Improving efficiency of electronic cooling systems is paramount in many industrial domains. This is why CEA is currently developing a new heat pipe technology, based on the integration of a porous network produced by additive manufacturing. This project is a collaborative work between two laboratories of CEA Grenoble, in which you will develop an experimental bench dedicated to multi-modal tomography using X-ray and neutron beams. The goal is to characterize vapor region formation in porous networks infiltrated by a fluid and in contact with a hot source. Such advanced characterization method will allow you to better understand the physical phenomena at play, and propose new porous designs so as to increase the thermal powder density that can be dissipated by the system. The postdoc will supervise all development regarding the test setup, lead experimental campaign(s) at beamlines such as those offered by the Institute Laue Langevin (or equivalent facilities abroad), and analyze the data.
