Abstract: This paper investigates the ultrasonic sound effect on oscillating motion and heat transfer in an oscillating heat pipe (OHP). The ultrasonic sound produced by electrically controlled piezoelectric ceramics is used to ...

Abstract: A good wicking structure is necessary for the design of a highly efficient heat pipe. Several unique aluminum oxide nanostructures were developed as wicks for heat pipes. The wicks were manufactured via an anodization ...

Abstract: With ever increasing technological advances in electronics, modern computer components continue to produce higher power densities that present a challenge to thermal management. A radial flatplate oscillating heat pipe ...

Abstract: Understanding the heat transfer of winglet tips is crucial for their applications in high-pressure turbines. The current paper investigates the heat transfer performance of three different winglet-cavity tips in a transonic ...

Abstract: A basic attribute for turbine blade film cooling is that coolant injected should be largely passively convected by the local base flow. However, the effective working of the conventional wisdom may be compromised when the ...

Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that the aerothermal characteristics of turbine rotor blade tip under a transonic condition are qualitatively different from those under a low-speed subsonic condition. The cooling injection ...
