Project description
Expertise in heat transfer and thermal management solutions
Electronic and digital devices are all around us, affecting every area of daily life. With energy consumption also rising, there more periods of intense power demands and heat dissipation. Thermal management techniques cannot reach the same rate to keep up with the development of portable and powerful devices. Microchannel-based technologies can tackle thermal management and cooling issues in line with the EU legislation for heating and cooling. The EU-funded Micro-FloTec project will exchange expertise from 17 research institutions and two industrial partners to generate significant advancements for heat transfer and thermal management solutions. The project will address problems within morphological optimisation of the multiphase heat transfer performance and flow resistance reduction, surface modification techniques, and the application of multi-phase physics for performance prompting.
Objective
With the emergence of Industry 4.0 electronic and digital devices are incorporated into almost all high tech applications. There has also been a notable shift towards compact electronic devices, which requires more intense operating powers — leading to enormous heat dissipation. Thus, whilst devices are increasingly becoming portable and powerful, thermal management techniques are arguably not catching up at the same rate. Hence, continuous improvement and innovative approaches are needed. In this regard, microchannel-based techniques present innovative possibilities to tackle thermal management and cooling issues in modern appliances across various industries, aligning with the trend to adopt more sustainable approaches and the EU 2016 legislation for heating and cooling. Consequently, our 'Micro-FloTec' project adapts an international, multidisciplinary, and collaborative approach to exchange expertise from 17 research institutions and two industrial partners to trigger significant advancements and agile development for heat transfer and thermal management solutions. The consortium shares robust experience and skills related to heat transfer enhancement, large-scale electrical energy storage via thermal processes, new generation materials science, multi-phase flow, flow and heat transfer of high-temperature rotating parts, design and modelling for energy-efficient control systems, marketing and entrepreneurship skills, amongst others. Based on the appraisal of the current state-of-the-art literature and technologies, we aim to tackle problems within morphological optimization of multiphase heat transfer performance and flow resistance reduction, surface modification techniques, and application of multi-phase physics for performance prompting. Our project will hopefully achieve cost-effective and sustainable solutions, initiate future advancements and investigations, and contribute towards the EU's 2050 long-term strategy for climate and energy saving goals.
