For this project I explored how water cooling block geometry and material affected heat transfer and effectiveness when cpu cooling.
I simulated 3 different configurations
Aluminum waterblock without fins
Aluminum waterblock with fins
Silver waterblock with fins
Each design was tested using transient Solidworks thermal and fluid simulations to determine the average CPU temperature over a 120 second period
