The Impact

Droplet impact cooling has been shown to be a promising method for high heat flux removal applications. Recent experimental studies have revealed that even higher heat transfer at low mass fluxes and low Weber number can be achieved with only few degrees of superheat. In the present work, mono-dispersed droplet cooling of a horizontal upward facing heated surface was investigated at low Weber numbers. The impact velocity and frequency of free falling stream of droplets were varied dependently through changing the gap between the heated surface and tip of different capillaries and variation of volumetric flow rate (0.5–4.7 cc/min).The range of impact velocity and droplet frequency was ranged between 0.28 to 1.3 m/s and 0.5 Hz to 5 Hz, respectively using different capillaries size between 17g to 22g. The coolant was 25°C deionized water and all the experiments were performed at atmospheric pressure. The time-averaged two-phase characteristic curves were obtained up to Critical Heat Flux (CHF)-regime. Through the extensive set of experiments, two separate correlations are proposed to predict the average CHFs based on the Weber between 3<We<10, 10<We<100 and Strouhal number ranged and 6.35×10−3<St<3.88×10−2 1.81×10−3<St<3.86×10−2, respectively. The correlation predicts the average CHFs with absolute errors less than 20% and 25%, respectively.

In the first part of this paper, a review of fundamental experimental studies on flow boiling in plain and surface enhanced microgaps is presented. In the second part, complimentary to the literature review, new results of subcooled flow boiling of water through a micropin-fin array heat sink with outlet pressure below atmospheric are presented. A 200 μm high microgap device design was tested, with a longitudinal pin pitch of 225 μm, a transverse pitch of 135 μm, and a diameter of 90 μm, respectively. Tested mass fluxes ranged from 1351 to 1784  kg/m2s, and effective heat flux ranged from 198 to 444 W/cm2 based on the footprint surface area. The inlet temperature varied from 6 to 12 °C, and outlet pressure ranged from 24 to 36 kPa. The two-phase heat transfer coefficient showed a decreasing trend with increasing heat flux. High-speed visualizations of flow patterns revealed a triangular wake after bubble nucleation. Flow oscillations were seen and discussed.

Advance of an electronic technology has caused the increase of heat generation density for semiconductors densely integrated. Thermal management becomes more important, and a cooling system for high heat flux is required. It is extremely effective to such a demand using flow boiling heat transfer because of its high heat removal ability. To develop the cooling system for a large area at high heat flux, the cold plate structure of narrow channels with auxiliary unheated channel for additional liquid supply was devised and confirmed its validity by experiments. A large surface of 150mm in heated length and 30mm in width with grooves of an apex angle of 90 deg, 0.5mm depth and 1mm in pitch was employed. A structure of narrow rectangular heated channel between parallel plates with an unheated auxiliary channel was employed and the heat transfer characteristics were examined by using water for different combinations of gap sizes and volumetric flow rates. Five different liquid distribution modes were tested and their data were compared. The values of CHF larger than 1.9×106W/m2 for gap size of 2mm under mass velocity based on total volumetric flow rate and on the cross section area of main heated channel 720kg/m2s or 1.7×106W/m2 for gap size of 5mm under 290kg/m2s were obtained under total volumetric flow rate 4.5×10−5m3/s regardless of the liquid distribution modes. Under several conditions, the extensions of dry-patches were observed at the upstream location of the main heated channel resulting burnout not at the downstream but at the upstream. High values of CHF larger than 2×106W/m2 were obtained only for gap size of 2mm. The result indicates that higher mass velocity in the main heated channel is more effective for the increase in CHF. It was clarified that there is optimum flow rate distribution to obtain the highest values of CHF. For gap size of 2mm, high heat transfer coefficient as much as 7.4×104W/m2K were obtained at heat flux 1.5×106W/m2 under mass velocity 720kg/m2s based on total volumetric flow rate and on the cross section area of main heated channel. Also to obtain high heat transfer coefficient, it is more useful to supply the cooling liquid from the auxiliary unheated channel for additional liquid supply in the transverse direction perpendicular to the flow in the main heated channel.

Two Phase Cooling

Two-phase cooling systems provide a viable technology for high–heat flux rejection in electronic systems. They provide high cooling capacity and uniform surface temperature. However, a major restriction of their application is the critical heat flux condition (CHF). This work presents model predictive control (MPC) design for CHF avoidance in two-phase pump driven cooling systems. The system under study includes multiple microchannel heat exchangers in series. The MPC controller performance is compared to the performance of a baseline PI controller. Simulation results show that while both controllers are able to maintain the two-phase cooling system below CHF, MPC has significant reduction in power consumption compared to the baseline controller.

Heat removal through pool boiling is limited by the phenomena of critical heat flux (CHF). CHF enhancement is vitally important in order to satisfy demand for the cooling technology with high heat flux in In Vessel Retention (IVR). Various surface modifications of the boiling surface, e.g., integrated surface structures and coating of a micro-porous have been proven to effectively enhance the CHF in saturated pool boiling. We have been proposed a novel method of attaching a honeycomb structured porous plate on a considerably large heater surface. Previous results, by the authors in [1] reported that CHF has been enhanced experimentally up to more than approximately twice that of a plain surface (approximately 2.0 to 2.5 MW/m2) with a diameter of 30 mm heated surface. However, it is necessary to demonstrate the method together with infinite heater surface within laboratory scale. It is important that cooling techniques for IVR could be applicable to a large heated surface as well as remove high heat flux. Objective of this study is to investigate the CHF of honeycomb porous plate and metal solid structure in nanofluid boiling or water boiling on a large heated surface. Water-based nanofluid offers good wettability and capillarity. While metal solid structure is installed on honeycomb porous plate to increase the number of vapor jet. Experimental results of honeycomb porous plate and combination of honeycomb porous plate and metal solid structure in water-based nanofluid boiling shows that CHF is increased up to twice [2] and thrice, respectively compared to plain surface in water boiling. To the best of the author’s knowledge, the highest value (3.1 MW/m2) was obtained for a large heated surface having a diameter of 50 mm which is regarded as infinite heated surface. This demonstrates potential for general applicability to have more safety margin in IVR method.

An effective design option for a cooling system is to use a two-phase pumped cooling loop to simultaneously satisfy the temperature uniformity and high heat flux requirements. A reciprocating-mechanism driven heat loop (RMDHL) is a novel heat transfer device that could attain a high heat transfer rate through a reciprocating flow of the two-phase working fluid inside the heat transfer device. Although the device has been tested and validated experimentally, analytical or numerical study has not been undertaken to understand its working mechanism and provide guidance for the device design. The objective of this paper is to develop a numerical model for the RMDHL to predict its operational performance under different working conditions. The developed numerical model has been successfully validated by the existing experimental data and will provide a powerful tool for the design and performance optimization of future RMDHLs. The study also reveals that the maximum velocity in the flow occurs near the wall rather than at the center of the pipe, as in the case of unidirectional steady flow. This higher velocity near the wall may help to explain the enhanced heat transfer of an RMDHL.
