“…The challenges in the development of miniature VCR for electronics cooling were summarized in ref. [7] as follows: (i) the need for efficient, reliable and compact compressor, (ii) the moisture condensation in the heat sink region, (iii) the cost of the system, (iv) the system should be able to handle variable load and heat dissipation with fast response, (v) the issue of noise and vibration. Microchannel heat exchangers can play an important role in the development of miniature VCR systems because of their capability to provide a high degree of compactness.…”

“…Despite these high heat fluxes, electronics cooling using flow boiling in microchannels is only limited to lab-scale and is not commercially available due to the lack of accurate design equations and the lack of understanding several fundamental issues. These issues include the following: (1) the precise definition of a microchannel and hence design equations to be used, (2) boiling incipience and bubble dynamics, (3) the dominant heat transfer mechanism(s), (4) flow instability, (5) effect of surface microstructure, (6) early dryout and low critical heat flux, (7) prediction of flow patterns, heat transfer rates and pressure drop. The current research group conducted extensive research on flow boiling in single and multi-microchannels configurations and studied the effect of several parameters, which can help understand most of the aforementioned fundamental issues.…”

“…For some mobile cooling applications in severely hot environment for infantry, policemen, firemen, etc., the MVCR seems to be the only effective solution for long time personal cooling because of high efficiency and compactness. Thus the MVCR is considered as one of the most promising technology for personal cooling and electronics cooling [10]. In these applications, the high flux heat dissipation is critical while the energy consumption for the cooling process should not be too much.…”

“…[ 5 ] Water condensation is also intrinsic to various technological applications like fog harvesting, [ 6–8 ] seawater desalination, [ 9 ] and heat exchangers for power generation [ 10 ] and refrigeration. [ 11,12 ] In all cases, efficient condensation and removal (or “collection”) of the condensed liquid is essential. The entire cycle of condensation consists of a series of steps, namely the nucleation of liquid on an initially dry solid surface, the subsequent growth of the liquid phase in form of droplets (or a film), and finally the removal of the condensate such that a subsequent generation of drops can nucleate.…”
