Effect of gravitational orientation on flow boiling of water in 1054 x 197 micron parallel minichannels
Kandlikar, Satish; Balasubramanian, Prabhu (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004-06)Microchannels and minichannels are being considered for high heat flux applications under microgravity environment in space missions. Due to the small hydraulic diameter, the effect of gravitational forces on flow boiling ... -
Experimental study of flow patterns, pressure drop and flow instabilities in parallel rectangular minichannels
Balasubramanian, Prabhu; Kandlikar, Satish (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004-06)The use of phase change heat transfer in parallel minichannels and microchannels is one of the solutions proposed for cooling high heat flux systems. The increase in pressure drop in a two phase system is one of the problems, ... -
Experimental study of flow patterns, pressure drop, and flow instabilities in parallel rectangular minichannels
Balasubramanian, Prabhu; Kandlikar, Satish (Taylor & Francis, 2005)Flow boiling heat transfer in parallel minichannels and microchannels is one of the solutions proposed for cooling high heat flux systems. The associated increase in the pressure drop poses a problem that needs to be ... -
Extending the applicability of the flow boiling correlation to low Reynolds number flows in microchannels
Kandlikar, Satish; Balasubramanian, Prabhu (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2003-04)As microchannels are applied in flow boiling applications, it is becoming apparent that the Reynolds number based on all liquid flow could approach values below 100. The earlier work by Kandlikar and Steinke (2002, 2003) ... -
An Extension of the flow boiling correlation to transition, laminar and deep laminar flows in minichannels and microchannels
Kandlikar, Satish; Balasubramanian, Prabhu (Taylor & Francis, 2004)Flow boiling in mini- and microchannels offer very high heat transfer capabilities and find applications in many emerging technologies, such as electronics cooling and fuel cells. The low flow rate employed in such ... -
High speed photographic observation of flow patterns during flow boiling in single rectangular minichannel
Balasubramanian, Prabhu; Kandlikar, Satish (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2003-07)The present study extends the range of flow patterns observed during boiling of water in a single minichannel of height 197 mm and width 1054 mm. The calculated hydraulic diameter of the channel is 333 mm. High-speed ...
