Abstract: Porous structures formed by sintering of powders, which involves materialbonding under the application of heat, are commonly employed as capillary wicks in twophase heat transport devices such as heat pipes. These sintered ...

Abstract: Sintered porous structures are ubiquitous as heat transport media for thermal management and other applications. In particular, lowporosity sintered packed beds are used as capillarywicking and evaporationenhancement ...

Abstract: Optimization under uncertainty (OUU) is a powerful methodology used in design and optimization to produce robust, reliable designs. Such an optimization methodology, employed when the input quantities of interest are ...
