Abstract:
Purpose - To numerically model forced convection heat transfer over arrays of solder balls. Design/methodology/approach - The characteristic based split (CBS) scheme has been used to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on unstructured meshes. Findings - The results show an increase in heat transport with increase in Reynolds numbers. A significant change in heat transfer is also noticed with change in angle of attack. Originality/value - The presented results will be useful in designing cooling systems for electronic components.Keywords: Convection; Solder; Heat Transfer
