Abstract
A thermal management device (401) is provided which comprises a synthetic jet actuator (403) and a heat sink (405) comprising a fin (407). The fin has at least one interior channel (409) defined therein which has first and second openings that are in fluidic communication with each other. The synthetic jet actuator is adapted to direct a synthetic jet into said channel.
Claims22
A thermal management device, comprising:
- a heat sink having first and second opposing ends;
- a synthetic jet ejector which directs a first synthetic jet into said first end of said heat sink;
- a first conduit, in fluidic communication with said synthetic jet ejector, which directs a second synthetic jet into said second end of said heat sink;
- and
- a second conduit, in fluidic communication with said synthetic jet ejector, which directs a third synthetic jet in a direction which is essentially perpendicular to the flow of at least one of said first and second synthetic jets.
