Abstract

A study of the thermal performance and sensitivity of a two-dimensional model of wick-boiling in thin porous deposits with uniformly distributed chimneys has been conducted. It reveals that such layers have significant potential for use in immersion cooling on surfaces with heat fluxes in the range of 50 to 300 watts/cm2. It also shows the relative insensitivity of such layers to degree of bulk coolant subcooling and chimney population density, as well as the variety of coolants and porous materials which can be utilized in the layers. Such surfaces also show improved performance over clean boiling surfaces at high heat fluxes. Moreover, the model also shows that the maximum superheat in the porous media near the heating surface is not strongly influenced by the convective heat transfer coefficient at the crud-coolant interface.
