HyperVapotrons are two-phase water-cooled heat exchangers able to receive high heat fluxes (HHF) byemploying a cyclic phenomenon called the "Vapotron Effect". HyperVapotrons have been used routinelyin HHF nuclear fusion applications. A detailed experimental investigation on the effect giving rise to theability to sustain steady state heat fluxes in…

The thermal performance of high heat flux components in a fusion reactor could be enhanced significantly by the use of nanofluid coolants, suspensions of a liquid with low concentrations of solid nanoparticles. However, before they are considered viable for fusion, the long-term behaviour of nanofluids must be investigated. This paper reports an ex…
