Abstract: An active vortex generator adapts to a flow rate of fluid through and/or a heat flux applied through a heat exchanger channel to improve the heat transfer rate of the heat exchanger. In some implementations, the movement of the active vortex generator may be induced by the fluid flow through the heat exchanger channel. In some implementations, the movement of the active vortex generator may be induced through an externally applied force on the active vortex generator. An actuated active vortex generator is particularly suited to heat exchangers with high heat flux dissipation requirements. Locating an actuated active vortex generator proximate to such high heat flux dissipation locations provides for improved heat transfer that can be activated when needed, such as upon operation of a high heat flux component.

Abstract: The capacitor module includes a capacitor, in which a screw hole is arranged on an outer bottom wall surface of a capacitor case housing a capacitor element, and a heat dissipater, on which a plurality of capacitor cases are fixated by screwing fixation screws in the screw holes of the capacitors.

Further, because, an adherence of the outer bottom wall surface of the capacitor case on a fixation surface of the heat dissipater is strengthened by screwing the fixation screw in the screw hole, the capacitor can be cooled down by transferring heat produced by the capacitor to the heat dissipater as needed.

Abstract: Cilia-like micro surface actuators are applied to fins of a heat sink to improve heat dissipation. The surface actuators act as active surface features whose motion disrupts the boundary layer fluid flow by entraining cool fluid towards the heat transfer surfaces of the fins and ejecting relatively warmer fluid away from the surfaces. This disruption reduces the thermal resistance between the heat sink fins and the fluid (e.g., the convection resistance). The motion of the surface actuators also induces a net flow along the surface of the fin(s) and can, therefore, be viewed analogously to a “pump” moving fluid (such as air) over the surface. The surface actuators can be fabricated using plastic microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology and can be actuated to generate their motion using several techniques.
