The effect of global cross flows on the flow field and local heat transfer performance of miniature centrifugal fans

Journal article

Abstract:: Centrifugal fans are often integrated into thermal management solutions for a range of applications. Consequently, centrifugal fan designs can be subjected to varying environmental conditions, many of which can alter fan performance characteristics and ultimately influence the heat transfer performance of the cooling solution. Global cross flows are a commonly encountered practical operating condition, particularly in the cooling of electronics. Air-cooled electronic enclosures often incorpor...
