A Study of Two-Phase Heat Transfer Devices
Heat transfer devices involving phase change are known to be highly effective and thus have been widely employed for thermal management in various industries such as aerospace, electronics, agriculture, and manufacturing. For this project, students are expected to understand two-phase heat transfer devices through two parts of work. First, each team is to design, build, and test a simple heat pipe to demonstrate its operation and effectiveness in heat removal. The design objective is to remove heat from a liter of boiling water, achieving a larger temperature drop. The second part of the project is for each team to conduct a review of heat pipes or other two-phase heat transfer devices that are currently in use, exploring their types, applications, performance, challenges, etc. On the testing day, each team will have 15 minutes to set up, demonstrate/test, and disassemble their device. A test station with liquid cooling will be provided, as well as a vacuum pump. In addition, students will also prepare a PowerPoint slide show for the audience to explain the design decisions, fabrication, operations and thermal analysis of their device.
