An approximate model for slug flow heat transfer in channels of arbitrary cross section
In this paper, a novel approximate solution to determine the Nusselt number for thermally developed, slug (low-prandtl), laminar, single phase flow in channels of arbitrary cross section is presented. Using the Saint-Venant principle in torsion of beams, it is shown that the thermally developed Nusselt number for low-prandtl flow is only a function of the geometrical parameters of the channel c...
متن کاملFlow condensation in parallel micro-channels – Part 2: Heat transfer results and correlation technique
This second part of a two-part study concerns heat transfer characteristics for FC-72 condensing along parallel, square micro-channels with a hydraulic diameter of 1 mm, which were formed in the top surface of a solid copper plate. Heat from the condensing flow was rejected to a counter flow of water through channels brazed to the underside of the copper plate. The FC-72 condensation heat trans...
متن کاملFlow condensation in parallel micro-channels – Part 1: Experimental results and assessment of pressure drop correlations
In this first part of a two-part study, experiments were performed to investigate condensation of FC-72 along parallel, square micro-channels with a hydraulic diameter of 1 mm and a length of 29.9 cm, which were formed in the top surface of a solid copper plate. The condensation was achieved by rejecting heat to a counter flow of water through channels brazed to the underside of the copper plat...
متن کاملTwo-Phase Flow and Heat Transfer in Rectangular Micro-Channels
Knowledge of flow pattern and flow pattern transitions is essential to the development of reliable predictive tools for pressure drop and heat transfer in two-phase micro-channel heat sinks. In the present study, experiments were conducted with adiabatic nitrogenwater two-phase flow in a rectangular micro-channel having a 0.40632.032 mm crosssection. Superficial velocities of nitrogen and water...
متن کاملFlow boiling heat transfer in two-phase micro-channel heat sinks––I. Experimental investigation and assessment of correlation methods
This paper is the first of a two-part study concerning measurement and prediction of saturated flow boiling heat transfer in a water-cooled micro-channel heat sink. In this paper, new experimental results are discussed which provide new physical insight into the unique nature of flow boiling in narrow rectangular micro-channels. The micro-channel heat sink contained 21 parallel channels having ...
