Thermal Performance of Cryogenic Micro-Pin Fin Coolers with Two-Phase Liquid Nitrogen Flows

This study experimentally explores the thermofluidic performance of a cryogenic micro-pin fin cooler with two-phase liquid nitrogen flows. The liquid nitrogen cooling system is introduced to investigate the performance of the micro-pin cooler in a cryogenic condition. The result reveals that the nom...
