Presidential Young Investigator Award: Heat Transfer in Irregular Geometries

在大多数涉及流体流动的传热装置中，流道的形状都是不规则的。此外，为了增加传热速率，经常在流动通道中引入不规则结构。将重点深入研究不规则通道中的传热。它将涵盖强制对流和自然对流两种情况。作为一个特别的研究重点，将处理电子设备的冷却，这是一个关键的传热应用。

In most heat transfer devices which involve fluid flow, the flow passages are irregular in shape. Furthermore, in an attempt to increase the rates of heat transfer, irregularities are often introduced into flow passages. A focused, in-depth study of heat transfer in irregular passages will be conducted. It will cover both forced convection and natural convection situations. As a special focus, the research will deal with the cooling of electronic equipment, which is a key heat transfer application.
