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...

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...

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,...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

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...
