangular enclosure

Hao Liu, Nan Zhang, Zhaoli Zhang, Qiuyi Xia, Yanping Yuan, Xiaoling Cao

Summary: This paper studied the convection-driven melting characteristics of pure phase change material (PCM) under different external force conditions. The results show that external forces have a significant effect on the natural convection of PCM during the melting process and further affect the solid-liquid interface evolution rate, heat transfer rate, and latent heat storage. Applying external force in the opposite direction of the heat flux can enhance the melting process and improve the latent heat storage rate of PCM.

Ram Krishna Shah, Jai Kumar Drave, Sameer Khandekar

Summary: The study investigates the effect of magnetic field on laminar forced convection of ferrofluids through numerical simulations. The presence of magnetic field accelerates upstream flow and decelerates downstream flow, disrupting the boundary layers and enhancing heat transfer. The influence of magnetic field depends on Reynolds number and induced magnetic force, with magnetic force dominating at lower Reynolds numbers.

Furthermore, the switching inconsistency is evaluated by combining the electrical model and the effect of mutual inductance, and it is found that mutual inductance is an important factor influencing electrical parameter distribution.

Bond-pad damage in ultrasonic wedge bonding

Milad Khajehvand, Henri Seppanen, Panthea Sepehrband

Summary: Using SEM/EDX analysis, microscale fracture at the bond-pad is detected during the wedge bonding process of Cu wire to a Cu or Al substrate. It is observed that the fracture of the bond leads to the formation of a bulge on the wire and a cavity in the substrate, causing fracture in the original substrate. 3D optical profiler reveals that the depth, radius, and surface area of the cavity increase with bond time for a constant bond force and power. These metrics are suggested as new factors for optimizing the wedge bonding process. The optimal bonding parameters should maximize the cavity's surface area (related to bond's pull force) while minimizing the cavity's depth relative to the substrate's thickness to avoid substrate damage. Furthermore, Molecular Dynamics simulations propose a potential plastic deformation mechanism for bond-pad damage, suggesting the benefits of using a small-grain-sized substrate, low transducer's vibration amplitude, and high transducer's frequency to minimize the cavity's depth.
