Simulation of evaporation into microchannels
Interfacial Transport and Thermal Management, Research, Thesis/Semester Project
Evaporation plays a critical role in energy transfer processes. Evaporation physics are often much simplified for designing of real systems, but the applicability of these simplifications to small-scale flows is unclear.
Probing contamination in microscale porous evaporator
Interfacial Transport and Thermal Management, Research, Thesis/Semester Project
Investigate accumulation of impurities non-invasively with advanced metrology and spectroscopy
Hierarchical high flux evaporative cooler
Interfacial Transport and Thermal Management, Research
A new paradigm of phase change heat transfer enabled by a hierarchical evaporator, which favors high volatility, low surface tension liquids rather than water
