Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

"Thermal management" is an emerging industry that has grown rapidly in recent years. Its application areas include computer, communications, optoelectronics, automotive electronics, biomedical, aerospace, energy, and consumer electronics industries. The thermal-heat-dissipated products have a wide range of applications. According to estimates by the market research agency, the heat dissipation market is expected to grow from USD 25 billion to USD 36 billion from 2018 to 2023. In this, Server database centers and 5G-related equipment have the strongest heat-dissipated requirements. All these products have three major characteristics: (A) large market; (B) wide application; (C) many business opportunities. In summary, various application business opportunities can be derived, and related equipment will encounter heat dissipation requirements and market business opportunities as can be expected.

  This Special Issue of "Recent Advances in Cooling of Electronic Components" will contain the results of the most advanced and latest research. It will particularly focus on the development of new generation heat-dissipated component technology and its performance measurement technology, the application of new materials on the heat-dissipated field, and the development of next-generation heat dissipation component technology. The topics covered in this issue comprise, but are not limited to, ‎the following items:

  • Measuring technology for the thermal performance of heat-dissipated elements;
  • New technologies for heat conduction and heat dissipation;
  • Development of new heat dissipated materials;
  • New heat storage systems;
  • Cooling technology of electric vehicle motor and battery;
  • Graphene and ultra-thin vapor chamber application of 5G mobile phone.

The thermal management of electronic devices has become a major problem in recent years. Therefore, there is a growing need for research on many new materials and innovative fluids due to the developing technology and increasing cooling need in electronic systems. In this paper, heat transfer from a plate fin and pin fin type heat sinks that were placed in a water block that are used in electronic systems was investigated. A base fluid (pure water) and 0.1% mass concentration Al2O3-H2O nanofluid were used as cooling fluids. The experiments were carried out for volumetric flow rates varying between 100 and 800 mL/min and heat flux values of 454.54 W/m2 and 1818.18 W/m2. The results demonstrated that the Al2O3-H2O nanofluid on the empty surface provided a maximum improvement of 10.5% in heat transfer compared to the base fluid. In the use of plate finned heat sink, the maximum amount of improvement in heat transfer compared to the empty surface was obtained approximately 64.25% for the base fluid and 82.8% for the nanofluid. A similar comparison was made for the pin-fin heat sink, a maximum thermal improvement of 56.4% in the base fluid and 70.27% in the use of nanofluid was determined. Full article
