Abstract: Inverters are a crucial component in electric vehicle drivetrains, and this work attempts to develop and study a thermal management system for inverter cooling. This study aims to develop a low-cost, simple, closed-loop ...

Abstract: This paper reports a mathematical model for predicting the fluid and heat flow characteristics of a Z-shaped corrugated perforated plate heat sink. Experiments were carried out to validate overall pressure drop as well as ...

Abstract: Effective thermal conductivity and Young's modulus of periodic unit cell geometries are widely studied in the literature. This paper compares and contrasts strut-based unit cells against surface-based unit cells obtained ...

Abstract: For applications of porous materials where mean pressure drop is a concern, packaging the material into a corrugated structure is better compared to other geometries such as block or wedge shapes. The goal of this study ...

Abstract: Effective thermal conductivity and Young's modulus of periodic unit cell geometries are widely studied in the literature. This paper compares and contrasts strutbased unit cells against surfacebased unit cells obtained by ...

Abstract: The mitigation of boiling instabilities by using water-alcohol mixtures as coolants in a two-phase pumpless loop is experimentally investigated. Water-miscible alcohol, namely, 2-propanol, is added to water in quantities ...
