This article introduces the paper “OPTIMAL PLATE-FIN DESIGN FOR IMPROVING HEAT DISSIPATION PERFORMANCE OF AUTOMOBILE LAMP REFLECTORS”. 1. Overview: 2. Research Background: Automobile headlamp reflectors experience high temperatures due to heat generated by the lamp and their sealed structure. These high temperatures reduce light output and shorten lamp lifespan, potentially causing thermal shock deformation in
1. Overview: 2. Research Background: The demand for lightweight and cost-effective heat sinks is increasing. Die casting is a common and economical method for producing complex-shaped heat sinks. To reduce weight, a typical approach involves thinning the fins and base of the heat sink. Previous research explored alternative casting methods like semisolid casting, high-density casting,
