AIM: PERFORM STEADY-STATE THERMAL ANALYSIS

Problem Description:
Heat sinks are commonly used to enhance heat dissipation from electronic devices. In the case
study, we conduct thermal analysis of a heat sink made of aluminium with thermal conductivity k
= 170 W/(m K), density ρ = 2800 kg/m3 , specific heat c = 870 J/(kg K), Young’s modulus E =
70 GPa, Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.3, and thermal expansion coefficient α = 22 × 10−6/°C. A fan forces
air over all surfaces of the heat sink except for the base, where a heat flux q′ is prescribed. The
surrounding air is 28°C with a heat transfer coefficient of h = 30 W/(m2 °C).

Objective:Study the steady-state thermal response of the heat sink with an initial temperature of
28°C and a constant heat flux input of q′ = 1000 W/m2.

Steady-State Thermal Analysis

Step 1: Start an ANSYS Workbench Project Launch ANSYS Workbench and save the blank
project as HeatSink.wbpj.

Step 2: Create a Steady-State Thermal Analysis System Drag the Steady-State Thermal icon from
the Analysis Systems Toolbox window and drop it inside the highlighted green rectangle in the
Project Schematic window.

Step 3:Add a New Material Double-click on the Engineering Data cell to add a new material. In
the following Engineering Data interface which replaces the Project Schematic, type
“Aluminum” as the name for the new material, and double-click Isotropic Thermal Conductivity
under Thermal in the Toolbox window. Change the Unit to “Wm^-1K^-1” and enter “170” for
Isotropic Thermal Conductivity in the Properties window. Click the Return to Project button to go
back to Project Schematic.

Step 4: Launch the Design Modeler Program Double-click the Geometry cell to launch Design
Modeler, and select “Millimeter” in the Units pop-up window.
Step 5: Create a Profile Sketch Click on the Sketching tab. Select the Draw toolbox and draw a
2D profile as shown below.
Step 6:Create an Extruded Body Switch to the Modeling tab and click on the Extrude feature.
The default Base Object is set as Sketch1 in the Details of Extrude1. Change the extrusion depth
to 15 mm in the field of FD1, Depth and click Generate. A solid body is created as shown below.

Step 7:Launch the Steady-State Thermal Program Double-click on the Model cell to launch the
Steady-State Thermal program. Click on the Solid under Geometry in the Outline tree. In the
Details of “Solid,” click to the right of the Material Assignment field and select Aluminum from
the drop-down menu.

Step 8:Generate Mesh Right click on Mesh in the Project Outline. Select Insert and then Sizing
from the context menu. In the Details of “Face Sizing,” enter “5e-4 m” for the Element Size.
Click on the top, bottom surfaces, and the side walls of the guitar in the Graphics window and
apply the five faces to the Geometry selection.In the Details of “Mesh,” select Dropped for the
Element Midside Nodes under the advanced option. This helps reduce the total number of nodes
to an acceptable level not exceeding the requested resources of educational licenses. Right-click
on Mesh and select Generate Mesh.
Step 9:Apply Boundary Conditions Right-click on Steady-State Thermal (A5). Choose Insert and
then Heat Flux from thecontext menu. Apply a heat flux of 1000 W/m−2 to the base of the heat
sink.Right-click on Steady-State Thermal (A5). Choose Insert and then Convection from the
context menu. In the Details of “Convection,” enter 30 W/(m2 °C) for Film Coefficient and 28°C
for Ambient Temperature to all surfaces (a total of 29 faces) except for the base of the heat sink.

Results:
Solve and Retrieve Results Right-click on Solution (A6) in the Outline, and insert Temperature,
Total Heat Flux, and Directional Heat Flux to the solution outline. In the Details of “Directional
Heat Flux,” set the Orientation to Y.

AIM: PERFORM TRANSIENT THERMAL ANALYSIS

Problem Description:
Heat sinks are commonly used to enhance heat dissipation from electronic devices. In the
case study, we conduct thermal analysis of a heat sink made of aluminum with thermal
conductivity k = 170 W/(m-K), density ρ = 2800 kg/m3 , specific heat c = 870 J/(kg-K),
Young’s modulus E = 70 GPa, Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.3, and thermal expansion coefficient α =
22 × 10−6/°C. A fan forces air over all surfaces of the heat sink except for the base, where a
heat flux q′ is prescribed. The surrounding air is 28°C with a heat transfer coefficient of h =
30 W/(m2°C).
Suppose the heat flux is a square wave function with period of 90 s and magnitudes
transitioning between 0 and 1000 W/m2.

Objective:Study the transient thermal response of the heat sink in 180 s by using the steady-
state solution as the initial condition.

Procedure:
Step 1:Add a Transient Thermal Analysis System Drag the Transient Thermal icon from the
Analysis Systems Toolbox window and drop it onto the Solution cell of the highlighted
Steady-State system in the Project Schematic.
This creates a Transient Thermal system that shares data with Steady-State Thermal system.
The temperature distribution from the Steady-State Thermal analysis is now the initial
temperature for the Transient Thermal analysis. If the initial temperature is uniform for the
Transient Thermal analysis, then this data sharing is not needed.

Step 2:Add Material Properties Double-click on Engineering Data of Steady-State Thermal.

Add a Density of 2800 kg/m3 and Specific Heat of 870 J/(kg K) to the Properties of
Aluminum. Click Return to Project.

Step 3:Set Up Transient Thermal Analysis Double-click on the Setup cell of the Transient
Thermal system to launch the Multiple Systems–Mechanical program. Click Yes on the pop-
up window to read the modified upstream data. Select Analysis Settings from the Outline
tree. In the Details of “Analysis Settings”, under Step Controls, set the Step End Time to
180s. Change the Auto Time Stepping to On from Program Controlled. Change Defined by to
Time.
The default values for the initial and the maximum time steps are small for this model. Set the
Initial Time Step to 0.1. Set the Minimum Time Step to 0.05. Set the Maximum Time Step to
5. A small-time step will help increase the accuracyof the model and produce enough result
steps so the animation will have smooth transition between solution steps.

Step 4:Apply Cycling Heat Flux Right-click on Transient Thermal (B5). Choose Insert and
then Heat Flux from the context menu. In the Details of “Heat Flux,” change Magnitude to
Tabular Data, and apply the heat flux to the bottom surface of the heat sink as shownbelow.
Click on Tabular Data on the right edge of the Graphics window, and then click on the push
pin labelled Autohide to display the Tabular Data window as shown below. Enter the
following values in the Tabular Data table.

Step 5:Apply Convective Boundary Condition Right-click on Transient Thermal (B5).

Choose Insert and then Convection from the context menu. In the Details of “Convection,”
enter 30 W/(m2°C) for Film Coefficient and 28°C for Ambient Temperature to all surfaces (a
total of 29 faces) except for the base of the heat sink.

Results:
Solve and Retrieve Results Right-click on Solution (B6) in the Outline, and insert
Temperature, Total Heat Flux, and Directional Heat Flux. In the Details of “Directional Heat
Flux,” set the Orientation to Y-axis. Right-click on Solution (B6) and click Solve. Click on
Temperature in the Outline to review the distribution. To show Graph, click on Graph on the
right side of the Graphics window, and then click on the push pin labeled Autohide.
