This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $499,232 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) will investigate the use of novel multicomponent fluid mixtures to enhance heat transfer capabilities for electronic and industrial systems.
The key products and services to be delivered under this 3-year project include: (1) developing a deeper understanding of the stability and important properties of phase change material (PCM) particle and liquid metal suspensions, (2) illuminating the complex heat and mass transfer phenomena in these multicomponent fluid mixtures, and (3) studying the underlying mechanisms of the interactions within the proposed fluid mixture in an oscillating heat pipe system. The research aims to dramatically increase the efficiency of heat dissipation and transport for a wide range of applications. Educational activities, such as creating instructional materials for undergraduate, graduate, high school, and middle school students, are also a key component of this project.
