A CFD study of the parameters influencing heat transfer in microchannel slug flow boiling

John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini

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 ...

On the Effects of Coating Thickness in Transient Heat Transfer Experiments Using Thermochromic Liquid Crystals

Peter Ott, Alexandros Terzis, Sebastian Schulz

Transient heat transfer experiments typically employ thermochromic liquid crystals to temporally map surface temperatures. The desired heat transfer coefficient is then calculated from the solution of Fourier’s 1D transient heat conduction equation which i ...
