- The Diamond Ring Solution. The processing chip on the computer that controls the navigation equipment on your spacecraft is overheating. Unless you fix the problem, the chip will be damaged and the navigation system will shut down. You open the panel and find that the small copper disk that was supposed to bridge the gap between the smooth top of the chip and the cooling plate is missing, leaving a 2.0 mm gap between them. In this configuration, the heat cannot escape the chip at the required rate. You notice by the thin smudge of thermal grease (a highly thermally conductive material used to promote good thermal contact between surfaces) that the missing copper disk was 2.0 mm thick and had a díameter of 1.2 cm. You know that the chip is designed to run below 65 °C, and the copper cooling plate is held at a constant 5.0 °C.

This study introduces innovative fin structures comprising longitudinal fins and cylindrical rings to enhance heat transfer. Comparative experiments are initially designed to assess the thermal performance of various Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS).
