Prediction and Characterization of Dry-out Heat Flux in Micropillar Wick Structures

Thin-film evaporation in wick structures for cooling high-performance electronic devices is attractive because it harnesses the latent heat of vaporization and does not require external pumping. However, optimizing the wick structures to increase the dry-out heat flux is challenging due to the compl...
