The reliability and life of an Optical Data Link transmitter are inversely related to the temperature of the LED. It is therefore critical to have efficient packaging from the point of view of thermal management. For the ODL® 200H devices, it is also necessary to ensure that all package seals remain hermetic throughout the stringent military temperature range requirements of −65 to +150°C. For these devices, finite element analysis was used to study both the thermal paths due to LED power dissipation and the thermally induced stresses in the hermetic joints due to ambient temperature changes

The present study deals with transient thermal management using phase change materials (PCMs). These materials can absorb large amounts of heat without significant rise of their temperature during the melting process. This effect is attractive for passive thermal management, particularly where the device is intended to operate in a periodic regime, or where the relatively short stages of high power dissipation are followed by long stand-by periods without a considerable power release. Heat transfer in PCMs, which have low thermal conductivity, can be enhanced by fins that enlarge the heat transfer area. However, when the PCM melts, a layer of liquid is growing at the fins creating an increasing thermal resistance that impedes the process. The present work aims to demonstrate that performance of a latent-heat thermal management unit may be considerably affected by achieving a so-called close-contact melting (CCM), which occurs when the solid phase is approaching a heated surface, and only a thin liquid layer is separating between the two. Although CCM was extensively studied in the past, its possible role in finned systems has been revealed only recently by our group. In particular, it depends heavily on the specific configuration of the fins. In the present work, close-contact melting is modeled analytically for a geometry which includes two symmetrically inclined fins. A quasi-steady approach is used for calculating the rate of melting based on the force and energy balances. The results are expressed in terms of the time-dependent melt fraction and Nusselt number, showing their explicit dependence on the Stefan and Fourier numbers. Moreover, the approach used in the present study may be applied to other geometries in which the heated surface is not horizontal or where there are a number of heated surfaces or fins.

Steady state and transient thermal management in a portable telecommunication product was investigated. The steady state analysis portion will be discussed in details in Part 1. The investigation was conducted using finite element analysis (FEA) simulation on a cellular phone model. The three-dimensional simulation is based on a solid conduction cellular phone model cooled by natural convection and radiation. The FEA simulation method was verified with experimental results. In this paper, simulation study was carried out to examine various thermal solution options to improve on the heat transfer from the package to the surrounding. As conduction is the predominant heat transfer within the cellular phone, the thermal resistance can be reduced by creating a solid conduction path between the heat dissipating packages with the housing wall and improving the housing wall conduction material.

AbstractThermal switches have gained intense interest recently for enabling dynamic thermal management of electronic devices and batteries that need to function at dramatically varied ambient or operating conditions. However, current approaches have limitations such as the lack of continuous tunability, low switching ratio, low speed, and not being scalable. Here, a continuously tunable, wide-range, and fast thermal switching approach is proposed and demonstrated using compressible graphene composite foams. Large (~8x) continuous tuning of the thermal resistance is achieved from the uncompressed to the fully compressed state. Environmental chamber experiments show that our variable thermal resistor can precisely stabilize the operating temperature of a heat generating device while the ambient temperature varies continuously by ~10 °C or the heat generation rate varies by a factor of 2.7. This thermal device is promising for dynamic control of operating temperatures in battery thermal management, space conditioning, vehicle thermal comfort, and thermal energy storage.

In the process of vehicle development, the unsteady simulation of thermal management system is very important. A 3D-CFD calculation model of vehicle thermal management is established, and simulations were undertaken for uphill with full loads operations condition. The steady results show that the surface heat transfer coefficient increases to the quadratic parabolic relationship. The unsteady results show that the pulsating temperatures of exhaust and external airflow are higher than about 50°C and lower than 10°C, respectively, and the heat dissipating capacities are higher than about 11%. Accordingly, the conversion equivalent exhaust velocity increased by 1.67%, and the temperature distribution trend is basically the same as unsteady results. The comparison results show that the difference in the under-hood should be not noted, and that the predicted exhaust system surface temperatures using steady velocity equivalent method are low less 10°C than the unsteady results. These results show the steady velocity equivalent method can be used to predict the unsteady heat transfer effect of vehicle thermal management system, and the results obtained by this method are basically consistent with the unsteady results. It will greatly save computing resources and shorten the cycle in the early development of the vehicle thermal management system.

Two-tank metal hydride pairs have gained tremendous interest in thermal energy storage systems for concentrating solar power plants or industrial waste heat recovery. Generally, the system’s performance depends on selecting and matching the metal hydride pairs and the thermal management adopted. In this study, the 2D mathematical modeling used to investigate the heat storage system’s performance under different thermal management techniques, including active and passive heat transfer techniques, is analyzed and discussed in detail. The change in the energy storage density, the specific power output, and the energy storage efficiency is studied under different heat transfer measures applied to the two tanks. The results showed that there is a trade-off between the energy storage density and the energy storage efficiency. The adoption of active heat transfer enhancement (convective heat transfer enhancement) leads to a high energy storage density of 670 MJ m−3 (close to the maximum theoretical value of 755.3 MJ m−3). In contrast, the energy storage efficiency decreases dramatically due to the increase in the pumping power. On the other hand, passive heat transfer techniques using the bed’s thermal conductivity enhancers provide a balance between the energy storage density (578 MJ m−3) and the energy efficiency (74%). The utilization of phase change material as an internal heat recovery medium leads to a further reduction in the heat storage performance indicators (142 MJ m−3 and 49%). Nevertheless, such a system combining thermochemical and latent heat storage, if properly optimized, can be promising for thermal energy storage applications.
