Abstract:
This thesis studies one of the novel technologies in active cooling in ambient temperature operating conditions, synthetic jet actuators. Synthetic jet actuators play an important role in passive-to-active cooling with condensed volumes, and long life-cycle capabilities. Composed of piezo actuated disks and an orifice, synthetic jet actuators excite the inner air volume by agitating piezo disks and creating an airflow. Given their high advantage in cooling performance, low cost of material and production brings synthetic jet to the more feasible alternative in electronics cooling.
To achieve precision and consistency in mechanical aspects of synthetic jet actuators, a manufacturing rig combined with a robotic dispenser and pneumatic pick and place system has been designed and produced. Visual microscope examination for boundary condition validation has been conducted to minimize the uncertainties resulting from mechanical inconsistencies.
In-house manufactured synthetic jet actuators have been tested to measure their mechanical and thermal performance, using laser vibrometer and PID controlled heat transfer test system.
Orifice shape and design have been studied by experimentation and analytical derivations in this thesis. In-house manufactured synthetic jet actuators are also compared with their alternatives, axial fans, where natural convection, forced convection by axial fan, and synthetic jet impingement cases are observed. Later, as a benchmark study, a third-party synthetic jet product has been analyzed and thermally compared with the jets manufactured in this thesis. Finally, a novel packaging study has been performed to create a product with validated driving frequency at the optimum resonant mode shape, and highest cooling performance, using finite element analysis (FEA) for validation and optimization of mechanical aspect and package design of a final product.
