  • 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,...

  • Local heat transfer rate and bubble dynamics during jet impingement boiling

    Creator:
    Mani, Preeti
    Abstract:
    Characterization of local boiling trends, in addition to the typically reported area-averaged trends, is essential for the robust design and implementation of phase change technologies to sensitive heat transfer applications such as electronics cooling. Obtaining the values of heat fluxes corresponding to locally varying surface temperatures has been a challenge...
