Air-cooling characteristics of an electronic-device heat sink have been experimentally and numerically investigated under various operating conditions for air. Flowing air velocities of 0–7:1 m=s were circulated through a wind tunnel with a rectangular section. The lower surface of the wind tunnel w...
