To mitigate this, chemical vapor deposited (CVD) diamond has been demonstrated as an effective solution for thermal management of these devices by directly growing onto the transistor substrate. A key aspect of power and radio frequency (RF) electronic devices involves transient switching behavior, which highlights the importance of understanding the temperature dependence of a material’s heat capacity and thermal conductivity when modeling and predicting a devices electro-thermal response. Due to the complicated microstructure near the interface between CVD diamond and electronic material, it is difficult to measure both properties simultaneously. In this work, we use time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) to simultaneously measure the in-plane thermal conductivity and heat capacity of a 1-µm-thick CVD diamond film via multi-frequency analysis. We obtain temperature dependent thermal properties by using the pump beam to heat the sample according to increasing power. This mitigates the need for a more complicated setup using a thermal stage but has limited upper temperature boundaries based on the sample geometry and thermal properties. The results show that the in-plane thermal conductivity varied slightly with an average of 103 W/m-K over a temperature range of 302–327 K, while the specific heat capacity has a strong temperature dependence over the same range and compares well with heat capacity data of natural diamond in literature.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":"166 - 178"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45983292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The effect of surface morphology on the rate of phase change of micron and sub-micron sized 2-D droplets","authors":"Mohammad Rezaeimoghaddam, Z. Dursunkaya","doi":"10.1080/15567265.2020.1853290","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/15567265.2020.1853290","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Heat transfer via phase change is a major contributor to heat removal in numerous engineering applications. Thin films of liquid result in increased heat transfer due to a reduction of conduction resistance, in addition the pressure jump at the liquid-vapor interface also affects the rate and direction of the rate of phase change. Because of these effects the morphology of the substrate surface is expected to affect the film shape, hence heat transfer, especially in thin films. In this study, the influence of surface characteristics on the rate of phase change from micron- and submicron-sized 2D droplets – i.e. films extending to infinity – forming on a substrate are modeled. Surface film profiles are generated on both flat and nonflat surfaces, triangular or wavy in nature, and a kinetic model for quasi-equilibrium phase change is applied. In the case of wavy surfaces, the surface is assumed to be a harmonic wave with an amplitude equal to the surface roughness and a wavelength corresponding to values commonly encountered in applications. Due to the presence of intermolecular forces at the contact line, which renders the solution of the augmented Young-Laplace equation stiff, an implicit scheme is employed for the numerical integration. To verify the method, the predictions of a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of a nano-sized droplet present on a V-grooved surface are compared to the continuum model. The augmented Young-Laplace equation is solved numerically along with a phase change model originating from kinetic theory to calculate the shape of the two-phase interface forming the droplet and study the effect of various parameters on the rate of phase change. Results are obtained for droplets with liquid pressures higher and lower than that of vapor, resulting in opposite contribution to phase change due to the pressure jump at the interface. The results show that the heat-transfer rate can be substantially altered due primarily to the combined effects of surface morphology and disjoining pressure. It is also concluded that wavy surfaces with short amplitudes are preferable to ones with longer amplitudes for enhancing the rate of evaporation or condensation.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"184 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15567265.2020.1853290","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41915700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high critical heat flux and low wall superheat are two of the critical factors that affect the long-term life of devices. In this paper, enhanced pool boiling performance can be achieved by well-designed microchannels in copper surfaces using a precision diamond dicing method. The microchannel patterned surface with the channel length of 0.4 mm obtains a critical heat flux of 169.8 W/cm2, which has a 193% enhancement compared to the plain surface. Besides, the extremely low wall superheat of 3 K has been achieved, and thus the heat transfer coefficient reaches 51.8 W/cm2·K, about 738% larger than that of the plain surface. Herein, the microcavity has increased the nucleation site, the surface can promote the bubbles escape, and then the channel can continuously supply the liquid. Hence, the extremely low wall superheat at high heat flux occurs due to the rapid bubble departure and enhanced capillary feeding of liquid replenishment to active nucleation sites on the surface. The above results provide an effective way for the realization of high-performance two-phase microchannel patterned heat sinks via optimizing the microstructure geometry.