Enhancement of flow boiling using 3D printed porous structures by Tan, Gan Teng

“…Hence, in order to keep up with future demands and not limit the growth of the microprocessors industry, it is vital to explore methods of cooling to cope with the rate of heat generated. In this project, experimental studies were carried out to investigate the effects of flow rate, heat flux and surface porosity on flow boiling heat transfer. …”

Electrospinning of low density PCL fibers on SLS scaffold by Leong, Yew Meng.

“…In this study, PCL fibers were spun on a spinning mandrel collector and investigated to examine the effects of electrospinning parameters- acceleration voltage and feed rate on fiber diameter. Hence both small (0.5-1um) and large (8-10um) fibers were attempted to be spun by varying acceleration voltage and feed rate. …”
