Design and Modeling of Membrane-Based Evaporative Cooling Devices for Thermal Management of High Heat Fluxes

We present a high-heat-flux cooling device for advanced thermal management of electronics. The device incorporates nanoporous membranes supported on microchannels to enable thin-film evaporation. The underlying concept takes advantage of the capillary pressure generated by small pores in the membran...
