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.

Design and experimental testing of an adsorbent bed for a thermal wave adsorption cooling cycle
Çağlar, Ahmet; Yamalı, Cemil; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
Poor heat and mass transfer inside the adsorbent bed of thermal wave adsorption cooling cycles cause low system performance and is an important problem in the adsorbent bed design. In this thesis, a new adsorbent bed is designed, constructed and tested to increase the heat and mass transfer in the adsorbent bed. The adsorbent bed is constructed from a finned tube in order to enhance the heat transfer. Additionally, the finned bed geometry is theoretically modeled and the model is solved time dependently by ...
Model based temperature controller development for water cooled PEM fuel cell systems
Saygili, Yasemin; Eroğlu, İnci; Kıncal, Serkan (2015-01-05)
PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell operation necessitates thermal management to satisfy the requirements of safe and efficient operation by keeping the temperature within a certain range independent of varying load conditions. Heat generation within the fuel cell changes according to the power delivered from the stack, requiring a dynamic control system to remove this excess heat and maintain the desired stack temperature. In this study, a closed loop water circulation strategy is considered and evalu...
Design and modeling of a novel rectifier with ceramic hollow fiber membrane contactor for miniaturized absorption cooling devices
Özkan, Onur; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
Miniaturized and mobile absorption cooling devices may be used in many applications, but effective and small size heat and mass exchangers are required. Ceramic hollow fiber membranes are thermally stable so that they can be used for the rectification of ammonia in an absorption cooling device. In this study the simultaneous heat and mass transfer between the ammonia-water vapor and the reflux liquid is modeled in a rectifier and stripper with hydrophobic ceramic hollow fiber membranes. A similar model is u...
Comparision of dry and wet cooling: An applied research on a solar thermal power plant
Timur, Eray; Uzgören, Eray; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2013-6)
The present study evaluates the use of air cooled heat exchangers for an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) as part of a solar thermal power system that can produce 10-30 kWe. Overall thermal efficiency of the system under investigation relies heavily on (i) available solar thermal energy, (ii) performance of the cooling system, and (iii) power consumption due to pumps and fans within the system. For locations with good solar potential but limited water resources, it is crucial to evaluate wet cooling towers...
