Abstract: | For many years, spray cooling has been known as a promising technology for the removal of high heat fluxes. However, that promise has yet to be fully realized. This work presents a current understanding of the mechanisms of spray cooling and its limitations. To address these limitations, a novel spray nozzle array is described that allows for scalable, high-performance cooling. However, fluid management remains a challenging concern that may limit the application of this technology. |
