Abstract

Two-phase internal flows in microgaps with passage hydraulic diameters of 100 um — 1,000 um are of interest in electronics thermal management, transport electrification and portable microsystems. To enhance heat transfer coefficients in these configurations, structured surfaces are often employed. Understanding of two-phase flow and thermal transport in such configurations continues to be an active area of research. The first part of this talk will present recent computational and experimental results from investigations of two-phased forced convection, and capillary assisted transport in structured microgaps.

While many challenges remain, experimentally validated modeling of such two-phase flows presents a promising approach for understanding the thermal transport in these configurations. The second part of the talk will provide an overview of current thermal management initiatives at the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA), with a focus on three-dimensional heterogeneous integration based microsystems.
