Creator:: Goodrich, Sam S.
Abstract:: In recent years, the global nuclear industry has placed a greater emphasis on passively safe reactor designs. In particular, much attention and design work has been applied to engineered systems for passive cooling of nuclear fuel, whether it be loaded in a core or stored in spent fuel pools. The...

Creator:: Zeuthen, Eric D.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to measure and compare radiation emissions from flames burning large hydrocarbon fuels to assist in understanding how the molecular composition changes radiation emissions. Radiative heat transfer is significant because it is a primary mode of heat transfer for many combustion devices. This study also...

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...

Creator:: He, Xiaoliang
Abstract:: With continued development of the electronic industry, the demand for highly efficient heat removal solutions requires innovative cooling technologies. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study, including heat transfer, is performed for an axisymmetric, confined jet impingement experiencing boiling and coupled with vapor extraction. Boiling occurs at the target surface while...

Creator:: Sabo, Michael D.
Abstract:: Advances in electronics fabrication, coupled with the demand for increased computing power, have driven the demand for innovative cooling solutions to dissipate waste heat generated by these devices. To meet future demands, research and development has focused on robust and stable two-phase heat transfer devices. A confined impinging jet is...
