DESCRIPTION:ME-EM Graduate Seminar Speaker Series\n\nproudly presents:\n\nD
 r. David Pratt\nWright-Patterson Air Force Base\n\nAbstract: Devices capabl
 e of dissipating high intensity heat energy which can meet vehicle requirem
 ents are required for numerous terrestrial and space applications. Of the h
 eat transport devices under consideration in the regime of interest\, most 
 utilize the latent heat of vaporization via liquid-vapor phase change. Rele
 vant to the research presented are passive capillary driven phase change de
 vices or capillary driven heat transport devices (CPHTD). CPHTD is a family
  of device to include heat pipes\, thermosyphons\, capillary pumped loops a
 nd looped heat pipes. The presentation will focus on the history of their d
 iscovery and then primarily on the work performed within the Aerospace Vehi
 cles Division of the Air Force Research Laboratory.\n\nBio: Dr David M Prat
 t has spent the last five years as a Principle Aerospace Engineer in the Ai
 r Force Research Labor. For thirteen year prior\, he was the Senior Technic
 al Advisor for the Structures Division of the Air Vehicles Directorate\, Ai
 r Force Research Laboratory. He was primary responsibility and technical au
 thority for all research and development efforts in structures\, system-lev
 el thermal management\, and multidisciplinary design methods for the Air Fo
 rce Research Laboratory. In addition\, David has made substantial contribut
 ions in the area of energy and mass transport\, integrated vehicle health m
 anagement\, energy based design\, among numerous other areas. Dr Pratt is a
  Fellow of both American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aero
 nautics Society. He is the recipient of t General Benjamin Foulois Award fo
 r Excellence in Research\, the highest award presented by United States Air
  Force\, Air Vehicles Directorate. Dr Pratt has publish over 100 publicatio
 ns in total with 2 handbook chapters\, 28 refereed journal articles\, 37 re
 fereed conference papers\, 21 invited papers or presentations\, 4 invited l
 ectures and numerous other presentations.
