Principal Investigator:Wolfgang Leidenfrost
Award Amount:$736,000.00
Abstract:
The proposed work involves assessment of the feasibility of removal of large, concentrated heat fluxes from multi-chip circuit boards in high performance aircraft by means of liquid jet impingement cooling with subcooled change of phase. Previous studies have shown that, unlike many other types of… More
"The challenge in cooling Direct Energy (DE) weapons is to dissipate 500 - 1000 W/cm2 using compact, light-weight cooling hardware, low coolant flow rates and relatively low pressure drops. This is a formidable challenge considering those attributes aretypically incompatible with… More

Principal Investigator:Terry Tope, Principal Investigator
Award Amount:$776,978.00
Abstract:
Despite numerous recent developments in the area of thermal management, there is now a critical shortage of cooling schemes that can handle anticipated heat loads in many military and commercial applications. The lack of effective cooling schemes hasemerged as an obstacle to electronic packaging at… More

RI Contact:John Schneider
Abstract:
The proposed study will develop robust, physics-based models of two-phase cooling for high-flux defense and power electronics. These models will be used during the follow-up study to develop fast and accurate computational tools for the design of cooling hardware at the device, module and system… More
The primary objective of the proposed Phase II study will be to develop fast and accurate computational tools for the design of two-phase cooling hardware for high-flux defense electronics. These tools will be developed for systems utilizing three different cooling schemes: micro-channel cooling,… More
