Analytical Modeling of Forced Convection in Slotted Plate Fin Heat Sinks
Abstract
Analytical models are developed for the average heat transfer rate in forced convection-cooled, slotted fin heat sinks. These models for the upper and lower bounds can be used to investigate the effects of slot size and placement on heat sink performance. Experimental measurements are performed for a variety of slot configurations over a range of Reynolds numbers, and these data are compared with the proposed analytical models. An approximate model is proposed that predicts the experimental results for the average heat transfer rate to within a 12% RMS difference.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
