New Research Grant for Heat Transfer Study
2 May 2008Heat is evolved whenever an electronic or electrical device is used and managing heat is still a tough challenge before all of the users. Now Air Force has assigned a task to the team of researchers led by University of Michigan engineer who will receive a grant of $ 6.8 million for finding the solution for the next five year.
The team leader Kevin Pipe is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and his research group includes nine scientists and engineers from three different universities including University of California and Brown University.
Management of heat flow is critically important to deliver performance and reliability and inefficient heat flow is a major roadblock for the development of high power electronic devices including lasers and transistors. If heat flow is properly blocked, it can dramatically improve the efficiency of the electronic devices.
The other renowned members of the Air Force Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program includes professors Robero Merlin and Humphrey Maris, engineering professor Arto Nurmikko, material science and engineering professors Rachel Goldman and John Kieffer and electrical engineering associate professor Ali Shakouri.
