Passive pumping in pool and open channel configurations via meso-scale asymmetric surface patterning

Creator:

Strid, Logan

Abstract:

The research presented in this thesis is a continuation of collaboration between Oregon State University and Auburn University studying the feasibility of passively pumping liquid during boiling in a preferential direction using meso-scaled asymmetric surface patterns. Such a passive phase-change mechanism has great potential for thermal management in spacecraft and...

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,...

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...
