The study considers algebraic turbulence modeling in adiabatic and evaporating annular two-phase flow, focusing in particular on momentum and heat transfer (so-called 'convective boiling') through the annular liquid film. In contrast with single-phase wall ...
The complexity of two-phase flow boiling on a tube bundle presents many challenges to the understanding of the physical phenomena taking place. It is important to quantify these numerous heat flow mechanisms in order to better describe the performance of t ...
The conversion to more environmentally friendly refrigerants is of prime importance for refrigeration and air-conditioning industries. A first option for the substitution of the fluids which use was banned could be natural refrigerants, such as CO2, or HFC ...
This article presents an experimental study of upward flow boiling heat transfer in multiport tubes. Usually, multiport tubes are utilized horizontally in automotive and air-conditioning systems while here there is interest in vertical flow as part of a tw ...
Edge Localised Mode (ELM)-induced heat loads, in particular divertor heat loads present one of the main challenges in adopting nuclear fusion as an industrial-scale energy source. At present, the type-I ELMy plasma regime is chosen as the most suitable ope ...
In this work flow visualizations and measurements are made and analyzed to identify flow regime transitions, slug-to-intermittent, intermittent-to-annular and the dry-out inception, during the flow boiling of CO2 in a horizontal smooth tube of 6.00 mm of i ...
This study is devoted to complex experimental investigation of two-phase flow boiling of R134a refrigerant in a minichannel having a hydraulic diameter of 540 μm at heat fluxes up to 70 kW/m2 and mass fluxes up to 700 kg/(m2 s). Flow regimes, pressure drop ...
This work examines the flow boiling of R134a in 0.54-mm square parallel minichannels with a particular focus on analyzing the transient pressure drop of individual channels in a wide range of heat andmass flux conditions. The flow rates are in the range fr ...
This paper focuses on two-phase flow boiling of refrigerant R134a inside a copper multi-microchannel heat sink for microelectronic central processing unit cooling applications. The heat sink is composed of 100 parallel microchannels, 100 mu m wide, 680 mu ...
This part of the paper presents the current experimental flow boiling heat transfer and CHF data acquired for R134a, R236fa and R245fa in single, horizontal channels of 1.03, 2.20 and 3.04 mm diameters over a range of experimental conditions. The aim of th ...
