Description

Jet impingement is an effective method of rapid surface cooling, and is highly dependent on surface condition and properties. Here, silicon surfaces are modified by ion-etching different micropatterns (posts or holes) on one side and coated with Teflon to make them superhydrophobic (SH). The other side of the surface has a screen-printed resistance heater. Surfaces are heated to temperatures between 200 to 320 °C, and then impinged on by a pure water jet at room temperature with flow rates ranging from 6 to 18 mL/s. Results show that there is little effect of microstructure, although hole surfaces and shorter microstructures tend to have slightly higher heat transfer. Heat transfer from the surfaces to the jet is shown to be highly dependent on jet flow rate, but not surface temperature.

Due to COVID-19, the Symposium was not able to be held this year. However, papers and posters were still submitted.
