...Xiaobo Sun; Aiping Yu; Palanisamy Ramesh; Elena Bekyarova; Mikhail E. Itkis; Robert C. Haddon We report a 40% improvement of the thermal conductivity of graphite nanoplatelets–epoxy composites by chemical functionalization of graphite nanoplatelets utilizing nitric acid treatment, which also serves...

... channel design for an array of generic power amplifier units. Several different channel insert configurations are investigated as miniheat exchangers using both copper fins and graphite foam. Experiments were conducted measuring the chip temperatures as well as the inlet liquid temperature. CFD...

...Minhua Lu; Larry Mok; R. J. Bezama A vapor chamber using high thermal conductivity and permeability graphite foam as a wick has been designed, built, and tested. With ethanol as the working fluid, the vapor chamber has been demonstrated at a heat flux of 80 W ∕ cm 2 . The effects of the capillary...

...Johnathan S. Coursey; Jungho Kim; Paul J. Boudreaux This paper presents the results of an investigation of the thermal performance of a graphite foam thermosyphon evaporator and discusses the foam’s potential for use in the thermal management of electronics. The graphitized carbon foam used...
