Thermal management has a key role in the development of advanced electronic devices to keep the device temperature below a maximum operating temperature. Jet impingement and high conductive porous inserts can provide a high efficiency cooling and temperature control for a variety of applications including electronics cooling. In this work, advanced heat management devices are designed and numerically studied employing single and multijet impingement through porous-filled channels with inclined walls. The base of these porous-filled nonuniform heat exchanging channels will be in contact with the devices to be cooled; as such the base is subject to a high heat flux leaving the devices. The coolant enters the heat exchanging device through single or multijet impingement normal to the base, moves through the porous field and leaves through horizontal exit channels. For numerical modeling, local thermal nonequilibrium model in porous media is employed in which volume averaging over each of the solid and fluid phase results in two energy equations, one for solid phase and one for fluid phase. The cooling performance of more than 30 single and multijet impingement designs are analyzed and compared to achieve advantageous designs with low or uniform base temperature profiles and high thermal effectiveness. The effects of porosity value and employment of 5% titanium dioxide (TiO2) in water in multijet impingement cases are also investigated.

Biphasic media with a dynamic interaction between fluid and solid phases must be taken into account to accurately describe seismic wave amplitudes in subsurface and reservoir geophysical applications. Consequently, the modeling of the wave propagation in heteregeneous porous media, which includes the frequency-dependent phenomena of the fluid-solid interaction, is considered for 2D geometries. From the Biot-Gassmann theory, we have deduced the discrete linear system in the frequency domain for a discontinuous finite-element method, known as the nodal discontinuous Galerkin method. Solving this system in the frequency domain allows accurate modeling of the Biot wave in the diffusive/propagative regimes, enhancing the importance of frequency effects. Because we had to consider finite numerical models, we implemented perfectly matched layer techniques. We found that waves are efficiently absorbed at the model boundaries, and that the discretization of the medium should follow the same rules as in the elastodynamic case, that is, 10 grids per minimum wavelength for a P0 interpolation order. The grid spreading of the sources, which could be stresses or forces applied on either the solid phase or the fluid phase, did not show any additional difficulties compared to the elastic problem. For a flat interface separating two media, we compared the numerical solution and a semianalytic solution obtained by a reflectivity method in the three regimes where the Biot wave is propagative, diffusive/propagative, and diffusive. In all cases, fluid-solid interactions were reconstructed accurately, proving that attenuation and dispersion of the waves were correctly accounted for. In addition to this validation in layered media, we have explored the capacities of modeling complex wave propagation in a laterally heterogeneous porous medium related to steam injection in a sand reservoir and the seismic response associated to a fluid substitution.

Breakthroughs in the recent cutting-edge technologies have become increasingly dependent on the ability to safely dissipate large amount of heat from small areas. Improvements in cooling techniques are therefore required to avoid unacceptable temperature rise and at the same time maintain high efficiency. Jet impingement is one such cooling scheme which has been widely used to dissipate transient and steady concentrated heat loads. With constantly increasing transient cooling needs, conventional pin-fin cooling and conventional jet impingement cooling are not meeting the requirements. Considerable improvements are therefore required to meet such stringent requirements without any significant changes in the cooling system. A combined cooling scheme based on jet impingement and phase change materials (PCMs) is presented as one such alternative to existing cooling systems. A high heat storage capability of PCMs in combination with a high heat transfer rates from impingement cooling can help overcome the existing heat distribution and transient cooling problems in high heat flux dissipating devices. Preliminary conjugate CFD simulations show promising results. Additionally, experimental validation of the simulation predictions has also been performed. A reasonably good agreement was found between the predictions and experiments.

