    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.

    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
      @CMircea 4 года назад +5

      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.

    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!

    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.

    Very nice video but I have 2 remarks: @6:50 the vapor moves to the opposite end because vapor goes up and the pipes are designed to have a little elevation so the vapor could go to the end that is getting airflow from the fans.
    @8:10 you say that water cooling is better because water has higher heat capacity? First heat capacity is bad for cooling, it actually means that the mass need more energy to increase its temperature which is bad because then the delta T(between air and water for example) isn't as high as it could be therefore the mass conducts less energy (higher the delta T means more energy transferred per second) and also the water in water cooling is just to transfer the heat out of the interior of the computer to the radiator on the exterior, the air still must do the cooling. The advantage is that then you can have bigger heat sink which then of course can transfer more heat to the air with the help of 3 fans (usually) which is not possible inside due to form factor and then the heat sink covering ram slots etc... Air cooling of the similar size is almost the same. Check Noctua, Dark Pro vs liquid coolers.

    Water cooling should* be better in the case of computers. However, unless you're doing a custom loop with a proper cold plate/proper pump, once an AIO cooler reach equilibrium, it can sometimes be worse than air cooling. It's more complicated, less reliable and prone to leaking.
    Not the point of the video, but people put all in one water cooling on a pedestal it doesn't deserve.

    • @Jay-kc2pm

      AIOs and custom loops can handle short load burst better than air coolers, but end up running worse with a sustained load if the radiator doesn't have enough capacity or the room around it heats up.

    Is it possible to use machine learning to improve cooling system for IGBTs? If yes how?

    Very informative video about heat removal. I have one question please. Which type of insulator between a power transistor and a heatsink transfers heat best? Mica, silicone or a ceramic insulator provided that all have thermal paste on both sides?
