Investigation into the pool-boiling characteristics of gold nanofluids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The use of nanofluids as a heat transfer fluid has drawn considerable attention recently. Within the last five years, work investigating the pool-boiling of these fluids has increased dramatically. However, they have ... -
Investigation of fanless PCs : design and optimization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The purpose of this research is to fundamentally explore the limitations of natural convection as it pertains to the cooling of desktop personal computers (PCs) and, in particular, maximize total thermal loads while ... -
Investigation of the "unit cell" concept for air-to-liquid heat exchanger research and development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)This study investigated the validity of the Unit Cell concept to explore the performance of air-to-liquid heat exchangers. The Unit Cell concept will test only a 15.24 cm by 15.24 cm portion of a full sized prototype coil, ...
