Abstract: With advances in micromachinery, the acceptance of disaggregation of sensors, and easy-to-use microcontroller platforms on satellites, the size of mission structures are getting dramatically smaller and faster, this results in greater localized heat generation, requiring more reliable thermal management systems. The emergence of advanced additive manufacturing (AM), such as selective laser sintering (SLS) and engineering materials, such as low-melting eutectic liquid metal (LM) alloys and synthetics ceramics offer new opportunities for thermal cooling systems. Therefore, there has been an opportunity for adapting in-situ AM to overcome limitations of traditional manufacturing in thermal application, where improvements can be achieved through reducing thermal contract resistance of multi-layer interfaces. In this regard, this work investigates adapting in-situ AM technologies to embed prefabricated components, such as ceramic tubes, inside of metals without parting surface, resulting in more intimate contact between the metal and ceramic. A focus was placed on using more ubiquitous powder bed AM technologies, where it was determined that the morphology of the prefabricated LM compatible ceramic tubes had to be optimized to prevent collision with the apparatus of powder bed based AM. Furthermore, to enhance the wettability of the ceramic tubes during laser fusion, the surfaces were electroplated, resulting in a 1.72X improvement in heat transfer compared to cold plates packaged by conventional assembly. Additionally, multiple AM technologies synergistically complement with cross platform tools such as magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) to solve the corrosion problem in the use of low melting eutectic alloy in geometrically complex patterns as an active cooling system with no moving parts. The MHD pumping system was designed using FEA and CFD simulations to approximate Maxwell and Navier-Stokes equations, were then validated using experiments with model heat exchanger to determine the tradeoff in performance with conventional pumping systems. The MHD cooling prototype was shown to reach volumetric flow rates of up to 650 mm3/sec and generated flow pressure due to Lorentz forces of up to 230 Pa, resulting in heat transfer improvement relative to passive prototype of 1.054.

Abstract: Curvature in biological membranes defines the morphology of cells and organelles and serves key roles in maintaining a variety of cellular functions, enabling trafficking, recruiting and localizing shape-responsive proteins. For example, the bacterial protein SpoVM is a small amphipathic alpha-helical protein that localizes to the outer surface of a forespore, the only convex surface in the mother bacteria. Understanding several of these membrane curvature dependent events rely on a thorough understanding of the properties, energetics, and interactions of the constituent lipid molecules in presence of curvatures.  

In this dissertation, we have used molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to explore how the curvature of the lipid bilayer (LBL), a simplified mimic of the cell membrane, affects the packing fraction and diffusivity of lipid molecules in the LBL, energetics of lipid flip flop in the LBL, and lipid desorption from the LBLs. We have also investigated the interaction between LBLs and a small bacterial protein, SpoVM, which was previously shown to preferentially embed in positively curved membranes. Our work started with simulating convex surface, represented by the nanoparticle supported lipid bilayers (NPSLBLs) in MD. We first quantified the self-assembly, structure, and properties of a NPSLBL with a diameter of 20 nm and showed how the type of the nanoparticle (NP) affects the properties of the NPSLBLs. Second, we studied the energetics of lipid flip flop and desorption from LBLs for the cases of planar substrate supported lipid bilayer (PSSLBL) and NPSLBL. Finally, we investigated the energetics of SpoVM desorption from the PSSLBL and the NPSLBL providing clues to the fundamental driving forces dictating the curvature sensing of SpoVM.
