Abstract

Dimples play a very important role in the heat transfer enhancement of electronic cooling systems. In the current paper, the flow and heat transfer characteristics of spherical dimples of non uniform diameter were investigated. The experiment was carried out under laminar forced convection conditions using air as a working fluid. The overall Nusselt number and heat transfer coefficient at different dimple structures were obtained for various inlet air flow rates. From the obtained results, it was observed that the heat transfer coefficient and Nusselt number were high for the plate in which the diameter of dimples increases centrally in the direction of flow as compared to the other cases.
