Abstract
An apparatus for flow control of a fluid in a two-phase thermal management system including an evaporator connected in series following a cavitating venturi. The vapor pressure of a vaporous cavitation bubble formed in the venturi upon passage of a fluid therethrough is regulated to the pressure of the wet vapor exhaust from the evaporator by joining the wet vapor exhaust of the evaporator to the cavitation bubble of the venturi.