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"66 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15567265.2020.1744776","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43081800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is true for the high electron mobility transistors made from GaN where both the thickness of the buffer layer and localized heating causing ballistic-diffusive heat transfer may complicate the transport properties needed to describe the device thermal response. In this work, we obtain the mean free path–thermal conductivity relation of phonons in bulk wurtzite GaN crystals using two different, ab-initio-based calculations. While the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP) is used in both approaches at the initial stage, the first method does not calculate the third-order force constants (FCs) and approximates the anharmonicity with a single fitting parameter in determination of discrete phonon properties thermal conductivity and relaxation time, while the second method uses third-order force constants directly. Results show that the third-order FCs are important in modeling the contribution of high-frequency optical phonons with relatively short MFPs, to the thermal conductivity of the material. Yet these effects are more significant at high temperatures and at samples without crystallographic disorders, and they can be omitted while modeling the real samples at low temperatures.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"80 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15567265.2020.1744777","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46412349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results revealed that a strong mutual influence exists between the solidification interface and the nanoparticle on the wall’s surface; the nanoparticle on the wall prevents water solidification in proximity to the wall.

In this paper, an improved phonon Monte Carlo (MC) simulation algorithm is developed based on the Callaway’s dual relaxation time approximation model, which can deal with the coupling of normal and resistance scattering processes. Via the method, more thermal wave evidences are observed from the microscopic view of phonons, including overshooting and diffraction. Furthermore, the ballistic and hydrodynamic thermal waves are deeply studied. Two kinds of dissipation are found to exist in thermal waves, namely spatial dissipation and resistance dissipation. The former keeps the conservation of phonon momentum, but it lengthens the wavelength and decreases the peak temperature. The latter destroys the phonon momentum and keeps the original profile, lowering the peak temperature. Finally, phonon transport phenomena in Ziman hydrodynamic regime and diffusive regime are investigated, by introducing the scattering probability. The propagation tendency of thermal energy is found to decrease with the increasing scattering probability. The investigations into phonon hydrodynamics help to understand the heat transport characteristics and improve thermal management in low-dimensional materials.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"122 - 94"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15567265.2020.1755399","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46185567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a brief review of the kinetic theory of phase change is provided, and the mass accommodation coefficient (MAC, ) and its inconsistent definitions are discussed. The discussion focuses on the departure from equilibrium; represented as a macroscopic “drift” velocity. Then, a continuous flow, phase change driven molecular-dynamics setup is used to investigate steady-state condensation at a flat liquid-vapor interface of argon at various phase-change rates and temperatures to elucidate the effect of equilibrium departure. MAC is computed directly from the kinetic theory-based Hertz–Knudsen (H-K) and Schrage (exact and approximate) expressions without the need for a priori physical definitions, ad-hoc particle injection/removal, or particle counting.

Accurate modeling of TPV cells in these conditions is crucial for the design and optimization of near-field TPV systems. The conventional or standard modeling method uses the summation of the dark current and the short-circuit current, while the direct method applies the photon chemical potential. It has been shown that the two methods are linked through a modification of the direct method using Wien’s approximation. By contrasting different modeling approaches, we quantitatively analyze the effects of evanescent waves on the TPV cell performance parameters, especially the dark current, for different emitter and cell materials in the near-field regime. Our results show that the saturation current by radiative recombination is strongly affected by evanescent waves and the bandgap energy. The current-voltage characteristics calculated by different modeling methods are displayed to demonstrate that a constant saturation current typically used in the standard method could cause substantial error in the near-field regime. For a TPV system with an emitter operating at relatively low temperatures, we show that it is necessary to include the photon chemical potential in the computation of the net radiative heat transfer between the emitter and receiver.","PeriodicalId":49784,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale and Microscale Thermophysical Engineering","volume":"24 1","pages":"1 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15567265.2019.1683106","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42171311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
