Modeling Single-phase And Boiling Liquid Jet Impingement Cooling In Power Electronics by National National Renewable Energy Laboratory (Nr

Jet impingement has been an attractive cooling option in a number of industries over the past few decades. Over the past 15 years, jet impingement has been explored as a cooling option in microelectronics. Recently, interest has been expressed by the automotive industry in exploring jet impingement for cooling power electronics components. This technical report explores, from a modeling perspective, both single-phase and boiling jet impingement cooling in power electronics, primarily from a heat transfer viewpoint. The discussion is from the viewpoint of the cooling of IGBTs (insulated-gate bipolar transistors), which are found in hybrid automobile inverters. | Modeling Single-phase And Boiling Liquid Jet Impingement Cooling In Power Electronics by National National Renewable Energy Laboratory (Nr
