WSU receives NSF EPSCoR award
Dr. Gisuk Hwang
, titled his proposed project
Tailored Flow Boiling Mechanisms Using 3D Printed Multifunctional Wick Structures.
Efficient and sustainable electrical power generation is critical to the U.S. energy supply/security and economy, and it is dominated by thermo-electric systems as 83 percent of the electricity in 2018 was generated from fossil fuels and nuclear energy. The efficiency of electrical power production is bottle-necked by the performance of a steam generator, i.e., flow boiler, which is caused by local premature water dry-out from excessive unwanted vapor blankets. To address this challenge, the research will incorporate a multifunctional wick structure for effective liquid-vapor separation, to simultaneously advance current technical limits on heat transfer coefficient and maximum heat transfer rate per given surface area without creating a significant hydraulic pressure drop. A key success of the proposed research requires an advanced manufacturing approach for the proposed multifunctional wick structure with complex geometries. Hwang will conduct the research working with a collaborator at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln (UNL) using a state-of-the-art metallic 3D printer with a high resolution at Nano-Engineering Research Core Facility. Also, this fellowship will greatly strengthen the collaboration between the WSU and UNL. The obtained new knowledge will be implemented into the education plans, which will empower the future engineering workforce.
