Development And Validation Of An Experimental Test Rig For Electrohydrodynamic Enhancement Of Forced Convective Heat Transfer, William T. Caldwell
Development And Validation Of An Experimental Test Rig For Electrohydrodynamic Enhancement Of Forced Convective Heat Transfer, William T. Caldwell
Theses and Dissertations
This report details the development of a facility for the experimental investigation of electrohydrodynamic (EHD) enhancement of forced convection heat transfer. The test facility was developed for the Thermal and Transparencies Laboratory (TATLAB), Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), for use in future research into the applicability of EHD for the miniaturization of Air Force heat exchangers. During this research, a closed l6op, medium scale electrohydrodynamic test rig was developed and brought online. The test fluid loop was integrated with a data acquisition and parameter control system. Basic loop and fluid performance testing was accomplished through the use of a 3mm …
