• Enhancement of the cooling performance of microchannel heat sinks 

    Rajabifar, Bahram (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
    In this report, four different strategies to enhance the cooling performance of a micro pin fin heat sink are investigated and their effect to improve its cooling efficiency are examined. The employment of nanoparticles ...
  • Mechanical analysis of a growing carbon nanotube forest 

    Ajiboye, Damola M. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
    Carbon nanotube forests are vertically oriented and entangled tubes that grow normal to a given substrate. The excellent thermal, mechanical, and electronic properties of individual carbon nanotubes motivates their study. ...
