..., convective liquid metal cooling provides considerably high performance due to its unique thermal properties. This paper first reviews the studies on convective cooling using low-melting-point metals published in the past few decades. A group of equations for the thermophysical properties of In-Ga-Sn eutectic...

... number regimes. Heat transfer challenges with low Pr has given rise to methods for modeling Pr t by fitting either experimental or numerical data to systematically derived equations. Because of the unique thermal distributions for liquid metals, Kays and Crawford [ 7 ] took empirical data using...

...Tingting Hao; Hongbin Ma; Xuehu Ma A new oscillating heat pipe (OHP) charged with hybrid fluids can improve thermal performance. The key difference in this OHP is that it uses room temperature liquid metal (Galinstan consisting of gallium, indium, and tin) and water as the working fluid. The OHP...

... numerical simulation variable properties liquid metal enclosures Liquid metals such as mercury , gallium, or sodium are especially attractive for engineering applications in which effective heat transfer constitutes the primary target. The high molecular thermal conductivity, along...

...Taegyu Kim; Hyun-Ung Oh The feasibility of using a liquid metal with a high thermal conductivity as a functional fluid for realizing a variable conductance radiator (VCR) for space applications was proposed and investigated. The variable thermal conductivity of the radiator can be achieved...

.... Such temperature holding time was longer than most of the conventional phase change materials (PCMs). Moreover, some interesting phase change phenomena were also discovered such that mixing SiO 2 powder with gallium or just shaking the liquid metal container will help reduce the large supercooling of gallium...

... shows a deficiency of models for liquid metal thermosyphons, an analytical model, developed to predict the temperature distribution and the overall thermal resistance, is shown. In this model, the thermosyphon is divided into seven regions: three regions for the condensed liquid, including the condenser...
