- 요약The rapid rise in power density in modern electronics, from microprocessors to data centers, demands advanced thermal management strategies capable of removing high heat fluxes from confined areas. Two-phase cooling methods that use liquid-to-vapor phase change are promising because of their large latent heat and high heat transfer coefficient. This thesis examines boiling and thin-film evaporation as thermal management solutions, focusing on improving performance through engineered surfaces.In the first part of the thesis, we designed and built an experimental setup for saturated pool boiling of de-ionized water on copper surfaces. In particular, oil-impregnated surfaces were studied to understand how the presence of a lubricating layer influences bubble dynamics and heat transfer performance. High-speed visualization showed that bubbles on oil-impregnated surfaces had an average departure diameter about 60 % larger and a residence time about 70 % longer than bubbles on corresponding surfaces without lubricant. The annular wetting ridge and wrapping layer play a crucial role in delaying bubble coalescence and increasing departure diameter. The critical heat flux (CHF) on oil-impregnated surfaces was ≈28-36 W/cm2, comparable to that of the counterpart surface without oil (≈27 W/cm2). This result is attributed to oil depletion, which rendered the oil-impregnated surfaces superhydrophobic, as confirmed by surface characterization after boiling. This work provides new insights into oil depletion mechanisms and highlights potential pathways for improving surface durability and performance under boiling conditions.The second part of this thesis focuses on enhancing pool boiling heat transfer in saturated deionized water using re-entrant silicon microcavity structures. A custom experimental setup based on thin-film (≈100 nm) heater on the back side of the silicon sample was designed and built. Re-entrant microcavities with oxide cap thicknesses of 2 µm, 1 µm, and 0.5 µm, and vertical microcavities were fabricated on silicon surfaces. The re-entrant microcavities triggered nucleate boiling at a lower superheat than the vertical microcavities. The re-entrant surfaces with a 2 µm thick cap achieved the highest critical heat flux (CHF) of ≈156 W/cm2, corresponding to a ≈117 % increase over vertical cavities and a ≈58 % increase over flat surfaces. This demonstrates that the re-entrant microgeometry strongly enhances boiling heat transfer. The re-entrant surfaces with 1 µm and 0.5 µm caps reached a CHF of ≈142 W/cm2 and ≈136 W/cm2, respectively, showing that increasing the capping layer thickness improves the CHF for re-entrant microcavity surfaces. These results underscore the significant influence of microscale surface geometry on boiling heat transfer.In the third part of the thesis, we develop and validate a numerical framework to model capillary-limited thin-film evaporation of water from well-defined silicon micropillar wicks. Using a combination of the Young-Laplace equation and conservation laws, the model predicts liquid pressure, meniscus shape, and dry-out heat flux under steady-state conditions. The model is validated using published experimental data. When fixing the micropillar spacing and height, we optimized the distribution of micropillar diameter along the evaporator wick using genetic algorithms for maximum dry-out heat flux. We show that variable-density wicks with sparse pillars near the reservoir and dense pillars near the hotspot can enhance the dry-out heat flux by up to 96% (≈165 W/cm2), compared to uniform wicks (≈84 W/cm2).Together, these studies improve understanding of two-phase transport on structured surfaces and provide strategies for improving boiling and evaporation for thermal management. The results are directly relevant to next-generation cooling systems for high-performance, power-dense electronics.
