  • Shaped heat sinks to optimize flow
    Patent number: 9854704
    Abstract: A heat sink with shape-optimized fins provides for improved heat transfer. Synthetic jets create vortices which enhance heat transfer and cooling of downstream fins, while the shape of the fins limits pressure drop in the flow over the cooling fins.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 10, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2017
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Pradeep Chandra Babu Salapakkam, Ri Li, Mehmet Arik, William Dwight Gerstler, Bryan Patrick Whalen
