Abstract: Microchannel heat transfer is commonly applied in the thermal management of highpower electronics. Most designs involve a series of parallel microchannels, which are typically analyzed by assuming a uniform flow distribution. ...

Abstract: Following volcanic eruptions, forecasters need accurate estimates of mass eruption rate (MER) to appropriately predict the downstream effects. Most analyses use simple correlations or models based on large eruptions at ...

Abstract: Electronic devices experience spatial variation in power dissipation, which results in high-temperature hot spots. These locations require aggressive thermal management, which can be complex and costly. Simple solutions ...

Abstract: Synthetic jet actuators are used to produce net axial momentum flow without net mass flux. Through strategic application, such devices can be used for flow control, propulsive thrust, and cooling. A novel application uses ...

Abstract: Microfluidic sensors have been very effective for rapid, portable bioanalysis, such as in determining the pH of a sample. By simultaneously detecting multiple chemicals, the overall measurement performance can be greatly ...
