Oscillating Heat Pipe Performance With Evaporator Section Modifications, Mitchell Hoesing
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The continuous development of electronic components to become faster and smaller has led to an increasing problem with thermal management. Thermal management ensures that the component operating temperatures are within a safe range, which maintains performance and improves reliability and lifespan. Traditional thermal management devices, such as the extruded-fin heat sink, are incapable of maintaining the safe operating temperature range for current and future high heat flux cooling applications. A device that has the capability to meet this growing need is the oscillating heat pipe. Oscillating heat pipes (OHPs) are passive, two-phase cooling devices that have been shown to transfer …
