A comprehensive review of the influence of various parameters on convection in different enclosures and heat sinks

Owing to their good efficiency and use as heat exchangers, heat sinks support electronic devices in effective heating dissipation. However, heat dissipation remains a huge challenge to optimum thermal performance of heat sinks. The paper divides into two main broad categories. The first part deals with thermal design and thermal modeling of some various aspects of heat sinks: effects of natural convection heat dissipation mechanisms; geometrical configurations of heat sinks; and intake and outflow positions. The study broadens to the core materials, flat fins (particularly FPFHS and PFHS fins), and porous fins. Multi-wicks and multi-medium heat sinks are investigated, and a comprehensive analysis of the attributes affecting heat transfer and the efficacy of heat dissipation in these mechanisms is also provided. The latter portion examines interior heating by examining several indoor geometries, including cylindrical, circular, rectangular, and hexagonal forms, and evaluating their influence on heat transport. Additionally, empirical investigations examining enclosures with diverse fin designs are evaluated, along with the impact of interior layouts on different fin arrangements for both natural and mixed convection. The project encompasses multiple research initiatives aimed at developing a framework for the continued investigation of heat sinks within cavities. This work offers insightful recommendations for scientists and researchers, providing fundamental understanding of heat sinks and cavitation Procedures. The use of cavitation-based technologies in operations enhances the heat transfer efficiency of heat sinks, specifically heat exchangers employed for cooling electrical equipment, hence accelerating the research process. Their principal attributes, including cost efficiency, good heat dissipation, and ease of production, account for the advantages.
