2023 Competition Guidelines:
- We are pleased to release the 2023 Competiton Guidelines containing information about the design challenge and design process.
- Make sure to register for the competition at https://forms.gle/gpv56mHtKTLgZRA27 to receive competition updates.
- CAD files for the experimental setup and the heat sink base are stored on github at https://github.com/sdu-multiphysics/heatsinkdesigncompetition
- Please also review the Guidelines from GE on the design for additive manufacturing before starting your design. Your final designs need to meet these requirement to be printable.
- A template for your white paper is provided in Word, but you can also use Latex/Overleaf from https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html, but you should read the word document to understand the required information for this competition. Download
- Questions can be sent to asmeheatsinkchallenge@gmail.com.
2023 White Paper & Model File Submission Information:
Deadline: January 6, 2023 at 11:59 pm Eastern Time
There is a a google form (https://forms.gle/nMhmeNnZZjAchci27) to gather your team information and a Box Folder (https://purdue.app.box.com/f/ec71d59a64934929812825a7b0460911) for uploading your model files.
Before filling out the form, please upload the following files at https://purdue.app.box.com/f/ec71d59a64934929812825a7b0460911 with the naming convention team_name.pdf” (for the white paper) and your model/simulation file as “team_name.*”. Note that you should upload your white paper (as a PDF following the provided template) and also upload the three model files listed below:
- A Simulation File: You may provide your computational model in any common simulation format (e.g., comsol, ansys, etc.).
- STL Format of your Geometry
- STEP Format of your Geometry
As part of this design challenge you will be asked to design, build, and validate an aluminum heat sink made with Additive Manufacturing techniques graciously made available to us by GE. Competition guidelines will be released on September 30, 2022.
After receiving the guidelines, you will then have to prepare a white paper that justifies your design due on Jan 7, 2023. This can be done with preliminary test results, modelling, empirical correlations, etc. The top white papers and designs will be selected to print their part with GE Additive machines in the spring. The semi-finalist teams may need to revise their designs to meet printing requirements during the window of Jan 21 – Feb 4, 2023.
Those heat sinks will then be sent for testing in order to determine the top designs with finalists notified on April 30, 2023. These top teams will receive partial travel support to enable one member to travel to ITHERM (in Orlando, FL from May 30 – June 2, 2023) where they will defend their design in front of industry leaders. From those oral presentations, the champion will be crowned! Good luck!
