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...

Effects of a thin, flexible nozzle on droplet formation and impingement

Creator:: Hawke, Shane R.
Abstract:: The droplet formation process in the vicinity of the nozzle exit and the behavior of a spreading droplet during impingement on a smooth glass surface were studied. Two nozzle geometries were tested. The first case was a stiff stainless steel nozzle plate 0.787 mm thick. The second case was a...

Nonlinear model reduction using the group proper orthogonal decomposition method

Creator:: Dickinson, Benjamin T.
Abstract:: Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) in conjunction with the Galerkin projection has been used as a model reduction technique for the tractable real-time control of high-dimensional systems. While POD based model reduction may improve the tractability of high-dimensional models, the nonlinear POD based model may be impractical for control due to...

Characterization of the near-field flow structure of an acoustically self-excited jet in a large enclosure using particle image velocimetry (PIV)

Creator:: Tobias, Jason A.
Abstract:: An experimental study of the near-field flow structure produced by an incompressible turbulent Acoustically Self-Excited Jet (ASEJ) in a large enclosure using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is presented. The salient feature of this jet is that it provides an increase in near-field mixing and turbulence without additional external power input....

Effect of PZT driving waveform and frequency on meniscus shape and dropon-demand droplet formation parameters

Creator:: Yang, Guozhong
Abstract:: For piezoelectric stack (PZT) driven droplet generator, the driving waveform and driving frequency effect on liquid filament shape and droplet characteristics have been experimentally studied. The experimental study was based on a PZT driven droplet generator with known geometric design parameters and working fluid properties. A lumped-element-model (LEM) constructed to...

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...

Numerical study of droplet formation with nozzle dynamics and multiple droplet impingement

Creator:: Sangplung, Saangrut
Abstract:: Droplet formation from a flexible nozzle plate driven by a prescribed-waveform excitation of a piezoelectric is numerically investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model with the VOF method. The droplet generator with a flexible nozzle plate, which is free to vibrate due to the pressure acting on the plate,...

Proportional integral derivative control of an oil-heated fractal-like branching microchannel desorber

Creator:: Davis, Keith R.
Abstract:: A PID controller was designed to control the performance of an oil-heated fractal-like branching microchannel desorber for use in an ammonia-absorption refrigeration system. Both the amount and concentration of ammonia refrigerant generated at the desorber can be controlled by choosing the rectified circulation ratio as the controlled variable in a...

Mixed reactant single chamber fuel cell, using products generated from the electrolysis of an aqueous electrolyte

Creator:: Jost, William C.
Abstract:: A Mixed Reactant Single Chamber (MRSC) Fuel Cell is a relatively recent concept in the field of fuel cell engineering originally developed in the late 1950’s. Typical fuel cells have separated reactants (a separated fuel and oxidizer) that react on their usually non-selective electro-catalytic materials. A mixed reactant fuel cell...

Detection and analysis of separated flow induced vortical structures

Creator:: Snider, Stephen David Louis
Abstract:: Flow separation is an important phenomenon in fluid dynamics because of the effect it has on lift and drag on immersed bodies. Areas of swirl within a separated flow region may have a distinct effect on the surface forces, modifying the lift and drag characteristics. A correlation between the passage...
