Optimum ratio of hydrophobic to hydrophilic areas of biphilic surfaces in thermal fluid systems involving boiling

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Tom Larsen, Ahmad Reza Motezakker

Pool boiling has a high heat removal capability and is considered as one of the most effective cooling methods due to utilization of latent heat of vaporization. Surface wettability plays a key role in boiling heat transfer since it controls the contact li ...

Flow Boiling Heat Transfer and Pressure Drops of R1234ze(E) in a Silicon Micro-pin Fin Evaporator

John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini, Chiara Falsetti

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 ...

From Nano- to Micrometer Scale: The Role of Antisolvent Treatment on High Performance Perovskite Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Francesco Stellacci, Giulia Grancini, Pascal Alexander Schouwink, Yi Zhang, Peng Gao, Sanghyun Paek, Kyung Taek Cho, Evangelia-Nefeli Athanasopoulou

To date, antisolvent treatment has become one of the most important means to fabricate high efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs); however, the few reported antisolvents have not been analyzed on a uniform platform, and there is hitherto no clear reason ...

An updated three-zone heat transfer model for slug flow boiling in microchannels

John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini

This work proposes a novel physics-based model for the fluid mechanics and heat transfer associated with slug flow boiling in horizontal circular microchannels to update the widely used three-zone model of Thome et al. (2004). The heat transfer model has a ...

Insulation effect on thermal stability of Coated Conductors wires in liquid nitrogen

Bertrand Dutoit, Bertrand Dutoit

Superconducting wires are not perfectly homogeneous in term of critical current as well as stabilization. In resistive fault current limiter applications this could lead to hot spots if the fault current is only slightly above the nominal current of the de ...

Two-Phase Heat Transfer Mechanisms within Plate Heat Exchangers : Experiments, Modeling and Simulations

Raffaele Luca Amalfi

Plate heat exchangers are adopted in many domestic and industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, evaporation or condensation process, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. In the present thesis, an extensive expe ...

A CFD study of the parameters influencing heat transfer in microchannel slug flow boiling

John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini

Boiling heat transfer in microchannels has been investigated extensively in the last two decades. However, most results from independent experimental studies display a substantial disagreement on the influence of the flow conditions and mechanisms on the h ...

Thermally-nucleated self-assembly of water and alcohol into stable structures at hydrophobic interfaces

Francesco Stellacci, Michele Ceriotti, Kislon Voitchovsky, Daniele Giofré

At the interface with solids, the mobility of liquid molecules tends to be reduced compared with bulk, often resulting in increased local order due to interactions with the surface of the solid. At room temperature, liquids such as water and methanol can f ...

Innovative low-mass cooling systems for the ALICE ITS Upgrade detector at CERN

Manuel Gómez Marzoa

The Phase-1 upgrade of the LHC to full design luminosity, planned for 2019 at CERN, requires the modernisation of the experiments around the accelerator. The Inner Tracking System (ITS), the innermost detector at the ALICE experiment, will be upgraded by r ...

Flow boiling and frictional pressure gradients in plate heat exchangers. Part 2: Comparison of literature methods to database and new prediction methods

John Richard Thome, Raffaele Luca Amalfi, Farzad Vakili Farahani

In the second part of this study a sensitivity analysis on the prediction methods is performed to consider the effect of plate geometry on thermal hydraulic performance and an extensive comparison of all the two-phase pressure drop and flow boiling heat tr ...
