The Effect of Land Cover Change on Urban Heat Island Phenomenon Based on Remote Sensing in Probolinggo City

Probolinggo City is located in East Java Province, Indonesia. Based on BPS data for the City of Probolinggo in 2023, it shows an increase in population growth rate of 1.7% annually. The development of the number and increase in the activity of the population of Probolinggo City certainly affects the increase in the number of built-up areas to meet human needs. An increase in the number of built-up land has led to changes in the environment and urban land use, characterized by declining air quality and global warming due to the increasing phenomenon of Urban Heat Island (UHI). This research was conducted to determine the spatial distribution of surface temperature and the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon and the effect of land cover on the UHI phenomenon. The research was conducted using UHI analysis using the Landsat 8 OLI remote sensing approach to obtain surface temperature values and high-resolution aerial photographs through data extraction. Based on the data processing results carried out over five years in 2013, 2017, and 2022, it is known that high and very high temperatures dominate the surface temperature of Probolinggo City. In addition, there is an effect of land cover on surface temperature based on the results of a simple linear regression analysis.

Numerical Simulation of Water Film Flow and Breakup on Anti-Icing Surface

The flow and morphological characteristics of liquid water on the icing and anti-icing surfaces of aircraft are closely related to the icing characteristics and anti-icing surface temperature distribution. To predict the flow and breakup characteristics of a water film, a 3D model of continuous water film flow and a model of water film breakup into rivulets on an anti-icing surface were constructed based on the icing model, and the corresponding methods for solving the models were developed. Using the NACA0012 airfoil as a simulation object, the changing characteristics of height and velocity for a continuous water film with time and the morphological characteristics of rivulets formed from the breakup of a continuous water film were simulated numerically. The results indicate that, with an increase in inflow velocity, the time required for the water film to completely cover the surface and reach stability decreases. Downstream in the water droplet impact zone, the calculated values of continuous water film height align well with experiments, as well as the stream height at the continuous water film rupture location with the experimental values. With the reasonable contact angle, the calculation error of the stream width is within 10%.

Geographic analysis of the distribution of surface temperature, vegetation cover and its relationship with socioeconomic indicators – Cuiabá/MT

In Brazil and around the world, the problems resulting from urban planning, changes in land cover and the increase in urban infrastructure influence temperature change. The aim of this research is to understand the difference in temperature over the last 36 years (1985-2021) in the city of Cuiabá/MT, and its relationship with vegetation and socioeconomic and racial-ethnic factors. Annual images (36 images) from the Landsat 5 and 8 satellites between 1985 and 2021 were used, and Google Earth Engine was used to obtain this data for the urban area of the city of Cuiabá. Mapping of the spatial distribution of surface temperature, vegetation and changes in land use and cover was carried out using data from the MapBiomas project and socio-economic data from the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics in English) 2010 census. The results indicated that over the last 36 years Cuiabá's surface temperature has increased by an average of 13°C, as part of the result of the growth of urban infrastructure and loss of vegetation cover, specifically in the peripheral areas. There is an inequality between the high-income population living in neighborhoods with milder temperatures and the low-income population living in neighborhoods with higher temperatures. In the temperature and skin color data, the white population generally lives in neighborhoods with milder temperatures, unlike the black population, which mostly suffers from high temperatures.

Seasonal Variability of Sea Surface Chlorophyll-a at West Borneo Island

The optimization of marine fisheries activities can be achieved through an understanding of the timing of fishing, access to good information, and knowledge of oceanographic conditions. These conditions often lead to significant nutrient enrichment in the surface layer of the ocean, which in turn increases the sea surface chlorophyll-a (SSC). In the context of the west Borneo Island region, seasonal variability in SSC plays a crucial role in determining potential fishing grounds. The objectives of this study are examining the seasonal variability of SSC, identifying upwelling and downwelling processes through analysis of sea surface wind (SSW), and determining the climatological distribution of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH) within the water off Labuan Island, Malaysian Borneo, and the Karimata Strait, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Remote sensing data spanning from 2007 to 2021 were analyzed, encompassing SSC, SST, SSH anomalies, SSW, wind stress curl, and Ekman pumping. Additionally, rainfall and river discharge were examined as supplementary indicators of these oceanographic processes. The findings indicate that SSW plays a pivotal role in driving upwelling and downwelling processes, which in turn influence SSC variability. In Labuan waters, upwelling occurs primarily from November to February, while downwelling predominates from June to September. In contrast, in the Karimata Strait, upwelling is identified from July to September, with downwelling prevalent between March and May. Upwelling events in both regions are characterized by increasing SSC, accompanied by decreasing SST and SSH, while the opposite trends are observed during downwelling events. The peak of rainfall and river discharge in December is noted to potentially enhance SSC variability in the Karimata Strait compared to Labuan Island waters.

