Abstract:
A heat transfer system including a fluid inlet; a fluid outlet; and a substrate in fluid communication with the fluid inlet and fluid outlet, the substrate including a heat exchange region having a heat transfer surface and a flow field adjacent the heat transfer surface, the flow field including a fluid flow area including an open region at the inlet, a heat transfer region in thermal communication with the heat exchange region, and a taper of the flow field cross-sectional area in the flow direction, wherein the flow field heat transfer region includes a plurality of spaced apart open enhancement features from 1 micron to 3 mm in size, and method for enhancing the heat transfer performance of an apparatus is disclosed.

Claim (Index 20):
A flow boiling heat transfer system comprising:\n a fluid inlet; a fluid outlet; a substrate through which heat is transferred across, a portion of the substrate surface comprising a heat transfer region which comprises a heat transfer surface, a plurality of enhancement features from about 1 micron to about 3 mm in height on the surface of the substrate and an open top, wherein a fluidic region is bounded on the bottom by the heat transfer surface and on the sides by the plurality of enhancement features; and a flow field comprising an open region extending between the fluid inlet and fluid outlet and the fluidic region comprising the area between the enhancement features, the fluidic region in fluid communication with and adjacent to the open region through the open top, wherein in any cross-section of the heat transfer region fluid in the heat transfer region is in fluid communication with the open region and wherein the flow field cross-sectional area increases in the fluid flow direction by increasing the height normal to the substrate of the flow field and the open region which reduces the acceleration pressure drop as well as total pressure drop and enhances critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient during boiling of a fluid flowing through the flow field.
