A new method for reducing local heat transfer data in multimicrochannel evaporators

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani, Nicolas Lamaison, Houxue Huang

Measuring the strong local variation in heat transfer coefficients in multi-microchannel evaporators is related to the inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP). As the local flow heat transfer coefficients change greatly in magnitude from single-phase liquid ...
