INTRODUCTION
In this time of Covid 19 pandemic, to curb the spread of Covid 19, most
governments have opted to employ quarantine protocols and temporarily shut down their
affected worldwide. Among this number are over 28 million Filipino learners across
academic levels who have to stay at home and comply with the Philippine government’s
quarantine measures (UNESCO, 2020). Therefore, mobile phone usage has become
prevalent when the system shifted to online learning platforms, and people are spending
more time on their phones, increasing their usage time by almost 50% from 2019 to 2020
The researchers found out that consequently, after prolonged periods of time
using mobile phones, constantly using two or more apps at the same time can affect its
efficiency and will exhaust ones battery life affecting your activities. The electrical
resistance to the flow of electrical current during the operation of the electronic devices
through the leads, poly-silicon layers and transistors will result in a significant internal

Theoretical Framework
This section described the theoretical approach for the prediction of a Phone
cooler with thermal sensor performance. The thermal and overall system performance are
defined and developed using a solution for forced convection heat transfer and heat
exchanger theories.
This research was based on Newton’s Law of cooling or Newton’s cooling theory
where he states that “the rate at loss of heat of a hot body is directly proportional to the
difference in temperature between the temperature of the warm body and its surrounding,
provided the difference in temperature is small and the nature of the radiating surface
This will determine if the temperature of the phone will have a significant change
exam after the thermal sensor detects the heat and signals the phone cooler to
automatically start.
This research relied on the thermodynamic principle that heat will flow from a
warmer material into a cooler material until their temperatures equalize. This theory
asserts that there must always be a temperature difference between the media. The heat
lost by the hot medium is equal to the amount of heat gained by the cold medium, except

This chapter presents the relevant literature and studies that the researcher
considered in strengthening the importance of the present study. It also presented the
synthesis of the art to fully understand the research for better comprehension of the study.
A phone cooler cool down the phone or gives relief from heat which is radiated
due to continuous use of phone. The working principle of the cooler is so easy to
understand. Now- a-days power dissipation levels in mobile phones are continue to
increase due to gaming, higher power apps and increased functionality associated with
internet. With this power dissipation level, products such as mobile phones will require
active cooling to ensure that the comfort and reliability perspectives. The current cooling
methodologies of natural convection and radiation limit the power dissipation within a
mobile phone to between 1-2 w depending on size. In this paper, the external portable
mobile phone cooling system has proposed. This system does not need any changes in
designing of mobile phone. It can be used for any types of mobile phone. The proposed
cooling system is portable and reliable in cooling phones. The result of this project shows
up to phone heating can be controlled in any condition without any external higher power
source. It has very less limitations. If the model is connected to phone to provide input
power to it the fan and cool it, it will result in drainage of battery of phone. It will not so
comfortable to use it for long time less than two hours (Chaitanya et al, 2022)
As we know that smart phones are now an important customer product, so its use
is increasing day by day. But at the same time, their app developers (APs) use a lot of
power (especially Android phones / mobiles). But as soon as they consume a lot of
energy, their performance is limited by thermal barriers. In this paper, we are dealing
with the use of bended heat pipe by presenting a compact thermal model and then
performing the experiment with bended heat pipe. Heat-cooled technology has been used
on smart phones, such as the Redmi not 8 pro, Sony Xperia Z5, Samsung Galaxy S8, and
LG G7 and Samsung Galaxy M31s for better cooling performance to reduce APs
temperatures. Bendable heat pipes, which can be bent after fabrication as per the need,
are the unique devices for thermal management. The effect of bending on the drop in
temperature, performance and performance limits has also been investigated. In this
exercise, the effects due to bending are studied by working at three different angles of 0 °,
90 ° and 180 °. In this work, the working of heat pipe was measured in terms of thermal
conductance, which is a reciprocal of thermal resistance. Two heat pipes were used for
their study. The two heat pipes tested were designated as HP1 and HP2. This document
describes the effects of bending on the operation of heat pipes (Rahman, 2020).
A Central Processing Unit (CPU) Fan definitely helps to lessen a CPU’s heating.
Without it, a CPU will not function properly and it will affect the whole computer
system. It is a vital component since it gives the CPU more time to function properly. The
circuits are very compact and layered in the chips, and with electricity moving through
them at the speed of light, a lot of heat gets generated. The power supply also produces
heat as it supplies power to the computer. The role of the computer fan is to pull cooler
air into the computer to cool the hot circuitry, particularly the CPU. If this component
reaches a pre-set temperature, the computer will shut down. This is called a "thermal
check," and mainframes, servers and personal computers all have this protective feature
According to the IEEE Global Spec (n.d.), CPU coolers are heat sinks which are
(CPU).They may include integral fans for active cooling and often fit standard CPU
sockets. Most computers include at least one fan to facilitate the drawing of cool, ambient
air from outside the chassis, the expulsion of warm air from inside, or a combination of
both. Fans may also be used to move warm air across a heat sink in order to be cooled.
What is really the science behind a CPU Fan’s wonder to remove heat from a CPU? As
stated by Kazmeyer (2017), the basic thermodynamic principle behind CPU cooling is
convection. A hot object transfers some of that heat to the air molecules near its surface,
cooling slightly in the process. If the air is moving, then these heated molecules will float
away, allowing cooler air to replace them and absorb more heat. Using a fan forces the air
to move, providing a constant stream of cooler air to absorb heat from the object and
problems. Cooling fans are used to keep the temperature of each internal component at a
safe operating level and speed up the exchange between air heat from internal computer
parts and cool ambient air. The computer cooling fan system is used for cooling purposes
to draw external cooler air into the computer to cool the heated components. When
processors, graphics cards, RAM and other components in computers get hot in high
speed and power consumption environment, the amount of heat generated from these
components has also been increased. These components must be cooled to maintain
within a proper temperature range to keep computer system from overheating, instability,
Although most cooling fans are not reliable to dissipate heat in a faster way, it can
still cool down the phone by removing the waste energy generated from the battery. “The

