Single Phase and Flow Boiling Heat Transfer and Flow Characterization in Microscale Pin Fin Heat Sinks

Creator:

Rasouli, Erfan

Abstract:

The ever increasing requirements for heat dissipation in various thermal management applications such as computer chip cooling and high power electronics have necessitated the need for novel thermal management techniques. Thermal management using heat sinks with microscale features is amongst the prominent techniques developed over the past two decades. In...

The Development of a Mechanistic Critical Heat Flux Correlation

Creator:

Luitjens, Jeffrey M.

Abstract:

A mechanistic based critical heat flux (CHF) correlation has been developed derived from a mass, momentum, and energy balance at a nucleation site for water. The trigger mechanism for the CHF condition is postulated to be related to the maximum boiling frequency on a heated surface. It is observed that...

A study of adiabatic and diabatic flow boiling in parallel microchannels and fractal-like branching microchannels

Creator:

Daniels, Brian J.

Abstract:

A one-dimensional numerical model has been developed to study diabatic and adiabatic flow boiling in microchannels. This model accounts for developing flow effects and variable property effects. The model uses correlations for void fraction and two-phase multipliers found in the literature. The model has been used to study the performance...
