Electrohydrodynamically enhanced capillary evaporator
Abstract
A two-phase capillary evaporator has been enhanced using electrohydrodynamic (EHD) forces. The evaporator was experimentally investigated under DC applied electric field operating modes as well as without an applied electric field. The results without the applied EHD forces show that the induced flow increases with increasing applied heat loads until a dry out condition is reached. The applied DC voltage electric field provides flow …
