When engineers move beyond a basic copper or aluminum heat sink, they’re tasked with learning about all the options for thermal management. A more powerful passive technology is often their first choice in order to avoid the added complexity and maintenance of fans or pumps. This 30-minute Webinar explains the basic principles of the technologies as well as the elements of designing them into their systems.

Paper presentation: Thermally-driven ejector for vacuum freezing desalination at the triple point by ACT researcher Jianjian Wang (co-authored by Fangyu Cao)
Abstract: Recently an energy-efficient desalination process based on spray vacuum freezing of seawater at the triple point was developed. During this process, the freezing and evaporation of the water happen simultaneously at the triple point with net-zero thermal energy consumption...

Paper Presentation by Calin Tarau: Advanced Thermal Management System For Nuclear-Powered Ice Melting Probe
Abstract: A thermal concept for the ice penetration and navigation probe to support future NASA’s icy planets (e.g. Europa, Enceladus) exploration missions is developed. This thermal concept applies to both nuclear and radioisotope powered systems while the energy conversion is thermoelectric based. The thermal concept contains multiple features that can maximize the power fraction used for forward melting and mitigate a series of foreseen challenges related to icy-planetary missions.
