Spray cooling for electronics cooling applications offers superior performance due to the atomization and two-phase flow abilities. Need for spray cooling in thermal applications is on the rise due to increasing heat fluxes and demanding reliability specifications. Unfortunately, it is a very laborious task to predict Critical Heat Fluxes (CHF) for spray cooling by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Therefore, thermal engineers generally prefer using empirical correlations to determine capabilities of spray cooling for electronics. In this study, one of the empirical correlations was tested by performing several experiments by varying the fluid type, the angle of spray nozzle and the flow rate.

Modeling of multidimensional heat transfer in a rectangular grooved heat pipe /
Odabaşı, Gülnihal; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
Heat pipes are generally preferred for electronics cooling application due to large heat transfer capacity in spite of small size. Micro heat pipes use small channels, whose dimension is on the order of micrometers, to generate necessary capillary action maintaining fluid flow for heat pipe operation. In the present study a flat micro heat pipe with rectangular cross section is analyzed numerically. A simplified axial fluid flow model is utilized to find liquid-vapor interface shape variation along the heat...
Comparison of the thermal and pressure drop characteristics of a conventional fin block and partially metal foam embedded heat sinks
Ataer, Süleyman Kaancan; Yamalı, Cemil; Albayrak, Kahraman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
Despite the downsizing of the electronic components, the increase in the power consumption of the electronic components and correspondingly the rise in the loss of power that transforms into heat have given a momentum in the search for different cooling methods for thermal sinks by the thermal engineers. Excessively heated regions that form on the small areas where the heat generating components contact the heat sinks create a thermal resistance for the heat flow from the surface of the component to the cha...
Experimentation and optimization of a heat pump integrated dishwasher
Kütük, Erkan; Bayer, Özgür; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
This study aims to develop the optimization of heat pump system working parameters for minimum energy consumption, operating time and noise level for a novel dishwasher. In an integrated heat pump system, compressor speed (N) and air flow rate (V̇) over the evaporator are selected as variables that affects energy consumption (E), acoustic level (A) and operating time (t). Due to the international energy regulations for household appliances, energy efficiency is highly important and for user comfort, operati...
A novel approach to condensation modeling at the fin top of a grooved heat pipe
Akdağ, Osman; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Phase-change passive heat spreaders have the capability of carrying large amounts of heat from a heat source to a heat sink creating a small temperature difference. One common type of the passive heat spreaders is the heat pipes. The liquid flow inside a heat pipe is driven by the capillary pressure gradient created by a wick structure on the inner wall, which may be in the form of grooves, sintered grains or wire meshes. In the literature, grooved heat pipes are the most studied ones for modeling and exper...
