Investigating the thermal performance of a heat sink with a hybrid fin-metal foam structure filled

with phase change material (PCM) under hyper gravity is the main goal of the article "Thermal
performance of phase change material-based heat sink with hybrid fin-metal foam structure under
hyper gravity conditions" published in the International Journal of Energy Research.

The study's objectives were to identify the ideal heat sink design parameters and assess the impact
of gravity levels on the heat sink's thermal performance. The heat sink was subjected to varied heat
fluxes and gravity levels, and a high-speed centrifuge was used to replicate hyper gravity
circumstances. The study's findings revealed that the heat sink with a hybrid fin-metal foam
structure packed with PCM outperformed conventional heat sinks in terms of thermal performance.
Due to improved contact between the PCM and the fins at higher gravity levels, the heat sink was
found to be more efficient.

According to the study's findings, a hybrid fin-metal foam structure filled with PCM may offer a
promising alternative for high-performance heat management systems, particularly for uses that
need for high gravity operation. A wide surface area for heat transfer is provided by the heat sink's
hybrid fin-metal foam structure, which also comprises metal foam with a high surface area to
volume ratio. Fins are added to this structure to increase the area of contact between the heat sink
and the air around it. The storage and release of thermal energy is made possible by the PCM's
integration into the metal foam.

To further assess the heat sink's thermal performance, computer simulations were also run as part
of the study. The models and experimental findings were in good agreement, demonstrating the
efficiency of the heat sink design.
