PhD research with industry in developing novel cooling methods for high heat flux applications.
Spray cooling is where a fine mist or spray of coolant is applied either directly to heated surfaces, such as processors or memory modules, or to an internal surface in a standalone heat sink unit. It is an efficient cooling technique that provides a promising solution to address the rising heat challenges associated with high-density computing and power electronics. This project will involve using a commercial droplet generator to investigate heat transfer on structured surfaces. The research will be mainly experimental, and is in partnership with an industrial partner. It is expected that the student will spend about 3 months with the industrial partner to develop the experimental set-up.
