Enhancement of heat transfer by micro-electro-mechanical devices: numerical and experimental study

本项目的主要目标是探讨一种全新的电子-微电子设备(EMD)冷却概念。我们将通过已建的微电子机械系统(MEMS)将冷却系统集成到EMD中。应用领域是如此创新，以至于没有在如此小的物理尺度上模拟热传递的工程经验。这个项目的第一个目标是填补这一知识的不足，并使用从实验中获得的实验数据来验证可能的数值程序，该实验数据也是为本项目计划的。一旦建立了评估热通量的适当程序，我们将优化微型设备中的换热增强剂的配置。

The main goal of the present project is to approach a completely new concept for cooling electronic-micro-devices (EMD). We will integrate the cooling system in the EMD by mean of built micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). The area of application is so innovative, that there is no engineering experience for modelling heat transfer at such small physical scales. The first goal of this project is to fill this lack of knowledge and to validate the possible numerical procedure using experimental data obtained from experiments, also planned for the present project. Once a suitable procedure has been established for evaluating heat fluxes , we will optimized configurations for heat transfer enhancers in micro devices.
