... the model is applicable to any kind of heat sink, as a case study, results are presented for in-line square pin fin heat sinks. Results were compared with the predictions from a two-branch bypass model and previous experimental data. It is shown that tip leakage effects are important in setting the overall...

...Luis A. Brignoni; Suresh V. Garimella, Mem ASME, Associate Professor, Experimental measurements were obtained to characterize the thermal performance of ducted air suction in conjunction with a pin-fin heat sink. Four single nozzles of different diameters and two multiple-nozzle arrays were studied...
