Volume analysis of cooling systems with synthetic jet actuator

Design of synthetic jet actuator based on FSMA composite

An improved version of the membrane actuator has been designed and constructed based on our previous diaphragm actuator. It consists of ferromagnetic shape memory alloy composite (FSMA) diaphragm and an electromagnet system. The actuation mechanism of the membrane actuator is the hybrid mechanism that we proposed previously. The high momentum airflow will be produced by the oscillation of the c...

Experimental Heat Transfer Enhancement for Single Phase Liquid Micro-Channel Cooling Using A Micro-Synthetic Jet Actuator

The present work experimentally investigates the thermal effects of a synthetic jet actuator on the heat transfer performance of single-phase flow confined in a microchannel heat sink. The heat sink consisted of a single rectangular microchannel 500 μm wide, 300 μm deep and 26 mm long. Deionized water was employed as the cooling fluid. A synthetic jet actuator with a 100 μm diameter orifice was...

Synthetic and jet fuels pyrolysis for cooling and combustion applications

A penalty model of synthetic micro-jet actuator with application to the control of wake flows

A simple model of synthetic (zero-net mass-flux) micro-jet is proposed and implemented in a large-eddy simulation spectral solver of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Essentially, it is simply required to introduce a penalty like term in the momentum equation, with a variable penalty coefficient that culminates during the expulsion phase. Examples of applications are considered for th...

Fragment-Free Mass Spectrometric Analysis with Jet Cooling/VUV Photoionization.

We show that it is possible to obtain fragment-free mass spectra of large molecules by a combination of laser desorption, jet cooling, and VUV single-photon photoionization. The ability to obtain parent molecular masses is particularly important for the analysis of mixtures, such as combinations of fully saturated hydrocarbons. By varying the cooling conditions, we can also achieve partial frag...