Without an effective cooling system, our phones could have a system breakdown and

chip surface that enables efficient processor thermal management. Our goal is to
minimize performance degradation from thermal throttling by efficiently using the TEC.
Our solution controls the TEC cooling power adaptively to the runtime workloads and
ambient temperature. To address this challenge, we first need to model the thermal
characteristics of the TEC and the processor chip. Using the system thermal model, we
then need to determine the optimal cooling current and perform adaptive cooling control
convex function of the cooling current and the processor speed, facilitating mathematical
sensors to learn a processor activity factor and adaptively control the cooling power. We
have evaluated the effectiveness of the TEC cooling solution on a smartphone using
representative mobile benchmarks. When running compute-intensive workloads without
the TEC, the processor speed is lowered to the minimum level resulting in significant
lagging. Using the TEC, the processor speed can be maintained close to the maximum
speed; only reduced 1.8% on average with the TEC compared to 19.2% without the TEC.
Our TEC solution achieves the maximum performance at cost of 0.2W cooling power

large performance degradation under the adverse ambient can be saved by using the TEC
but at the cost of higher cooling power consumption (Lee et al, 2017).
Laptop cooler fans reduce the device's operating temperature which both limits
heat exposure to the hardware and makes the device itself more comfortable to use.
Laptops include built-in cooling fans and can be placed on notebook cooler pads to
reduce operating temperature. Prolonged heat exposure and component overheating can
damage a computer's components over time, whereas extreme overheating can actually
break the system. Laptops have limited space to work with for cooling, which makes the
In this paper using of the phase change materials (PCMs) in a micro-channel heat
sink (MCHS) is numerically investigated. The air is first used in heat sink and then four
phase change materials (paraffin wax, neicosane, p116 and RT41) have been used as

(convection and radiation) boundary condition is applied at the top surfaces of heat sink.
The results showed that, using of the phase change materials in micro-channels heat sink
with different configurations lead to enhance the cooling performance of micro heat sink.
The phase change material should be selected according to its melting temperature

addition, day by day the rate of automation is increasing significantly in all the fields; for
example, today’s average new automobile content is about 40% of electronics [Nielsen et
al. (2012)]. The temperature at the junction of an electronics package (chip temperature)
has become the limiting factor determining the lifetime of the package. The most
common method for cooling packages is the use of passive heat sinks or active heat sinks.
Passive heat sinks used in natural convection applications where normal heat dissipation
load is about 5 – 30 W, which are relatively simple, and their usage does not require
external power. Electronic equipment relies on the flow and control of electrical current
the world. Whenever electrical current flows through a resistive element, heat is
generated in that element. An increase in the current or resistance produces an increase in
the amount of heat that is generated in the element. The heat continues to be generated as
long as the current continues to flow. As the heat builds up, the temperature of the
resistive element starts to rise, unless the heat can find a flow path that carries it away
from the element. If the heat flow path is poor, the temperature may continue to rise until
the resistive element is destroyed and the current stops flowing (Kumar and Chopra,
2019).

