This paper examines and analytically reviews the thermal management systems proposed
over the past six decades for gas turbine civil aero engines. The objective is to establish the …

A temperature control approach using evaporative spray cooling of vibrating surfaces in the
nucleate boiling region is proposed and verified experimentally. This is relevant to …

New empirical correlation models are constructed to characterise heat transfer associated
with spray evaporative cooling of vibrating surfaces-a process involving complex two-phase …

A new simulation capability is presented to enable the performance of a hardware-based
temperature control system to be assessed in thermally-managing heat-generating …

This thesis presents the numerical simulation of fluid dynamics, as well as heat and mass
transfer for drop impingement on a hot solid surface for low and high ambient pressures. The …
