عنوان المقالة:An experimental and analytical study to show the Effect of the reinforced carbon fiber percentages on the epoxy thermal conductivity and the heatsink performance An experimental and analytical study to show the Effect of the reinforced carbon fiber percentages on the epoxy thermal conductivity and the heatsink performance
The main purpose of this paper is that showing the enhancement of thermal conductivity
of the epoxy with many percentages of carbon fiber into it. In addition to pure epoxy and pure
carbon fiber, three percentages of carbon fiber are used in this study, which are 20, 40, and 60%,
respectively. All of these samples are tested at different values of applied powers (input power)
(10, 25, 40, 55, and 70 W). A comparison between pure epoxy, pure carbon fiber and the
composites that involve all these percentages is done. In addition, the study involves the effect of
these simples on the performances of both Aluminum and cooper heat sinks.
It is shown from the results that increasing in fiber carbon percentage leads to increasing in
thermal conductivity of composite, heat sink junction temperature, overall heat sink efficiency,
and density of composite. The increasing in overall heat sink efficiency leads to decrease the
height of heat sink, and consequently decreasing its cost. For instance at 70 W power input,
increasing the fiber carbon percentage(from 0 to 100%) for each material of heat sink, leads to
decrease the average fin length by 48% ,decrease the manufacturing cost by 47%, increase in
junction temperature by 65 %, and increase fin efficiency by 2.5 %.