The heat rejection device is a key component in virtually all electronic systems. New core materials for compact and efficient heat exchangers or heat rejection devices are contemporary porous media including metal and graphite foam. In such materials the solid phase has a relatively high conductivity, especially when the fluid phase has a low conductivity. This condition is realized in air-cooling thermal management systems. Simple models are needed for scientists and engineers who work with these materials. Approximate engineering analysis for the convection heat transfer inside a two-dimensional rectangular porous media subjected to constant heat flux on one side is presented. The analysis sets the conduction in the fluid’s governing equation to zero, and for simplicity assumes Darcian flow. The Darcian flow assumption is valid far enough from the solid boundaries, ant it prevails for most of the cross section. The non-local-thermal equilibrium equations are significantly simplified and solved. The solid and fluid temperatures decay in what looks like an exponential fashion as the distance from the heated base increases. The results are in good qualitative agreement with more complex analytical and numerical results in the literature. The proposed model may prove to be time-savings for design purposes.

The process of transport and trapping of arsenic ions in porous water filters is treated as a classic mass transport problem which, at the pore scale, is modeled using the traditional convection-diffusion equation, representing the migration of species present in very small (tracer) amounts in water. The upscaling, conducted using the volume averaging method, reveals the presence of two possible forms of the macroscopic equations for predicting arsenic concentrations in the filters. One is the classic convection-dispersion equation with the total dispersion tensor as its main transport coefficient, and which is obtained from a closure formulation similar to that of the passive diffusion problem. The other equation form includes an additional transport coefficient, hitherto ignored in the literature and identified here as the adsorption-induced vector. These two coefficients in the latter form are determined from a system of two closure problems that include the effects of both the passive diffusion as well as the adsorption of arsenic by the solid phase of the filter. This theoretical effort represents the first serious effort to introduce a detailed micro–macro coupling while modeling the transport of arsenic species in water filters representing homogeneous porous media.

The increasing complexity of modern integrated circuits and need for high-heat flux removal with low junction temperatures motivates research in a wide variety of cooling and refrigeration technologies. Two-phase liquid cooling is especially attractive due to high efficiency and low thermal resistances. While two-phase microfluidic cooling offers important benefits in required flow rate and pump size, there are substantial challenges related to flow stability and effective superheating. This work investigates the use of hydrophobic membrane to locally vent the vapor phase in microfluidic heat exchangers. Previous work has demonstrated selective venting of gas in microstructures and we extend this concept to two-phase heat exchangers. This paper details the design, fabrication and preliminary testing of the novel heat exchanger. Proof-of-concept of the device, carried out using an isothermal air-water mixture, found the air-mass venting efficiency exceeding 95%. Two-phase, thermal operation of the heat exchanger found the pressure-drop to be smaller compared to a two-phase, non-venting model. The paper also includes a discussion of design challenges such as membrane leakage and optical inaccessibility. The favorable results demonstrated in this first-generation, vapor-venting, micromachined, heat exchanger motivates further study of this and other novel microstructures aimed at mitigating the negative effects of phase-change. With continued research and optimization, we believe two-phase cooling is a viable solution for high heat flux generating electronics.

An experimental investigation of a two-phase pipe flow was undertaken to study kinematic and dynamic parameters of the fluid and solid phases. To accomplish this, a two-color digital particle image velocimetry and accelerometry (DPIV∕DPIA) methodology was used to measure velocity and acceleration fields of the fluid phase and solid phase simultaneously. The simultaneous, two-color DPIV∕DPIA measurements provided information on the changing characteristics of two-phase flow kinematic and dynamic quantities. Analysis of kinematic terms indicated that turbulence was suppressed due to the presence of the solid phase. Dynamic considerations focused on the second and third central moments of temporal acceleration for both phases. For the condition studied, the distribution across the tube of the second central moment of acceleration indicated a higher value for the solid phase than the fluid phase; both phases had increased values near the wall. The third central moment statistic of acceleration showed a variation between the two phases with the fluid phase having an oscillatory-type profile across the tube and the solid phase having a fairly flat profile. The differences in second and third central moment profiles between the two phases are attributed to the inertia of each particle type and its response to turbulence structures. Analysis of acceleration statistics provides another approach to characterize flow fields and gives some insight into the flow structures, even for steady flows.
