The one-dimensional transient numerical code of JJ Cooling Innovation has been significantly improved to simulate the thermal/hydraulic performance of pulsating heat pipes (PHPs). Using a mechanistic approach, the liquid slug and vapor plug flows and their ...
Heat transfer in nucleate boiling relies on the detachment and rise of the boiling bubble, in which gravity plays the dominant role. Previous studies showed that in the absence of gravity, the bubble fails to rise, causing the dryout of the heater and sign ...

Dynamics of nucleate boiling are strongly affected by the formation and behaviour of the microlayer, a layer of liquid underneath growing bubbles. As a result of its minute thickness, very high heat fluxes occur within the microlayer and its evaporation co ...

This paper presents a comprehensive and critical review of studies on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer, flow boiling heat transfer, critical heat flux (CHF), and two-phase flow phenomena with nanofluids. First, general analysis of the available studies ...

Transient pressure drop of individual channels during flow boiling of R134a in four 0.54 mm square parallel minichannels was experimentally studied in this work. The design of the test section enabled the experimenter to control and to vary heat flux indep ...
In the second part of this study a sensitivity analysis on the prediction methods is performed to consider the effect of plate geometry on thermal hydraulic performance and an extensive comparison of all the two-phase pressure drop and flow boiling heat tr ...

Plate heat exchangers are adopted in many domestic and industrial applications, such as ventilation, air conditioning, evaporation or condensation process, heat pumps and cooling of hydrodynamic circuits in engines. In the present thesis, an extensive expe ...
The Phase-1 upgrade of the LHC to full design luminosity, planned for 2019 at CERN, requires the modernisation of the experiments around the accelerator. The Inner Tracking System (ITS), the innermost detector at the ALICE experiment, will be upgraded by r ...
Boiling heat transfer in microchannels has been investigated extensively in the last two decades. However, most results from independent experimental studies display a substantial disagreement on the influence of the flow conditions and mechanisms on the h ...
At the interface with solids, the mobility of liquid molecules tends to be reduced compared with bulk, often resulting in increased local order due to interactions with the surface of the solid. At room temperature, liquids such as water and methanol can f ...
