Abstract

In this study, a commercial heat sink was employed for cooling a PC processor. Two liquids were used (i) water and (ii) copper oxide (II) nanofluids with 0.0086 and 0.0225 volume fractions. In the experiments, the heat sink was fixed to the CPU. The maximal power dissipated by the investigated processor was 115 W. The mass ...
