Energies Webinar | Advanced Research in Two-Phase Heat Transfer
On Thursday, 16 September 2021, MDPI and the Journal Energies organized the 4th webinar on Energies, entitled " Advanced Research in Two-Phase Heat Transfer". Chaired by Prof. Dr. Marco Marengo from the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics of the University of Brighton, the webinar discussed some of the current challenges in the cooling of electronic components by two-phase heat transfer.
Cooling of electronic components is of upmost importance for the Thermal Management of Data Centres (DCs), Fuel Cells (FCs), Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs), Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIBs) as well as a variety of other technological applications. Two-phase Heat Transfer has been proven as one of the most efficient cooling strategies for such High-Power Density conditions. However, such two-phase solutions rely on the phase-change of a working fluid that is pumped through single or multiple parallel mini-channels, and after 40 years, there is still a lack of deep understanding of the complex flow and transport processes. The webinar treated the most relevant issues from three points of view: Prof. Dr. Sandip Dutta showed the data analysis through Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Dr. Ana Sofia Moita treated the experimental analysis and, finally, Dr. Mirco Magnini presented a robust numerical approach, able to approach in a robust way the design of the new thermal solutions in phase change conditions. Q&A sessions were conducted after each speaker to answer any questions submitted by live online audience.
The webinar was offered via Zoom, and registration was required for attendance. The full recording can be found below. To stay updated on upcoming Energies webinars organized by MDPI, be sure to sign up for our newsletter by clicking on “Subscribe” at the top of the page.
