Abstract

The functionality of surfaces, especially for thermodynamic applications, can be enhanced by help of a specific surface modification. Therefore this study investigates different selected surface structures and their influence on the heat transfer capability. Specific micro geometries are in focus of this research. A systematic design and a determination of appropriate thermodynamic micro structures by the help of FEM multiphysics simulations were executed. Afterwards the investigated structures were fabricated applying electrochemical and laser beam machining. Furthermore a systematic analysis of the exactness and the surface quality was carried out, which underlines the potential of these procedures for micro structuring of surfaces for thermodynamic applications.