Effect of the Backboard on the Pyrolysis Front Morphology of Downward Flame Spread: A Simulation Study

In order to investigate the influence of the backboard on the morphology of the pyrolysis front, this study employed the fire dynamics simulator (FDS) to conduct simulation research, aiming to quantitatively analyze the reasons for the differences in the morphology of the pyrolysis front under two conditions: with and without the backboard. By comparing the surface temperature distribution, flow field, and air entrainment velocity at the bottom of the pyrolysis front made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) under different conditions, it was found that the presence of the backboard not only reduced the surface temperature of PMMA at the bottom of the pyrolysis front and the temperature difference between the edge and middle, but also changed the flow field at the edge and suppressed the horizontal air entrainment velocity at that position, especially for thinner PMMA. These factors ultimately result in a larger angle of the pyrolysis front during the burning stable stage under the condition with the backboard compared to the condition without the backboard. In addition, the trend of horizontal air entrainment velocity at the edge position under different conditions also provide data support for the qualitative observation and analysis of previous experiments phenomena.

Crossflow Instability on a Swept Fin–Cone with Variable Nose Bluntness in Mach 6 Flow

Experiments and computational analysis have been conducted to study instabilities in the boundary layer over a swept fin–cone geometry in hypersonic flow. Experiments were carried out at the United States Air Force Academy’s Mach 6 Ludwieg Tube. Infrared thermography was employed to assess the surface temperature distribution, particularly the thermal striations on the fin that indicated a crossflow-dominated transition. Increasing the unit Reynolds number increased heating and moved the crossflow-transition front closer to the fin leading edge. Stability analysis based on the linear parabolized stability equations identified unstable stationary crossflow modes across the range of tested unit Reynolds numbers, and the most amplified disturbances were found to have wavelengths of 2–4 mm. The experimentally observed thermal striations were analyzed and found to have initial wavelengths of 2–5 mm but eventually formed higher-amplitude structures with a wavelength of approximately 10 mm. Discrete roughness elements of different diameters and spacings were implemented near the fin leading edge. Boundary-layer transition onset was found to be delayed with a subsequent lowering of the fin surface heating, with discrete roughness elements having a wavelength of 13.33 mm.

A machine learning-driven approach to predicting thermo-elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication in journal bearings

Traditional methods of evaluating the performance of journal bearings, for example thermal-elastic-hydrodynamic- lubrication theory, are limited to simplified conditions that often fail to accurately model real-world components. Numerical models that include additional phenomena such as cavitation and fully coupled effects like deformation, temperature, pressure and viscosity can be more accurate but require a large amount of computational overhead, making analysis slower and more costly. To address this limitation, a novel machine learning-driven approach is developed to predict the 2D distribution of surface deformation, film thickness, temperature, and pressure across the bearing surface as a function of design variables such as load and speed. The training dataset, generated using a fully coupled Reynolds’ Equation solver implemented in OpenFOAM, contains a significantly extended range of conditions than in previous studies with approximately 39000000 points encompassing 4925 different test cases. Modelled bearing speeds range from 2000 to 10000rpm, while load values are varied between 1 and 30kN. Predicting surface deformation, film thickness, temperature and pressure across the bearing surface results in a mean absolute percentage error below 0.4% or better. The work also demonstrates that the trained models have a strong ability to generalise the prediction beyond the original training data range with only a 1% error at up to 200% of the highest trained speed. This work also demonstrates that machine learning-based processes are a practical alternative to physics-based numerical modelling, especially in cases where rapid performance evaluation is desired as real-time calculation is possible with significantly reduced computational cost. This has the potential to enable development of rapid design optimisation tools and real-time performance monitoring at high resolution and with low latency. Using consumer hardware, it is found that the neural network-based approach is faster than the existing numerical modelling technique by a factor of over 10000, enabling real-time predictions of lubrication systems.

