Abstract

Overheated electronic components are one of the major concerns, as the device system needs to process multitasking application. Current device for electronic cooling, such as fan-based method, and liquid cooling has major disadvantages on space availability and extra piping for cooling within the thin packaging. Synthetic jet cooling has been introduced with its zero-net mass flux and thin dimension advantages. In this paper, piezo-based synthetic jet has been fabricated using rapid prototyping to determine the resonance frequency by numerical analysis and validate with experimental result. Previous researcher reported that the maximum heat removal occurs at resonance driving frequency that leads to the production of maximum amplitude of the piezo-diaphragm motion. ANSYS® mechanical has been used to determine the model resonance driving frequency. Results show that the resonance driving frequency occurs at 500 Hz. Then, the fabricated synthetic jet was tested using impact testing for Modal Analysis to verify the resonance frequency occurred at 500 Hz. A heated surface was setup at 70 °C and sinusoidal wave was applied to the synthetic jet device for heat transfer experiment at various frequencies. Results show that maximum temperature reduction happens at 500 Hz with 10 °C different.
