| The Micro Scale Heat Transfer Laboratory (MSHTL) develops state of the art experimentation in processes such as micro-boiling, spray cooling, and Laser Induced Fluorescence Thermometry. Today trends indicate that these processes are finding interesting applications on drop-on-demand delivery systems, ink-jet technology and fast transient systems (such as combustion or microseconds scale boiling).
SCU Research Team: HP-Aguadilla, PR Research Team: Lester Ortiz Julio Cartagena HP-Palo Alto, CA Collaborators: Mr. Cullen Bash Dr. Ratnesh Sharma Homogeneous boiling, heterogeneous boiling, bubble growth rate and other parameters are investigated on micro-heaters under the effect of applied energy pulses with duration of microseconds.
Temperature Characterization in Micro-channels Instantaneous temperature variations in space and time are investigated through experimental measurements in micro-channels, also the effect of the temperature history term in boiling processes inside micro-channels.
Characterization of the thermal ink jet process through modeling and experimentation. Thermo and hydrodynamics variables are investigated in the ink jet process.
Characterization of pressure behavior and fluid flow in small fluid reservoirs.
Laboratory Facilities and Equipment A list of the experimental capabilities and of the equipment available at the laboratory is found on this link.
