چکیده
for their camaraderie and encouragement. I thank all of my friends in Atlanta who have made my time in grad school a rich and fulfilling experience. I would like to thank Regina Neequaye for her administrative assistance and John Graham and the ME department machine shop staff for their assistance in machining the experimental hardware.

Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer Enhancement in a Finned U-Shaped Heat Pipe of CPU Cooling System Using Different Fluids
This paper experimentally studies the heat absorption performance of a heat sink with vertical embedded heat pipes in the aluminum blade. The cooling system with embedded heat pipes distributes heat from the CPU to both the base plate and the heat pipes, and then transfer heat from fins to the Environment. The thermal resistance and heat transfer coefficient are evaluated for natural convection...
متن کاملA simple Analytical model for solidification cooling rate based on the local heat flux density
A new simple analytical model for prediction of cooling rate in the solidification process based on the local heat flux density extracted during solidification is introduced. In the modeling procedure, a solidifying control volume is considered in the mushy zone in which a heat balance equation is used to derive the present model. As the local heat flux density is a measurable parameter, the pr...
متن کاملDesign and Testing of a Carbon Foam Based Supercooler for High Heat Flux Cooling in Optoelectronic Packages
The feasibility of using carbon foam as a heat sink and heat spreader in optoelectronic packages is assessed. A “supercooler” is designed, fabricated and tested to verify its cooling capability under high heat flux conditions in a typical optoelectronic package. The supercooler uses carbon foam as a primary heat transfer material. Water is soaked into the carbon foam and under evacuated pressur...
متن کاملApplication of Boiling Heat Transfer to High-Heat-Flux Cooling Technology in Power Electronics
Boiling heat transfer is a superior heat transfer technology using the latent heat transport with phase-change. However, it has been difficult to employ as a cooling technology for electronics because the unstable transition boiling and film boiling with excessive high temperature are impossible to control. In highly subcooled boiling, the coalescing bubbles formed on the heating surface collap...
متن کاملThe Impact of Lhp Position to Remove Waste Heat from the Power Components
Given the rapid progress in the electronics industry, the thermal management of electronics components becomes an important and serious issue. Natural and forced cooling are often deficient. One possibility for heat dissipation for high heat flux is using loop heat pipe. A loop heat pipe (LHP) is a two-phase device with extremely high effective thermal conductivity that utilizes pressure differ...
