  • 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...

  • 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...
