Abstract: A pulse pump for the enhancement of thermal transport in a hydronic small-scale heat transfer system includes an inlet, a pulsing chamber, a plurality of apertures, a flow channel, an outlet and a pulsing pump. The pulsing chamber is in fluid communication with the inlet. The plurality of apertures is at a bottom of the pulsing chamber. The flow channel is sealed to the bottom of the pulsing chamber below the plurality of apertures. The flow channel is configured to house the hydronic small-scale heat transfer system. The outlet is in fluid communication with the flow channel. The pulsing pump is in communication with the pulsing chamber and is configured for intermittently forcing fluid in the pulsing chamber through the apertures at the bottom of the pulsing chamber thereby creating turbulence in the flow channel.

Abstract: A nanofluid is generally provided for use in a heat transfer system. The nanofluid can include nanoparticles suspended in a base liquid at a nanoparticle concentration in the nanofluid of about 0.01% to about 5% by volume. The nanoparticles can include zinc-oxide nanoparticles. The nanofluid for use in a heat transfer system can, in one embodiment, further include a surfactant. Thermal management systems configured to cool a computer having integrated circuits that generate heat during use are also provided. The thermal management system can include a zinc-oxide nanofluid circulated through a series of tubes via a pump such that heat produced by electronic components of the computer can be captured by the circulating nanofluid and then removed from the nanofluid by a radiator.

Abstract: An electric turbine installed between the air filter and carburetor of an internal combustion motorcycle engine for increasing intake air compression. The rotor is driven by an electric motor connected to the rotor by a belt driver. The electric motor power supply originates from electricity generated by the motorcycle alternator. The turbine rpm is regulated by the power supply voltage provided to the electric motor by a coil attachment to the motorcycle alternator.
