This study is the first part of a two-part review of spray cooling, which addresses the
relatively high-flux, low-temperature mechanisms and predictive tools associated with the …

Spray cooling is a technology of increasing interest for electronic cooling and other high
heat flux applications, and is characterized by high heat transfer, uniformity of heat removal …

Surface phenomena play a decisive role in the behaviour of engineering parts; their
understanding and control are fundamental to the development of many advanced fields …

The rapid development of high-power electronic, energy, and propulsion systems has led us
to the point where the performances of these systems are limited by their cooling capacities …

A closed loop spray cooling test setup is established for the cooling of high heat flux heat
sources. Eight miniature nozzles in a multi-nozzle plate are used to generate a spray array …

Effects of spray parameters (mean droplet size, droplet flux, and droplet velocity) on critical
heat flux (CHF) were studied while these parameters were systematically varied. The effect …

Bubble behavior during saturated FC-72 spray cooling was experimentally investigated. A
heater previously used for pool boiling was used to allow direct comparison. The results are …

Spray cooling experiments have been performed on a smooth heater surface. The working
fluid water was atomized through a full cone nozzle into a low pressure spray chamber …

Experiments were performed to evaluate the evaporative heat transfer characteristics of
spray cooling of water on plain and micro-structured silicon surfaces at very low spray mass …

Spray cooling has substantial potential for wide application, given its unique characteristics,
including high heat transfer coefficient, absence of contact thermal resistance, and the …
