Developing clean energy and utilizing waste energy has become
increasingly vital. Research targeting the advancement of thermally
powered adsorption cooling technologies has progressed in the past
few decades, and the awareness of fuel cells and thermally
activated (heat pipe heat exchangers) adsorption systems using
natural refrigerants and/or alternatives to hydrofluorocarbon-based
refrigerants is becoming ever more important. Heat Pipes and Solid
Sorption Transformations: Fundamentals and Practical Applications
concentrates on state-of-the-art adsorption research and
technologies for relevant applications based on the use of
efficient heat transfer devices-heat pipe and two-phase
thermosyphons-with the objectives of energy efficiency and
sustainability. This book also discusses heat pipe thermal control
as it relates to spacecraft applications. The first few chapters of
Heat Pipes and Solid Sorption Transformations: Fundamentals and
Practical Applications focus on heating and cooling, the principles
of adsorption, adsorption dynamics, and the availability of
three-phase boundaries. Other chapters cover successful heat pipe
applications and heat-pipe-based thermal control of fuel cells,
solid sorption transformers, and electronic components and
air-condition devices. The final chapters summarize the
achievements in the field of heat and mass transfer study in heat
pipes with variable properties such as gas loaded heat pipes.
Several configurations of thermosyphons are showcased, with
suggested applications. A number of examples of equipment using the
thermosyphon technology are presented and, in the final chapter,
the concept of flow boiling and flow condensation heat transfer in
micochannels is analyzed in detail.

This volume contains an archival record of the NATO Advanced
Institute on Microscale Heat Transfer - Fundamental and
Applications in Biological and Microelectromechanical Systems held
in Cesme - Izmir, Turkey, July 18-30, 2004. The ASIs are intended
to be high-level teaching activity in scientific and technical
areas of current concern. In this volume, the reader may find
interesting chapters and various Microscale Heat Transfer
Fundamental and Applications. The growing use of electronics, in
both military and civilian applications has led to the widespread
recognition for need of thermal packaging and management. The use
of higher densities and frequencies in microelectronic circuits for
computers are increasing day by day. They require effective cooling
due to heat generated that is to be dissipated from a relatively
low surface area. Hence, the development of efficient cooling
techniques for integrated circuit chips is one of the important
contemporary applications of Microscale Heat Transfer which has
received much attention for cooling of high power electronics and
applications in biomechanical and aerospace industries.
Microelectromechanical systems are subject of increasing active
research in a widening field of discipline. These topics and others
are the main themeof this Institute."
