Spatio – temporal temperature variations during droplet impingement evaporation : effects of nanofluid and nano-structured surface

Creator:

Graber, Christof

Abstract:

Droplet and spray impingement cooling are typically used in high heat flux thermal management. In this thesis, droplet impingement and evaporation heat transfer characteristics are determined from measured spatially- and temporally- varying fluid and surface temperatures. Unique to this study is the documentation of the effects of using a nanofluid...

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...
