U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Ebulliton in Porous Media

这个为期三年的奖项将支持美国密歇根大学的马苏德·卡维亚尼（Massoud kavaviany）和法国波尔多高等工艺美术学院的米歇尔·夸塔尔（Michel Quantard）在热传导领域的合作研究。本研究的目的是研究液体在多孔介质中的蒸发。研究人员将解决固体、液体和气相之间的热不平衡，以了解和预测蒸发速率以及热和水力现象。美国调查员在实验和分析方面的专业知识与法国在建模和理论方面的专业知识相辅相成。研究结果在热管和蒸腾冷却方面具有实际应用价值。

This three-year award will support U.S.-France cooperative research in heat transfer between Massoud Kaviany of the University of Michigan and Michel Quantard of the Ecole Normale Superieure d'Arts et Metiers in Bordeaux, France. The objective of the research is to study the evaporation of liquids in porous media. The investigators will address thermal nonequilibrium among the solid, liquid and gas phases in order to understand and predict the evaporation rate and thermal and hydraulic phenomena. The U.S. investigator's expertise in experiment and analysis is complemented by French expertise in modeling and theory. The results may have practical applications in heat pipes and transpiration cooling.