Song, 2014). Basically, Thermal sensors are used to predict the heat flux in the phone
battery to ensure safety in the device and unwanted disruption on its performance.
In the paper written by Sirmacek and Riveiro (2020) they mentioned that different
noise factors can affect the result of a low-resolution heat sensor. Two of the noise factors
that they mentioned are people and objects exposed to sunlight. To collect the data,
humans and objects were exposed to sunlight for a couple of seconds to generate more
heat. The object or human was removed but the sunlight was still present in the sensor's
field of view (FOV). This was done to see if the sunlight could generate enough heat to
trick the sensor to believe that the object or human was still present in the FOV. Because
the sensor is affected by distance, data was also collected when the sensor was positioned
in different angles, in the ceiling or on the wall. This was done to answer the second
research question. It was believed that placing the sensors in different positions could
result in a better FOV in terms of wideness. Because it could give more angled focus on
the target object instead of the room temperature, meaning that more of the human body
could be captured by the sensors. If more of the human body is captured, the more pixels
in the sensors FOV are occupied, resulting in more focus on the human body rather than
the room temperature. It is mentioned in the user manual Omron (2017) how distance can
be increased by position of the heat source. By placing the heat sensor at a specific
position, it can give the heat source a better position when it is caught by the sensor
elements in data centers like temperature, power, and airflow. These sensors allow data
center managers to monitor and immediately address the issues that may arise. Which is
made possible by wired or wireless temperature sensors. These sensors can be integrated
with data center storage, servers, and large network equipment products. Monitoring
these environmental elements through sensors on server racks enables data center
managers to maintain the necessary airflow, IT load, and cooling adjustments as needed.
These sensors are configured to send alerts should the safe operating temperature be
exceeded. Some Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) systems have remote
monitoring and management features for cooling units. As a response to unstable heat
loads, these systems can automatically make cooling adjustments. This will not only
prolong the life of IT equipment but will also reduce data center cooling costs

However, when tapped with any other nonliving objects which were at equilibrium with

the finger and the electrode due to variation in temperature between both (Gupta, 2022).

are fit for frequency regulation, short-term storage and micro-grid applications, but
expense and down the line, mineral resource issues, still prevent their widespread on the
grid. There are many alternatives with no clear winners or favoured paths towards the
ultimate goal of developing a battery for widespread use on the grid (Grey and Hall,
2020).
To a large extent, these developments have been made possible by the lithium-ion
battery. This type of battery has revolutionized the energy storage technology and
enabled the mobile revolution. Through its high potential, and high energy density and
capacity, this battery type has already contributed to improving our lives, and arguably
will continue to do so in the years to come. However, battery development is very
lithium-based cells. Ever since Alessandro Volta presented his famous “pile” around
1800, tremendous effort has been invested in the development of batteries. Many
scientists and engineers, working in academia, industry, and even independently, have
contributed to this development, realizing that the identification of solutions for efficient
batteries is a highly difficult task. The development has thus been relatively sluggish and
only very few efficient battery configurations have been successfully designed over the
years. For example, we still rely on the lead–acid battery discovered in the mid-19th
science, etc., these challenges could indeed be met, and the lithium-ion battery becomes a
reality that essentially changed our world. The working principle of a battery is relatively
straightforward in its basic configuration. The cell is composed of two electrodes, each
charged species. Frequently, the electrodes are physically separated by a barrier material
that prevents them from coming into physical contact with one another, which would
cause the battery to short-circuit. In the discharge mode, when the battery serves to drive
the electric current, an oxidation process takes place at the negative electrode (anode),
resulting in electrons moving from the electrode through the circuit. A complementary
reduction process takes place at the positive electrode (cathode), replenished by electrons
from the circuit. The cell voltage largely depends on the potential difference of the
electrodes, and the overall process is spontaneous. For rechargeable (secondary) batteries
the process can be reversed and external electricity can be used to produce
Lithium ion battery is an efficient energy storage and conversion device in our
daily life and industry production. Several problems still limit its wider application, such
as the low reversible capacity, short cycle life, slow charging rate, safety issues, etc. For
example electrodes materials suffer from large volume change during electrochemical
cycling, leading to fracture and pulverization of the materials and degradation and failure
of the lithium ion batteries. Therefore, the structural integrity is very important and plays
a critical role in the performance of LiBs devices. Thus, this article section presents a

Lithium ion batteries have aided the revolution in microelectronics and have
become the choice of power source for portable electronic devices. Their triumph in the
portable electronics market is due to the higher gravimetric and volumetric energy
densities offered by them compared to other rechargeable systems. The higher energy
density is due to the higher operating voltages of ∼4 V resulting from the use of water-
systems that limit the operating voltages mostly to <2 V. Lithium ion batteries have also
begun to enter the electric vehicle market and are being intensively pursued for grid
energy storage as well. Energy, power, charge–discharge rate, cost, cycle life, safety, and
environmental impact are some of the parameters that need to be considered in adopting
lithium ion batteries for various applications. While energy density is the most important
factor for portable electronics, cost, cycle life, and safety also become critical parameters
along with energy density (driving distance between charges) for electric vehicles. On the
other hand, cost, cycle life, and safety become more important than energy density for
grid-energy storage. It is desirable to have a fast charge–discharge rate for all three
batteries at both low and high temperature ranges. Lithium-ion batteries, with high energy
density (up to 705 Wh/L) and power density (up to 10,000 W/L), exhibit high capacity

