摘要/Abstract

摘要：

利用电场与宏观结构协同强化薄液膜沸腾传热，有望突破电子器件高热通量散热瓶颈。以乙醇为工质，设计并加工了6种宏观结构表面，通过高速摄像可视化和沸腾传热测量，系统分析了液膜厚度、结构参数以及荷电电压对薄液膜沸腾传热特性的影响规律。实验结果表明，气泡动力学特性调控是临界热通量（CHF）增强的关键。与不施加电场相比，施加4 kV荷电电压时，宏观结构表面的气泡脱离频率最高可提升80%，气泡脱离直径减小了28%，从而使CHF提升了20%。CHF随着液膜厚度和肋高的增大而增大，随肋间距的增大而减小。在最优条件下，CHF提升幅值可达139%。通过定义CHF增强比发现，液膜厚度对CHF的提升贡献最大（0.37），其次是肋间距（0.24）和荷电电压（0.20）。

Abstract:

The synergistic enhancement of thin liquid film boiling heat transfer by electric field and macrostructure is expected to break through the bottleneck of high heat flux heat dissipation of electronic devices. In this study, six distinct macro-structured surfaces are designed and fabricated to systematically investigate the effects of liquid film thickness, structural parameters, and applied voltage on the boiling heat transfer performance with ethanol as the working medium. High-speed imaging and precise heat transfer measurements are employed to evaluate the boiling characteristics, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms driving the observed enhancements. The dynamics of boiling bubbles are found to significantly influence the enhancement of critical heat flux (CHF). When a 4 kV voltage is applied, the bubble departure frequency increases by up to 80%, while the bubble departure diameter decreases by 28% as compared to 0 kV, resulting in a CHF enhancement of approximately 20%. CHF is positively correlated with liquid film thickness and rib height, but exhibits a negative correlation with rib spacing, achieving an increase of up to 139% in CHF under optimal conditions. Further analysis of the CHF enhancement ratio reveals that liquid film thickness exerts the greatest influence on CHF improvement (0.37), followed by rib spacing (0.24) and applied voltage (0.20).
