Development Of Spray Cooling For High Heat Flux Electronics, Jeremy Scott Junghans
Development Of Spray Cooling For High Heat Flux Electronics, Jeremy Scott Junghans
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The thermal demands of modern day electronic systems require innovative thermal solutions. Spray cooling has proven to be able to cool heat fluxes orders of magnitude higher than traditional cooling methodologies. This work includes a comparison of spray cooling to standard thermal management methodologies. Key system parameters and considerations are discussed. The properties of available packaging materials and their effect on the reliability of a spray cooled system are presented. Parameters such as fluid temperature, droplet size, fluid velocity and flow rate all directly impact performance and are detailed in this work. Finally, results from of a wide range of …

Mission Statement
The purpose of this project is to design, build, and test a thrust-vectoring rocket nozzle which will aid in controlling the trajectory of a solid-booster rocket. The system prototype must meet the requirements set forth by the sponsoring enterprise.
The Enterprise
Stellar Exploration is a small space systems technology company located in San Luis Obispo, CA. Stellar Exploration is currently seeking a thrust-vectoring system for its Silver Sword rocket.
Project Scope
The design and analysis portion of this project accounted for a system that would be mounted on to a rocket for operational flight. Therefore, this team has …
