Project Description
As power electronics and computing systems progress, there is an increased need to advance the cooling systems that allow them to operate. This project will investigate nature inspired cooling solutions for thermal management. The student(s) will develop and test cooling solutions that use flow patterns that bring beneficial performance in terms of pressure drop and temperatures and thus permit the operation of demanding systems. It is anticipated that there will be opportunities to expand knowledge of CAD, 3D Printing, Instrumentation and Data Acquisition systems.Research Tasks: Literature review
Designs and Drawings
3D printing
Experiment setup
Data Collection
Publication
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Some knowledge of CAD is desirable
