Conclusions • Mist cooling provides the means to effectively cool the Electra Hibachi within specified constraints on cooling system power consumption, foil max temperature, and temperature gradient • Heat transfer coefficient can be significantly increased especially for prototypical transient condition • A validated mechanistic model to predict the foils’ thermal response under prototypical conditions has been developed
Future Efforts • Examine effect of liquid film formation on e-beam transmission efficiency • Examine system performance for other gas/liquid combinations • Construct and test a multi-channel test module under prototypical conditions
