PhD Studentship

4 months ago


Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Newcastle University Full time

Award Summary

The studentship provides 100% fees (Home & international), a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19, /25 UKRI rate), and a research training support grant of £20,000.

Overview

This PhD project will develop next generation 3D Heat Pipes for Space Applications, to maximise thermal transport efficiency within advanced electronics for space and terrestrial applications.

Vapour chambers and loop heat pipes are proposed for development into a 3D format. Vapour chambers are ultra-thin heat pipes used to rapidly spread heat in the x-y plane. They have various applications in electronics cooling/heat spreading in space and terrestrial applications. 3D vapour chambers are a recent advancement combining a state-of-art 2D vapour chamber with a traditional heat pipe structure to allow heat spreading and dissipation across all 3 dimensions. Loop heat pipes incorporate a complex evaporator with flexible transport lines, that require development for utilisation in a 3D environment. This project will focus on the advancement of vapour chambers and loop heat pipes into 3 dimensional environments.

Potential applications include in-orbit satellite applications, where maximising thermal performance of waste heat transport from discrete, high heat flux heat sources is paramount, and aerospace applications where the geometry between the heat dissipating source and the heat sink may be tortuous. Other applications include battery pack cooling, cooling of PEM fuel cells and various other key enabling technologies in the drive to net zero.

This PhD project within the PINZ CDT will work closely with Boyd Ashington Ltd to develop the next generation of 3D cooling technologies.
