Lateral fluid motion in nucleate boiling through asymmetric surface structures

Creator:

Kapsenberg, Florian

Abstract:

This thesis presents a feasibility study of a means to passively effect liquid motion parallel to a heated surface though surface geometrical modifications. Such a passive system is beneficial for electronics cooling applications as it reduces the pumping equipment normally required in flow loops and is desired for space applications,...

Masters Thesis
Performance characterization of an integrated microscale hydrogen combustor recuperator and oil heat exchanger

Creator:

Haley, David B. (David Brien)

Abstract:

Experiments on a novel, microscale hydrogen combustor heat exchanger (µCHX) are presented in this thesis. The µCHX has been designed to efficiently transfer thermal energy to a heat transfer fluid for use in desorption of hydrogen from a metal hydride storage system of a hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle. The experimental...

Masters Thesis
Submerged jet impingement boiling thermal management

Creator:

Cardenas, Ruander

Abstract:

Technologies such as avionics and power electronics are driving the demand for thermal management schemes towards high heat fluxes and low surface temperatures. Typically, these applications require the dissipation of heat fluxes in the rage of 100-1000 W/cm² while maintaining surface temperatures lower than about 85 °C. Phase-change heat transfer...
