IIT Madras Develops Improved Cooling Design for Compact Electronic Devices
Researchers at IIT Madras have developed a redesigned Flat Plate Pulsating Heat Pipe (FPPHP) to improve cooling in compact electronics like smartphones and laptops. The new antiparallel configuration places heat-absorbing and heat-releasing sections on opposite sides, optimizing space and efficiency. Tests showed that using an O-ring seal reduced thermal resistance by 16% compared to a gasket, and aluminium versions performed about 20% better than copper ones. The design aims to address thermal challenges in modern high-power, small-sized devices.
