Analysis of LED bulb by mathematical and simulation methods with porous fin material with square-shaped extruded fins in passive cooling mode
Abstract
This paper works on design and developments of cooling system of LED. This work particularly studies on the passive cooling system of a 50W street-light lamp made by multiple LEDs. For analysis purposes, different parameters are considered such as: density, kinematic viscosity, velocity, junction temperature, porosity, heat transfer rate, laminar flow and heat transfer modes. The findings suggest that using squareshaped fins with a 1 mm diameter drill can enhance convection heat transfer, resulting in a 21.8% increase in surface area. Additionally, the "Plus" shape of the fins facilitates the formation of an air swirl, contributing to a 30.41% decrease in heat sink temperature. Furthermore, material porosity enhances cooling rates by generating swirls and promoting upward airflow. Ultimately, square-shaped fins emerge as an optimal solution for passive cooling systems, mimicking the efficiency of active cooling systems. The cooling model, proposed along with different shapes and weights of materials having specially designed fins porous materials, is unique so far in our knowledge.
