| dc.description.abstract | The miniaturization and integration of electronic devices have led to increased power densities, creating significant thermal management challenges. Traditional heatsinks are often inadequate for dissipating the elevated heat flux densities, potentially reaching up to 10,000 W cm⁻², which can result in performance degradation and device failure. This study investigates the enhancement of heatsink performance through nanocoatings of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), gold (Au), aluminum (Al), and iron (Fe) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The research aims to determine the impact of these nanomaterials on heat transfer rates, thermal resistance, and overall heatsink performance. Simulations with Ansys software model the thermal behavior of both uncoated and nanocoated heatsinks under specific conditions, including a constant heat flux of 10,773.6877 W/m³ and a base temperature of 300 K. Results show that nanocoated heatsinks significantly outperform their uncoated counterparts, with silver nanocoating achieving the highest efficiency by delaying the temperature rise to 70°C by 179% compared to uncoated heatsinks. Copper, gold, aluminum, and iron nanocoatings also demonstrate notable heat dissipation improvements. The study underscores the potential of nanocoatings to enhance thermal management in electronic devices, enabling further miniaturization and performance growth while ensuring reliability and longevity, thereby contributing to the development of advanced cooling solutions and offering insights for optimizing thermal management systems in high- performance electronics. | |
