Condensation on a fin top terminating with a groove involves several simultaneous phenomena including vapor-liquid boundaries whose shapes are unknown a priori, fluid flow due to capillary and disjoining pressure gradients, and condensation over thin films. This problem occurs in grooved heat pipes, where the condensation is predominantly present on fin tops due to the thinner liquid film - having a lower thermal resistance compared to inside the groove where the fluid is substantially thicker. Majority of the studies in the literature assume an approximate profile for the liquid film surface and apply an integral balance for conservation laws, accounting for the effect of the capillary pressure only. In addition, this approximate profile is matched with the liquid profile inside the groove, which serves as a boundary condition. Although intuitive, validity of the matching is not straightforward, and its limitations have never been discussed in the literature, despite the presence of experimental findings to the contrary. In the current study, the effect of disjoining pressure and matching conditions with the groove is investigated using a comprehensive model. The results suggest that for small temperature differences and small slopes, the effect of disjoining pressure is non-negligible, and beyond limiting values of edge angles, the effect of disjoining pressure precludes solutions where the fin top film matches the groove in a smooth transition.

Morphological evolution of intragranular void under the thermal-stress gradient generated by the steady state heat flow in encapsulated metallic films: Special reference to flip chip solder joints
Ogurtani, Tarik Omer; Akyildiz, Oncu (2007-11-30)
The morphological evolution of intragranular voids induced by the surface drift-diffusion under the action of capillary forces, electromigration (EM) forces, and thermal stress gradients (TSG) associated with steady state heat flow is investigated in passivated metallic thin films via computer simulation using the front-tracking method. As far as the device reliability is concerned, the most critical configuration for interconnect failure occurs even when thermal stresses are low if the normalized ratio of ...
Radiative damping of whistlers in a dense magnetoactive plasma waveguide
Yilmaz, A; Oke, G; Rukhadze, A; Bilikmen, S (IOP Publishing, 1996-06-01)
The absorption of whistler waves in a magnetized cylindrical plasma due to coupling with oblique Langmuir waves is investigated. Two types of mechanisms exist for whistler absorption. The first one is related to the excitation of Langmuir waves in the volume of the dense plasma and their subsequent absorption due to the electron collisions. The second one is the emission of Langmuir waves outside of the cylindrical plasma when it is surrounded by the rare plasma. The relation between these whistler absorpti...
Influence of temperature on optical properties of electron-beam-evaporated ZnSe thin film
Gullu, H. H.; Isik, M.; Hasanlı, Nızamı; Parlak, Mehmet (IOP Publishing, 2020-07-01)
Structural and optical properties of ZnSe thin films grown by electron-beam evaporation technique were reported in the present paper. X-ray diffraction pattern exhibited a single peak around 27 degrees which is well-suited with cubic phase of the films. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses resulted in atomic composition ratio of Zn/Se nearly 1.0 which corresponds to the chemical formula of ZnSe. Transmission experiments were performed at various temperatures in between 10 and 300 K. The analyses of...

We study the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the magnetization (M) and the inverse susceptibility (chi(-1)) in the metal-organic frameworks, in particular, for (CH3)(2)(NH2FeNiII)-Ni-III(HCOO)(6) (DMFeNi) and (CH3)(2)(NH2FeCuII)-Cu-III(HCOO)(6) (DMFeCu) close to their magnetic phase transitions. The Landau phenomenological model is employed to analyze the experimental data for the M(T, H) from the literature and to calculate chi(-1)(T, H) of DMFeNi and DMFeCu. Our results indicate that the ther...
Interactive computer simulation of dislocation damping spectra associated with the coupled motion of geometric kinks and point defects subjected to the bulk segregation phenomenon
Ogurtani, TO; Gungor, MR; Oren, EE (Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.; 2003-01-01)
The set of non-linear differential equations which describes the kink chain oscillating in an atmosphere of continuously distributed paraelastic (interstitials) or isotropic defects and, in addition, decorated by a dragging point defect at the midpoint, is solved numerically after introducing a novel scaling and re-normalization procedure. The internal friction coefficient obtained indicates the existence of two separate peaks, the decoration peak and the parent peak, which are directly related to the selec...
