Heat Transfer Enhancement of Plate Fin Heat Sinks – A Review

Heat sinks have been commonly used for cool electrical, electronic and automotive parts in many industrial applications. They are effective in extracting heat at high temperatures from surfaces. The reliability of such systems depends on the temperature of their operation. Heat sinks are important components of most of these devices thermal management systems, such as diodes, thyristor, high power semiconductor devices such as integrated inverter circuits, audio amplifiers, microprocessors or microcontrollers. This paper highlights the use of heat sinks in electronic cooling applications, and discusses relevant literature to enhance the heat transfer efficiency of plate fin heat sinks by modifying the surface, interrupting the boundary layer and shifting the path.
