Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional heat-dissipating fins are used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the heat dissipation efficiency is insufficient due to limitations in geometry and material properties
Solution Approach 1:
The cooling assembly is segmented into multiple blades stacked together to form a series of triangular channels. This segmentation allows gas to flow through multiple channels in sequence, increasing the total heat transfer surface area and improving heat dissipation efficiency while maintaining a relatively simple manufacturing process for each individual blade
Solution Approach 2:
The invention transitions from conventional two-dimensional fin structures to a three-dimensional stacked blade configuration forming triangular channels. This dimensional change enables gas flow through the structure and creates multiple heat transfer surfaces, significantly enhancing heat dissipation capability
2Temperature
If the gas temperature is not controlled, then the internal energy states of gas particles remain high, but the cooling effectiveness is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The invention uses gas flow through the triangular channels formed by stacked blades to transfer heat away from the hot object. The gas acts as a cooling medium, absorbing thermal energy as it passes through the channels, thereby controlling the temperature and reducing the internal energy states of the gas particles

AI summary
Materials, components, assemblies, and methods consistent with the disclosure are directed to the fabrication and use of sheets of material to provide channels for cooling through the flow of gas. An assembly for cooling can include a stack of alternating first and second blades, where each blade exhibits at least a first edge, a beveled edge, and a bend, the bend defining at least a first region and a second region, where the first region is substantially flat and bordered by the edge, the beveled edge, and the bend. An assembly can also include a sheet with folds to provide channels.
