A composite VC heat sink containing a copper/diamond composite wick structure and a method for preparing the same are provided. The VC heat sink includes a lower shell plate. The lower shell plate is provided with a recess at a center position of an inner surface and provided with a boss with a same plane size as the recess at a center position of an outer surface, and a surface of the boss or a surface of the recess is provided with a copper/diamond composite plate. The copper/diamond composite wick structure has a three-dimensional porous structure and uses a copper/diamond sintered body as a matrix, a surface of the matrix is provided with a diamond layer, and a surface of the diamond layer is provided with a metal hydrophilic layer. The heat dissipation performance of the composite VC heat sink is maximized under the cooperation of structure and materials.

A microwavable thermodynamic element that can be used to reduce the cooling rate of an object that has been previously heated to a temperature greater than the ambient temperature of the object or for use in the reduction of the cooling rate of a heated liquid by immersion of the thermodynamic element into the liquid.

High performance ceramic (“HPC”) cooling tower fill plates with scalloped top and bottom edges and cross-hatched veins are used in combination with improved retainers in order to produce high performance, cooling tower fill bundles.

A radiative heatsink includes a cold plate, a radiator mounted to the cold plate and a thermal compound located between and coupling the heat source to the cold plate. The thermal compound converts a portion of a first phononic thermal energy from the heat source into a first photonic near-field and a first photonic far-field thermal radiation and transfers the first photonic near-field, the first photonic far-field and the remaining of the first phononic thermal energy to the cold plate. The cold plate combines the first photonic near-field, the first photonic far-field and the remaining first phononic thermal energy into a second phononic thermal energy and provides the second phononic thermal energy to the radiator. The radiator converts the second phononic thermal energy into a second photonic near-field and a second photonic far-field and emits the second photonic near-field or the second photonic far-field such that cold plate is regenerated.