Numerical simulation of an industrial radiant tube burner using OpenFOAM

This study presents a numerical investigation into the effects of physical models on the prediction accuracy of the wall temperature distribution in an industrial radiant tube burner. Utilizing a reacting flow solver based on OpenFOAM, we explored the effects of various physical models, including those for chemistry, combustion, heat transfer, and radiation properties. The choice of combustion model significantly influences prediction accuracy, playing a more dominant role than the chemistry mechanism. Moreover, the simulations captured a distinctive triple flame structure inside the burner, representing the coexistence of rich premixed, non-premixed, and lean premixed flame structures. Conditional scatter plots displayed the development of both premixed and non-premixed flame structures, converging on the fuel-lean side. Notably, accurate prediction of wall temperature distribution depends on the incorporation of a precise heat transfer model, coupled with a detailed radiation property model. Regarding the distribution of tube surface temperature in the main radiation zone (a distance from the burner nozzle greater than 1 m), the most accurate prediction exhibits a maximum deviation of less than 56 K and an average deviation of 24 K compared to experimental results. The simulation closely matched experimental data for exhaust concentration of NO within an error margin of 20 ppm. However, discrepancy was observed in the CO concentration, which was attributed to the simplified representations of fuel chemistry and composition, as well as the difficulties in accurately capturing the unsteady flame dynamics near the wall.

Heat-transfer characteristics of the two-phase-change process between a microencapsulated phase-change-material-slurry droplet and air: A numerical study

A concept is proposed for spray-heat exchangers with the aim of addressing the mismatch of heat supply-demand within and outside a water droplet. The concept involves using a microencapsulated phase-change-material (MPCM) slurry as the working medium, enabling two-phase-change heat transfer with air. The temperature of the water droplet rapidly decreases owing to continuous evaporation, leading to a rapid decrease in its heat-transfer capacity. The phase change of the MPCM particles not only provides sufficient heat for evaporation but also maintains a high surface temperature, thus sustaining effective evaporation. A numerical model was developed to theoretically investigate the effect of the MPCM phase change on external convection. The heat-mass transfer of a droplet with a radius of 0.25 mm composed of water and 20 vol% MPCM was simulated. The results indicate that the MPCM phase change effectively reduces the temperature decrease rate. However, when the overall surface temperature of the MPCM droplet exceeds that of water, the total heat-transfer coefficient is not necessarily higher. Further local analysis reveals that maintaining both an overall high surface temperature and a reasonable local temperature distribution is crucial to achieve a higher total heat-transfer coefficient. The MPCM phase change significantly influences the local surface-temperature distribution.

Enhancing Parabolic Trough Solar Collector Efficiency through Absorber Tube Rotation: A Computational Study

This work uses CFD simulations to examine how absorber tube rotation affects parabolic trough solar collector performance, including output temperature, thermal efficiency, and surface temperature distribution. Simulation results are closely matched to experimental data, with variances ranging from 0.54% to 4.63%. It examines how mass flow rates (0.01 kg/s, 0.015 kg/s, and 0.02 kg/s) and input temperatures (32°C to 38°C) affect system performance in stationary and rotational modes at 1 and 2 rpm. Tube rotation considerably improves thermal mixing in the heat transfer fluid (HTF), resulting in more equal temperature distribution and possibly improved heat transfer efficiency. Increased rotational speed causes complicated dynamics that slightly impair thermal efficiency due to centrifugal forces affecting fluid flow patterns. The study shows that thermal efficiency peaks in the morning, emphasizing the importance of climatic and operational factors on collector performance. DOI: https://doi.org/10.52783/pst.276

Exploring the body surface temperature of the lumbosacral region and relevant back-shu points in patients with lumbar disc herniation induced low back pain based on infrared thermography.

