The effect of disjoining pressure on the shape of condensing films in a fin-groove corner
Osman Akdag, Yigit Akkus, Zafer Dursunkaya
Thin film condensation is commonly present in numerous natural and artificial processes. Phase-change driven passive heat spreaders such as heat pipes, which are widely used in ele…
A First Look at the Performance of Nano-Grooved Heat Pipes
Yigit Akkus, Chinh Thanh Nguyen, Alper Tunga Celebi +1
Passive thermal spreaders utilizing liquid/vapor phase-change mechanism such as heat pipes, have been widely used in the macro-scale thermal management of electronic devices for ma…
Atomic Scale Interfacial Transport at an Extended Evaporating Meniscus
Yigit Akkus, Anil Koklu, Ali Beskok
Recent developments in fabrication techniques enabled the production of nano- and angstrom-scale conduits. While scientists are able to conduct experimental studies to demonstrate…
Molecular Diffusion Replaces Capillary Pumping in Phase-Change Driven Nanopumps
Yigit Akkus, Ali Beskok
Nano-scale fluid transport has vast applications spanning from water desalination to biotechnology [1,2]. It is possible to pump fluids in nano-conduits using pressure gradients [3…
