Microscale axial flow Reynolds number |
| Résumé : |
Microscale axial flow fans were investigated in response to the growing cooling requirements of the electronics industry. The two main challenges of this investigation were manufacture of a fully functional fan at the microscale, and performance reduction due to Reynolds number effect. Manufacture of a fully functional axial microfan complete with three-dimensional blade geometry was proven possible using microelectrodischarge machining techniques. Experimental performance measurements proved that Reynolds number effect was not prohibitive at the microscale, and dimensional analysis thereof derived a novel linear scaling method, which quickly and accurately predicted the Reynolds number effect at any fan scale. |
