... acting as a thermal diode. The low-profile assembly takes advantage of the phase-changing properties of water inside a sealed chamber. The wettability-patterned plate—when on the cooled side, e.g., forward operation mode—enables spatially controlled dropwise condensation (high heat transfer rate...

Micheal Harris This paper presents a performance study done on a semiconductor laser diode in a moisture condensing environment. Devices with laser diodes are used in a wide variety of electronic...

..., a horizontal condenser, a rubber bag attached at the exit of the condenser, a downcomer, a mass flow meter, and a liquid subcooler. The loop height H was set at either 250 or 450 mm. FC-72 was filled in the test loop up to some level of loop height and the upper part was filled with air. During the operation...
