A Thermal–Hydraulic Comparison of Liquid Microchannel and Impinging Liquid Jet Array Heat Sinks for High-Power Electronics Cooling

TL;DR: In this article, two single-phase liquid cooling strategies for electronics thermal management are compared and contrasted; impinging jet arrays and laminar flow in microchannels, for a situation in which an electronic device must dissipate 250 W/cm2 while being maintained at a temperature of 85degC.

Hybrid Cooling Method of Axial-Flux Permanent-Magnet Machines for Vehicle Applications

TL;DR: This paper provides experimental verification of the simulation results on a 100-kW AFPM electrical machine and proposes a hybrid cooling arrangement that consists of a frame cooling circuit with a water flow inside, a set of copper bars inserted in the teeth, and a segment of potting material around the end windings.
