Flow boiling within microchannels has been explored intensively in the last decade due to their capability to remove high heat fluxes from microelectronic devices. However, the contribution of experiments to the understanding of the local features of the f ...
Experimental and numerical studies are performed to characterise the dynamics of isolated confined air bubbles in laminar fully developed liquid flows within channels of diameters d = 0.5 mm and d = 1 mm. Water and glycerol are used as the continuous liqui ...
This paper presents a fundamental study of the flow dynamics and heat transfer induced by a slug flow under saturated flow boiling in a circular microchannel. Numerical simulations are carried out by utilizing the commercial CFD solver ANSYS FLUENT v. 14.5 ...
A survey of the most recent work aimed at physically characterizing local heat transfer in flow boiling in microchannels is presented. This includes recent experimental work, new flow boiling prediction methods, and numerical simulations of microchannel sl ...
