Compact oscillating heat pipe and development of fuzzy copper or wicking structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)A central processing units (CPU) calculation speed is limited by the heat it produces. As the number of transistors and the clock speed of CPUs increase they become more powerful, but they also generate more heat which ... -
Dynamic study of the piezo-driven pipettes in intracytoplasmic sperm injection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is regarded as a critical assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure in which a single spermatozoon is ... -
Modeling of thin film evaporation heat transfer and experimental investigation of miniature heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The heat pipe, as one of the most efficient heat transport devices, is a peerless choice in the electronic cooling field. In order to better understand the heat transfer mechanisms of the heat pipe, a heat transfer model, ... -
Optimization of electromagnetic acoustic transducers for nondestructive evaluation of concrete structures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)There are more than 130,000 prestressed concrete bridges in the United States with about 37,000 bridges being more than 30 years old. Prestressing steel strands are an important construction element used in these bridges ... -
Uneven turns oscillating heat pipes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)An experimental investigation on oscillating heat pipes with uneven turns was conducted in order to determine the effect of short turns on the heat transport capability. The shorter turns do not go through both the evaporating ...
