Abstract:
1. A system for cooling a heating-generating device therein, the system comprises: a cooling system that directs a cooling material on a surface of the heat-generating device therein; a plurality of temperature sensors mounted on a surface of the heat generating device and embedded in the heat-generating device; and a controller to receive a measured temperature of the surface of the heat-generating device and a measured temperature gradient based on temperature measurements of two or more different locations on the heat-generating device for use to compute a volumetric flux for the cooling material in the cooling system and a dissipated heat of the heat-generating device, to derive a critical heat flux (CHF) of the heat-generating device based on the computed volumetric flux, to determine whether the computed dissipated heat of the heat-generating device plus a tolerance range for the computed dissipated heat is less than the derived CHF, and to set a rate of application of the cooling material on the surface of the heat-generating device based upon whether the computed dissipated heat of the heat-generating device plus the tolerance range is less than the derived CHF.
