Numerical Simulation of the Mechanically Pumped Two-Phase Cooling Loop

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two-phase mechanically pumped cooling loop (MPCL) has emerged as a highly effective means for dissipating large amounts of heat from a small heat transfer area and provided a robust solution for significant design with flexibility, precise temperature control, and is othermalization. In this paper, the attempt of design optimization of the work fluid is introduced, by employing thermal simulation analysis with SINDA/FLUINT.
