Sequentially stacked impingement channels allow for a more effective use of the cooling fluid and can limit the heat transfer reduction due to the crossflow when the number of jets increases. In this paper, sequential impingement channels are experimentall ...
In this paper, a modification of the widely used transient liquid crystal heat transfer measurement technique for impingement cooling is presented, in which a constant heat flux at the surface is used to drive the experiment, instead of a step change in th ...
This paper presents a comprehensive and critical review of studies on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer, flow boiling heat transfer, critical heat flux (CHF), and two-phase flow phenomena with nanofluids. First, general analysis of the available studies ...
Experimental heat transfer measurements are used in a wide range of fields, for example to validate new cooling concepts in turbomachinery, to assess the performances of heat exchangers, and to provide data for numerical simulations. A particular challenge ...
Two-phase, refrigerant-based cooling offers significant promise for increasing heat densities and energy efficiencies of electronic components. One barrier to wide spread adoption of two-phase cooling solutions is preserving product features deemed essenti ...
The development of newer and more efficient cooling techniques to sustain the increasing power density of high-performance computing systems is becoming one of the major challenges in the development of microelectronics. In this framework, two-phase coolin ...
Plate heat exchangers are widely adopted in many industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, heat transfer processes, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. They provide higher heat transfer performance, compactness ...
In this paper, I will present an abridged overview of what is presented in my keynote lecture. I will recount some of the initial history of microchannel two-phase flow and boiling work by others that enticed me to join into the development of this field a ...
The global tendency towards miniaturization driven by the microelectronics industry is pushing system density and packaging towards unprecedented values of thermal design power, with a dramatic reduction of the surface area of the devices. Vertical integra ...
Heat transfer in nucleate boiling relies on the detachment and rise of the boiling bubble, in which gravity plays the dominant role. Previous studies showed that in the absence of gravity, the bubble fails to rise, causing the dryout of the heater and sign ...