To observe the body surface temperature of the lumbosacral region and relevant back-shu points in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) induced low back pain utilizing infrared thermography, and to explore the functional attribute changes of acupoints under pathological conditions. A total of 50 patients with LDH induced low back pain were included as the observation group, and 45 healthy subjects were included as the control group. Using infrared thermography, the body surface temperature of the lumbosacral region and bilateral Sanjiaoshu (BL 22), Shenshu (BL 23), Qihaishu (BL 24), Dachangshu (BL 25), Guanyuanshu (BL 26), Xiaochangshu (BL 27), and Pangguangshu (BL 28) was measured in both groups. The temperature difference values between the bilateral lumbosacral regions and back-shu points of the two groups were calculated. Additionally, the body surface temperature of the affected and healthy sides of the lumbosacral region and relevant back-shu points was compared in the observation group. Compared with the control group, the body surface temperature of the lumbosacral region and the bilateral temperature difference values of the lumbosacral regions were increased in the observation group (P<0.001). The body surface temperature difference values of bilateral Shenshu (BL 23), Qihaishu (BL 24), Dachangshu (BL 25), Guanyuanshu (BL 26) and Xiaochangshu (BL 27) in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.001). In the observation group, the body surface temperature of the affected side of the lumbosacral region as well as Shenshu (BL 23) and Dachangshu (BL 25) was elevated compared with that of healthy side (P<0.001). The patients with LDH induced low back pain have imbalanced and asymmetrical distribution of body surface temperature in the lumbosacral region and related back-shu points, Shenshu (BL 23) and Dachangshu (BL 25) have the relative specificity.

Flow structure and cooling effect of seeping gas film in supersonic turbulent boundary layer

Seeping gas film cooling is an active cooling method that involves injecting a cooling gas film into the boundary layer through porous media. In this study, a sintered wire mesh porous material is used to generate the gas film through seepage flow. The flow of the gas film in the supersonic turbulent boundary layer is observed using nanometer particle plane laser scattering technology, while the temperature distribution of the porous wall surface is measured by infrared thermometry. It is observed that as the injection rate of the gas film exceeds 0.2 %, the supersonic turbulent boundary layer thickens significantly. The rate of thickness growth is promoted from 5.5 % to 17.1 % as the injection rate increases from 0.3 % to 0.8 %. Additionally, the injection of the gas film induces an oblique shock wave, and the shock angle increases with the enhancement of the injection rate, resulting in an uneven cooling effect along the injector length. The transient cooling efficiency of the seeping gas film under thermal non-equilibrium conditions is analyzed. The results indicate that the temperature amplitude on the porous wall surface decreases significantly when the injection rate is promoted from 0.2 % to 0.3 %. However, continuing to increase the coolant injection rate does not lead to a more significant improvement in cooling efficiency. When the injection rate reaches 0.5 %, the relative cooling efficiency reaches 50 %–60 %, which is much lower than the predicted values of the thin film theory.

Heat transfer measurements on a flat plate and cylinders at high velocity conditions: Comparison of calculation models with infrared thermography

In this study, various heat transfer measurement models using infrared (IR) thermography were applied to a flat plate and cylinders to examine the accuracy and suitability of the measurements in a transonic blow-down test facility recently developed at Korea Aerospace University. Experiments were performed under three inlet velocity conditions for the flat plate, and for the cylinders, two diameters, two turbulence intensity levels, and five inlet velocity conditions. The surface temperature distribution during the experiment was acquired using an IR camera, and the surface heat transfer coefficient (HTC) was calculated using four HTC calculation models based on the one-dimensional semi-infinite (1D SI) solid assumption: step change (STEP), Duhamel's superposition (DUH), 1D finite volumetric model (1D FVM), and linear regression model (LRM). The LRM showed minimum deviation with reference correlation for the flat plate heat transfer measurements, while STEP, DUH, and 1D FVM showed increased deviations at higher mainstream velocity conditions. The measurements by LRM at the cylinder stagnation location showed the most comparable value with the reference correlation, whereas STEP and FVM showed about 10% deviation from the reference. It is concluded that the LRM is the most suitable heat transfer calculation model for high velocity tests because the model excludes the ramping data during the transient tests, and it can also obtain the local adiabatic wall temperature experimentally.

