Investigation of Micro Porosity Sintered wick in Vapor Chamber for Fan Less Design
Micro Porosity Sintered wick is made from metal injection molding processes,
which provides a wick density with micro scale. It can keep more than 53 %
working fluid inside the wick structure, and presents good pumping ability on
working fluid transmission by fine infiltrated effect. Capillary pumping
ability is the important factor in heat pipe design, and those general
applications on wick structure are manufactured with groove type or screen
type. Gravity affects capillary of these two types more than a sintered wick
structure does, and mass heat transfer through vaporized working fluid
determines the thermal performance of a vapor chamber. First of all, high
density of porous wick supports high transmission ability of working fluid. The
wick porosity is sintered in micro scale, which limits the bubble size while
working fluid vaporizing on vapor section. Maximum heat transfer capacity
increases dramatically as thermal resistance of wick decreases. This study on
permeability design of wick structure is 0.5 - 0.7, especially permeability (R)
= 0.5 can have the best performance, and its heat conductivity is 20 times to a
heat pipe with diameter (Phi) = 10mm. Test data of this vapor chamber shows
thermal performance increases over 33 %.Comment: Submitted on behalf of TIMA Editions

Quantum Oscillations in Magnetic Field Induced Antiferromagnetic Phase of Underdoped Cuprates : Application to Ortho-II YBa2Cu3O6.5
Magnetic field induced antiferromagnetic phase of the underdoped cuprates is
studied within the t-t'-J model. A magnetic field suppresses the pairing
amplitude, which in turn may induce antiferromagnetism. We apply our theory to
interpret the recently reported quantum oscillations in high magnetic field in
ortho-II YBa2Cu3O6.5 and propose that the total hole density abstracted from
the oscillation period is reduced by 50% due to the antiferromagnetism.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Dispersed Trading and the Prevention of Market Failure: The Case of the Copenhagen Stock Exchange
With augmented demands on power grids resulting in longer and larger blackouts combined with heightened concerns of terrorist attacks, trading institutions and policy makers have widened their search for systems that avoid market failure during these disturbing events. We provide insight into this issue by examining trading behavior at the Copenhagen Stock Exchange during a major blackout. We find that although market quality declined, markets remained functional and some price discovery occurred during the blackout period suggesting that the NOREX structure of interlinked trading systems combined with widely dispersed trading locations may be a viable means of protection against market failure during massive power disruptions or terrorist attacks.Power failure; Fragmented markets; Market failure;
