Fig. 4.11 HFSC tool used for simultaneous action of welding and channeling
roughness of the channel allows a significant cooling efficiency even for low flows,
such as 0.5 l/min. At lower flow rates, the peak temperature in the chassis was about
29.4 °C. Whereas, for the 6.0 l/min the peak temperature in the chassis was 24.6 °C.
Simulated results were also validated by fabricating the curved geometrical chassis
component for electronic components and also compared the efficiency with a similar
channel fabricated by milling. It was found that the HFSC reduced the steady-state
temperature by 30–40%, and at the same time cooling rate during the transient period
was enhanced by 33% than those of the milled channels [65].
4.7 Case Study on FSC
FSC being a very newly invented process, the research to understand the process for its
better utilization is still in its nascent stage. The process has a very high probability
of acceptance by replacing the conventional processes used to manufacture heat
exchangers. Thus, the feasibility to produce better-quality channels to obtain higher
thermal efficiency and fluid flow must be studied thoroughly. Some studies co-relating