Seasonal variations in chlorophyll–a and sea surface temperature in the exclusive economic zone of Sri Lanka

Oceanic phytoplankton plays a crucial role in regulating the biogeochemical cycle in marine ecosystems. Light harvesting pigments such as chlorophyll–a (chl–a) can be used to understand marine primary productivity, especially phytoplankton abundance. Sea surface temperature is closely linked with phytoplankton abundance and climatic changes. The objective of the current study is to determine spatial and temporal variations of chl–a and sea surface temperature and their co-variation, over 12 years using statistical methodologies and Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS) and Cloud Computing Approach. In this study, the available sea surface temperature and chl–a data acquired from a Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite sensor were proceeded through Google Earth Engine and Earth Science Data System. Data visualization was carried out using ArcMap™ software. Results show a weak negative linear relationship (−0.40, P < 0.05) between sea surface temperature and chl–a. Therefore, additional favorable environmental factors such as coastal upwelling, and nutrient discharge through river run-off can control the primary productivity of phytoplankton. We also illustrated spatial and temporal maps for chl–a and sea surface temperature distribution in the exclusive economic zone of Sri Lanka. Chlorophyll–a concentration is enhanced during the southwest monsoon, and the lowest concentration is observed during the first inter-monsoon period. Next, the highest sea surface temperature is recorded during the first inter-monsoon period, and the lowest sea surface temperature is observed during the northeast monsoon. Seasonal behavior of chl–a concentration and sea surface temperature are changed as chl–a (SWM) > chl–a (NEM) > chl–a (SIM) > chl–a (FIM) and SST (FIM) > SST (SIM) > SST (SWM) > SST (NEM), respectively. In addition, both trend lines for each variable show a positive gradient, which may be attributed to global warming. Finally, we observed the alteration of chl–a and sea surface temperature that linked to changes in ocean chemistry during the global COVID–19 pandemic.

Investigations on Hot Air Anti-Icing Characteristics with Internal Jet-Induced Swirling Flow

The tangential jet-induced swirling flow is a highly efficient technology for enhancing heat transfer. This paper explores the application of swirling flow of an airfoil/aero-engine in a hot air anti-icing chamber, aiming to improve the anti-icing performance and achieve a more uniform temperature on the surface. A series of numerical computations adopting the SST k − ω turbulent model was carried out to obtain the internal flow and heat transfer characteristics, as well as the surface temperature distributions, considering water evaporation and solid heat conduction. Three jet arrangements, including impingement jets, offset jets, and swirl jets, were studied and compared, which evidently showed that the swirling effect was helpful to elevate the internal heat transfer. Compared to the impingement jets at the Reynolds number of 40,000, the Nusselt number with the offset jets is increased by 19.5%, while the corresponding Nusselt number of the swirl jets is augmented by 44.3%. The swirling flow significantly elevates the swirl number within the internal chamber, intensifying the vortex strength near the wall and increasing the circumferential velocity, which also results in an augmentation of internal pressure loss. By adopting the swirling internal flow, the temperature distribution on the anti-icing surface is more uniform and is increased by up to about 4.1 K in the leading edge when the internal-to-external temperature difference is 80 K. Simultaneously, the heat absorption of water evaporation and the matches between the internal heat transfer and external icing load are of particular importance to determine the anti-icing performance, and this has been discussed in this paper.

Intra-Operative Infrared Thermography of Ocular Surface During Cryodestruction of Epibulbar Tumours

The paper presents the possibilities of intraoperative use of infrared (IR) thermography to image the temperature distribution of the outer ocular surface during cryodestruction of conjunctival tumours with localization in the ciliary body projection to determine an individual freezing regimen. IR thermography was carried out using a portable device for infrared real-time thermography. Thermal fields were visualized, and the duration of cooling and warming of the structures of the outer ocular surface around the area of freezing, including the cornea, were recorded. It was found that intraoperative IR thermography during cryodestruction of epibulbar tumours in the projection of the ciliary body allows real-time noninvasive imaging of the temperature fi eld dynamics around the freezing zone, which can be used to select individual cooling exposure to reduce the risk of complications by avoiding excessive cooling of intraocular structures. It was also determined that IR thermography makes it possible to assess the individual dynamics of rewarming of the ocular tissues to the initial level if a repeated cycle of tumour cryodestruction is necessary.

