Microscale thermal management utilizing vapor extraction from a fractal-like branching heat sink

Creator:

Apreotesi, Mario A.

Abstract:

It is hypothesized that increases in pressure drop due to vapor generation during boiling in microchannels can be reduced by extraction of vapor at its point of inception. Ultimately, this local vapor extraction decreases the pressure drop required to drive the flow through a fractal-like branching, microchannel flow network within...

Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

Creator:

Apreotesi, Mario A.

Abstract:

With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...
