Abstract: We present results of modeling for the design of microgaps for the removal of high heat fluxes via a strategy of high mass flux, high quality, and two-phase forced convection. Modeling includes (I) thermodynamic analysis to obtain performance trends across a wide range of candidate coolants, (2) evaluation of worst-case pressure drop due to contraction and expansion in inlet/outlet manifolds, and (3) ID reduced-order simulations to obtain realistic estimates of different contributions to the pressure drops. The main result is the identification of a general trend of improved heat transfer performance at higher system pressure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
