    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for detection of gas bubbles in a microchannel configured for a conductive fluid to flow therethrough. The methods and apparatuses utilize a plate and at least two aligned electrodes embedded within the plate. The plate is configured to be located over the microchannel such that the at least two aligned electrodes are located along a length of the microchannel in the flow direction. Impedance is measured between the electrodes, and the percentage of gas within the fluid flowing through the microchannel is measured based on the measured impedance between the electrodes.

    Abstract: Jet-impingement, two-phase cooling apparatuses and power electronics modules having a target surface with single- and two-phase surface enhancement features are disclosed. In one embodiment, a cooling apparatus includes a jet plate surface and a target layer. The jet plate surface includes a jet orifice having a jet orifice geometry, wherein the jet orifice is configured to generate an impingement jet of a coolant fluid. The target layer has a target surface, single-phase surface enhancement features, and two-phase surface enhancement features. The target surface is configured to receive the impingement jet, and the single-phase surface enhancement features and the two-phase enhancement features are arranged on the target surface according to the jet orifice geometry. The single-phase surface enhancement features are positioned on the target surface at regions associated with high fluid velocity, and the two-phase surface enhancement features are positioned on the target surface at regions associated with low fluid velocity.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method of enhancing boiling heat transfer therein capable of increasing both the critical heat flux and nucleate boiling heat transfer of a working fluid. The method includes placing free particles on a surface so as to define narrow corner gaps and cavities at interfaces between the particles and the surface and heating the surface while the surface is contacted by the working fluid to bring the working fluid to a boil, with the result that bubble nucleation is facilitated and nucleate boiling heat transfer from the surface is increased.

    Abstract: This paper presents a microfluidic pumping approach using traveling-wave dielectrophoresis (tw-DEP) of microparticles. Flow is generated directly in the microfluidic devices by inducing electromechanical effects in the fluid using microelectrodes. The fluidic driving mechanisms due to the particle-fluid and particle-particle interactions under twDEP are analyzed, and the induced flow field is obtained from numerical simulations. Experimental measurements of the flow velocity in a prototype DEP micropumping device show satisfactory agreement with the numerical predications.
