The main techniques for the enhancement of heat transfer between a solid wall and a fluid
are reviewed for both single phase (liquid and gas) and two-phase (boiling and …

Power consumption from electrical devices increases year upon year, and as a result
thermal management of power electronics is becoming ever more relevant. This review …

The present work experimentally and numerically investigates the local heat transfer
enhancement induced by a piezoelectric fan interacting with a cross flow in a local heated …

Piezoelectric fans have been widely considered for electronics cooling as a stand-alone
cooling device with its advantages over conventional rotary fans, such as low power …

This paper presents the experimental and numerical studies on the convection heat transfer
enhancement of air channel flow using a piezoelectric fan. Significant improvements in …

In this study, the characteristics of the three-dimensional heat and fluid flow fields generated
by the vibrating fan are examined by performing numerical simulations and experimental …

This paper reports on the dissipation of heat generated by a high power LED array using
piezoelectric fans. Both numerical and experimental studies were carried out to evaluate the …

Air-cooled heat sinks are widely used for microelectronics cooling. Piezoelectrically-driven
agitators and synthetic jets (syn-jets) have been reported as good options in enhancing heat …

An experimental method was used to study the thermal-fluid characteristics of plate-fin heat
sinks cooled by a piezoelectric fan. The fan configuration, the fan location, and the heat sink …

Piezoelectric fans consist of a thin flexible blade attached to a vibrating piezoelectric patch,
and provide an effective means of enhancing the heat transfer in low convective regions. In …
