Heat Transfer Mechanisms During Flow Boiling in Microchannels
The forces due to surface tension and momentum change during evaporation, in conjunction with the forces due to viscous shear and inertia, govern the two-phase flow patterns and the heat transfer characteristics during flow boiling in microchannels. These forces are analyzed in this paper, and two new nondimensional groups, K1 and K2 , relevant to flow boiling phenomenon are derived. These grou...
متن کاملElectroosmotic shear flow in microchannels.
We generate and study electroosmotic shear flow in microchannels. By chemically or electrically modifying the surface potential of the channel walls a shear flow component with controllable velocity gradient can be added to the electroosmotic flow caused by double layer effects at the channel walls. Chemical modification is obtained by treating the channel wall with a cationic polymer. In case ...
متن کاملBlood Flow in Simple Microchannels
Development of medical micro-assay systems must be based on an understanding of blood flow mechanics at scales of tens to hundreds of microns. This study investigated the use of a simple power law model for blood flow of between 2.5 and 100 μl/min in channels with 200 x 60 μm cross-sections and the following configurations: straight, 90 degree bend, and sudden contraction from 200 to 100μm. Exp...
متن کاملTime-periodic Electroosmotic Flow of Non-newtonian Fluids in Microchannels
The alternating current electroosmotic flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid is studied in a circular microchannel. A numerical method is employed to solve the non-linear Poisson-Boltzmann and the momentum equations. The main parameters which affect the flow field are the flow behavior index, the dimensionless zeta potential and the dimensionless frequency. At very low dimensionless frequenci...
متن کاملResistance to Flow in a V-Shaped Bottom Channel
Water flow in open channels is always subject to the resistance to flow and energy dissipation. For design purposes, one of the needed variables is the hydraulic resistance coefficient. For this mean, the influence of cross-sectional shape together with secondary flow cells and lateral distribution of true boundary shear stress have not yet been fully explored. This paper surveys the number of ...
