Optimal Sizing and Material Choice for Additively Manufactured Compact Plate Heat Exchangers
Mehmet Basaran, Frederik Rogiers, Martine Baelmans +1
Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) enable new opportunities to design compact heat exchangers (cHEXs) by leveraging flexible geometries to improve energy and material efficien…
A one-dimensional numerical model for system performance prediction of loop heat pipes and its validation
Xu Huang, Geert Buckinx, Maria Rosaria Vetrano +1
Developing high power density electronics requires effective and highly reliable cooling techniques with low thermal resistance and high heat removal capacity. Loop heat pipes (LHP…
A Unit-Cell Shape Optimization Approach for Maximizing Heat Transfer in Periodic Fin Arrays at Constant Solid Temperature
Maarten Blommaert, Arthur Vangeffelen, Mehmet Basaran +2
Periodic fin structures are often employed to enhance heat transfer in compact cooling solutions and heat exchangers. Adjoint-based optimization methods are able to further increas…
Developed and quasi-developed macro-scale heat transfer in micro- and mini-channels with arrays of offset strip fins subject to a uniform heat flux
Arthur Vangeffelen, Geert Buckinx, Carlo De Servi +2
In the present work, we examine to what degree the heat transfer can be described as developed on a macro-scale level in typical micro- and mini-channels with offset strip fin arra…
