Nanoengineered surfaces for advanced thermal management

[摘要] (cont.) Finally, the heat transfer performance was investigated on microstructure pillar arrays with integrated heaters and temperature sensors. These test devices were fabricated and the behavior of the thin liquid film under varying heat fluxes was investigated, where a two-step ;;dry-out;; behavior was observed. The thermal resistance of the thin film including the effect of the micropillars was also analyzed. This work demonstrates the potential of micro- and nanostructures to achieve high heat fluxes via thin film evaporation.
