TL;DR: In this article, a framework for the transient analysis and active control of pressure-drop flow instabilities under varying imposed heat loads is presented, where the external effects on boiling flow characteristics and the boiling oscillatory flow responses to transient heat load changes are studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, a steady-state modeling and optimization of a refrigeration system for high heat flux removal, such as electronics cooling, is studied, which consists of multiple evaporators, liquid accumulator, compressor, condenser and expansion valves.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a first-principle lumped-parameter dynamic model and experimental validation of vapor compression cycles for electronics cooling, which couples the dynamics of the heat exchangers with static empirical models for compressor and expansion valve.

TL;DR: Comparison between open-loop and closed-loop experiments for the same operating conditions shows that a 80 °C rise in the wall temperature is avoided with the gain-scheduling controller.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of a refrigeration cycle consisting of multiple evaporators, liquid accumulator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve is analyzed, and local system stability is analyzed using a linearized model at some operating condition and an experimental testbed is developed to validate the model.
