The optimal spacing of parallel plates cooled by forced convection.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The optimal spacing is proportional to the board length raised to the power 1/2, the property group to the power 1/4, and the pressure heat maintained across the stack (DP) to the power 1/4. The maximum total heat transfer rate is proportional to (DP) to the power 1/2, the total thickness of the stack and the maximum allowable temperature difference between the board and the coolant inlet. Board surfaces with uniform temperature and uniform heat flux are considered. It is shown that the surface thermal condition (uniform temperature vs uniform heat flux) has a minor effect on the optimal spacing and the maximum total heat transfer rate.
