Modeling, optimization and thermal characterization of micropillar evaporator based high performance silicon vapor chamber by Wei, Mengyao

“…In this thesis, we developed three semi-analytical models in predicting the capillary-limited dryout heat flux of uniform evaporators, biporous evaporators and sealed silicon vapor chambers. We performed optimization to determine the best geometric combinations of the evaporators and vapor chambers by taking the temperature rise into consideration. …”