scope will affect the performance and may cause irreversible change to the LIBs. At low

to the loss of capacity at low temperatures. High temperature conditions accelerate the
thermal aging and may shorten the lifetime of LIBs. Heat generation within the batteries
temperature, the exothermic reactions are triggered and generate more heat, leading to the
further increase of temperature. Such uncontrolled heat generation will result in thermal
components. When LIBs is charged, lithium ions are removed from the cathode
electrode. The decomposition of lithium ions then travels through the electrolyte and
transfers into the anode electrode, and the energy is stored in LIBs during this cycle.
When the LIBs stop storing, the lithium ions move back to the cathode electrode; and the
stored energy has been released. The selection of cathode and anode materials is very
important, and this is the main focus of various researchers. The conventional electrode
material is subject to complicated synthesis, low energy/power density, and limited life
cycle. MOFs are promising electro-materials for LIBs due to their unique character,
organic frameworks (BMOFs)), showed excellent thermal and chemical stability. They
have demonstrated that lithium ions are deposited primarily by pores in BMOF. It also
contributed to the highly required capacities of nitrogen atoms in BMOF amine groups.
The maximum ability of the BMOF could be further increased by the maximum surface
area, the pore volume, and the current nitrogen-rich functionality content. The prevailing
concentrations were the small particle size and the rapid movement of lithium-ion
through extensive open skeleton passages. Most of the MOFs in air and moisture are
suffering from tougher challenges. Thus MOFs are in high demand for thermal, chemical,
and structural stability that is critical in practical applications for LIBs cycling
electrical conductivity of MOFs is critical. For LIBs, MOFs are thus desirable electrode
materials with high electrical conductivity and stability (Ramesh and Praveen, 2021).

adjustable in position
Laptop computers are made to be portable, and when working with the developed
wireless internet access, can vigorously function everywhere. With the related engineers'
efforts, laptop computers have recently been developed to be light and compact and
provide continuous usage. For all these reasons, existing laptop computers are highly
welcome and extensively used by people for various works on diverse occasions.
However, due to its configuration, a laptop computer is innately inferior to other
IT devices such as personal computers and server computers in terms of heat dissipation.
As known, a laptop computer typically has its hard drive, Central Processing Unit (CPU)
and power supply settled near its bottom (back), and the heat generated by these
components has to be dissipated or the accumulated heat can eventually damage the
entire device.
For properly dissipating heat from laptop computers, many laptop cooling pads or
similar devices that facilitate heat dissipation of a laptop computer placed thereon have
thereon to generate air flow that brings heat away from the laptop computer it supports,
manufacturers may have their heating portions located differently, so the cooling pad

Abstract
ceramic, heat sensing part electrodes, temperature compensation part electrodes, external
electrodes, and a cavity. A heat sensing part, which is the surface layer of the ceramic
body, is heated by, for example, radiant heat transfer, reducing the resistance value of a
thermistor ceramic layer between the heat sensing part electrodes. Since the heat of the
heat sensing part of the ceramic body is insulated by the cavity and thus prevented from
diffusing, the heat capacity of the heat sensing unit is reduced, obtaining high sensitivity
use in non-contact temperature detection sensors, human body detection sensors, and the
method.

have become a daily necessity for the users. In order to grasp the trend, all the
mobile phones have its own unique appearance design and function for the customers to
choose according to various requirements. Besides all the different-sized mobile phones,
other mobile phone accessories are also introduced to meet with the customer's
requirements. Among them, a mobile phone holder has become the top seller in the
market. That is because various customers have various needs for the mobile phones,
which circumstantially promotes the popularity of mobile phone holders. However, once
the customer decides to change the brand of the mobile phone, due to the size change of
the mobile phone, the customer will have to purchase another holder to receive the new
mobile phone, which is quite a waste to the customer. To overcome the shortcoming, a
new holder for receiving a mobile phone therein is thus introduced to the market. Yet,
this kind of mobile phone holder mostly uses springs with strong strength, which not only
is inconvenient to the user, but also is easy to damage the housing of the mobile phone.
Again, due to the strength of the spring, the manufacturer also encounters difficulty
having a disk provided with a helical groove, such that two positioning bosses provided
on a first plate and a second plate are able to be received in the helical groove to enable
the first plate and the second plate to move inward or outward simultaneously when
Still, another objective of the invention is to provide grill-like structure on the first
plate and the second plate, such that when the first and the second plates are assembled,
the grill-like structure will be able to ensure that no relative movement between the first