A bibliometric and performance evaluation of nano-PCM-integrated photovoltaic panels: Energy, exergy, environmental and sustainability perspectives

One of the major problems regarding PV panels is the decline in power output and efficiency whilst exposed to temperatures surpassing their operating temperature. In order to preclude such undesirable situation, it is imperative to cool PV panels and provide a uniform distribution of surface temperatures during the implementation of the cooling method. Thermal management can be achieved at the surface temperatures of PV panels by utilizing phase change materials (PCMs). In this study, along with PCM, the potential of enhancing output parameters by decreasing the surface temperature of PV panels with the addition of nanoparticles (Al2O3) at different concentrations (0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.15% w/v) to PCM (RT35) is examined. The study compared five systems: a reference PV panel (PV), PV panel cooled with PCM without nanoparticles (PVPCM-0), and PV panels with PCM containing different concentrations of nanoparticles (PVPCM-0.05, PVPCM-0.1, and PVPCM-0.15). Among the five different systems, the PV panel containing 0.15% w/v nanoparticles (referred to as PVPCM-0.15) demonstrated the most effective cooling capability. Moreover, the PVPCM-0.15 system provided the highest performance with a 19.49% increase in panel power output. PV systems have average energy and exergy efficiency values of 9.06% and 3.79% for PV panel, 9.60% and 5.15% for PVPCM-0, 9.70% and 5.12% for PVPCM-0.05, 10.28% and 6.01% for PVPCM-0.1, and 10.44% and 7.29% for PVPCM-0.15. Upon analyzing the sustainability metrics, it was determined that the PVPCM-0.15 system was more energy and environmentally sustainable than the others.

Nucleation of ice particles below the snow line

An increase in the total surface area of icy dust aggregates was numerically investigated. The temperature of icy dust aggregates in a protoplanetary disk changes through their vertical motion induced by turbulence. The ice becomes vapor if the maximum temperature exceeds the condensation temperature. The vapor molecules recondense when cooling proceeds. Depending on the cooling rate and the amount of the remaining aggregate, the vapor molecules form pure ice particles through homogeneous nucleation or recondense onto the remaining icy aggregates through heterogeneous nucleation. If homogeneous nucleation dominates, the total surface area substantially increases from the original value. The increase in the total surface area was determined for various ice species and vertical temperature distributions. H2O, NH3, and H2S ice particles can be formed through homogeneous nucleation. The total surface area is increased by a factor of up to 400. The increase in the total surface area can affect protoplanetary disk’s surface density and temperature distributions.

Numerical investigation of parameter distributions in high-temperature PEMFCs under various cooling surface temperature gradients

Non-uniform current density distribution can lead to localized hotspots, resulting in shortened lifespans of fuel cells. The temperature distributions on the bipolar plate cooling surface significantly influence various parameters within a fuel cell. This study develops a mathematical model for a high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) to simulate its operation in four different directions of temperature gradient on the cooling surface. The distributions of membrane temperature, proton conductivity, oxygen concentration, activation loss, and current density were obtained to clarify the interaction mechanism between cooling surface temperature and these parameters in fuel cell. The results show that the membrane temperature and proton conductivity increase and the oxygen concentrations decrease with increasing cooling surface temperature. A lower temperature in the catalyst layer regions leads to a decrease in the current density. In particular, when the cooling surface temperature distribution is characterized by a temperature decrease in the upstream area with a high reactant concentration and an increase in the downstream area with a low reactant concentration, the fuel cell has an excellent current density uniformity, which reaches 92.61 % at a voltage of 0.6 V and a cooling surface temperature difference of 10 K.

Experimental Research on an Embedded Heat Source Vapor Chamber for Aerospace Electronic Cooling

Abstract In this work, an embedded heat source vapor chamber (EHS-VC) is proposed for efficient and cost-effective heat dissipation in a limited space of aerospace electronics. The effect of the filling liquid mass and the layers of copper mesh under different working conditions on the heat transfer performance is systematically investigated. EHS-VCs are filled by deionized water with different filling liquid mass of 0.5 g, 0.75 g, 1.0 g, 1.25 g, and 1.5 g. The layer numbers of 250 in−1 copper mesh in EHS-VC are 3, 5, and 7. The results indicate that the optimized EHS-VC with a filling liquid mass of 1.0 g and 5 layers of copper mesh shows superior thermal performance among all tested working conditions. The surface temperature distribution of the optimized EHS-VC remains relatively stable and the surface temperature of the optimized EHS-VC increases linearly with heat load. The optimized EHS-VC can achieve a minimum thermal resistance of 0.19 ℃/W and a maximum critical power of 140 W. Compared with diamond/copper composite plate (D/C CP), EHS-VC shows great potential for efficient and cost-effective heat dissipation in a limited space of aerospace electronics, resulting in a 25% reduction in thermal resistance at the same heat load of 140 W.
