Two-Phase Heat Transfer Mechanisms within Plate Heat Exchangers

Raffaele Luca Amalfi

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 ...

EPFL2016

In the second article of the present two-part paper, upward single-phase heat transfer within a compact plate heat exchanger was investigated experimentally. The experimental setup, the data reduction technique and pressure drop results were presented in P ...

Intermittent dewetting and dryout of annular flows

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani

Flow visualisation of saturated flow boiling of refrigerant R245fa in a silicon parallel multi-microchannel evaporator, at low mass flux and moderate uniform heat flux, has been carried out with a high-speed digital camera. Using the time-strip technique t ...

Saturated flow boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux in small horizontal flattened tubes

John Richard Thome, Cristiano Bigonha Tibiriça

This paper presents experimental results for flow boiling heat transfer coefficient and critical heat flux (CHF) in small flattened tubes. The tested flattened tubes have the same equivalent internal diameter of 2.2 mm, but different aspect height/width ra ...
