Project Parametric study of oscillating heat pipes Program Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Research Program Term Fall 2025 Status Closed Research Area heat transfer Description Oscillating heat pipes favors high working efficiency and can potentially offer high peak cooling capability for high power applications. Existing manufacturing techniques allow the quick creations of complicated flow structures, however the design and testing of the oscillating heat pipes are not currently implemented at high heating powers with reconfigurable shapes. This project will assemble a team of students to work with current graduate students to design, fabricate and test the performance of oscillating heat pipes under different use configurations. This is project is seeking young researcher to continue the researcher efforts from previous year. Supervisor Liang Pan Mentor Type of work required One or more demonstration systems that can study and illustrate the key fundamentals in modern heat transfer applications Websites Qualifications Applicants expect to have one or more of the following capabilities. 1. Fabrication skills in machine shop 2. Use of CAD software 3. Basic Labview programing 4. Thermodynamics Credit Hours 3 Weekly Hours 8 (estimated)
