Summary

Due to the energy crisis and energy inefficiency, micro-nano scale heat transfer enhancement technology, as an effective means of heat transfer enhancement, is becoming more significant and has attracted more and more attention. Micro-nano scale heat transfer enhancement technology has been applied in many fields, such as thermal management of electronic components, thermal management of battery, space thermal control, heat sink, photothermal conversion and so on. This section aims to establish micro-nano heat transfer enhancement technologies, develop models for micro-nano scale heat transfer, and reveal the mechanism of heat transfer enhancement at the micro-nano scale.

    Abstract The pulsating heat pipe is a very promising heat dissipation device to address the challenge of higher heat-flux electronic chips, as it is characterised by excellent heat transfer ability and flexibility for miniaturisation. To boost the application of PHP, reliable heat transfer performance evaluation models are especially important. In this paper, a heat transfer correlation was firstly proposed for closed PHP with various working fluids (water, ethanol, methanol, R123, acetone) based on collected experimental data. Dimensional analysis was used to group the parameters. It was shown that the average absolute deviation (AAD) and correlation coefficient (r) of the correlation were… More >
