Effect of Different Process Parameters and Manufacturing Design of Heat Sink: A Review

Since the last decade, researchers have mainly focused on developing a heat transfer device which has high specific heat transfer. In order to do that, heat sinks were made which have high specific heat transfer compared to other heat transfer devices. It is a type of heat exchanger which is used to extract heat from electronic devices. Heat sinks are very cost effective, reliable, and very easy to handle. For increasing the heat transfer rate, different shapes and arrangements of extended surface, that is fins, were placed on the heat sink. In order to understand the nature of heat transfer through heat sinks and to understand the different process parameters, a review of heat sinks is necessary. Here, in this work, a complete review of heat sinks is done.
