In recent years considerable attention has been paid to the study of microscale flow and
heat transfer with phase change and chemical reactions. This article reviews the patterns of …

The inception of the boiling, in a pool or flow boiling, is the formation of the vapor bubble at
an active nucleation site that plays a crucial role in the boiling process and it becomes …

In the present study, the bubble growth, departure and the following flow pattern evolution
during flow boiling in the mini-tube were visualized and quantitatively investigated, along …

The lunar surface is a typical vacuum environment, and its harsh heat rejection conditions
bring great challenges to the thermal control technology of the exploration mission. In …

The present work reports on flow boiling visualization of refrigerant R-134a in a vertical
circular channel with an internal diameter of 1.33 mm and 235 mm in heated length. A quartz …

Heat-sinks based on flow boiling in microchannels have the potential to mitigate
temperature rise in high heat flux devices such as electronic equipment. One of the major …

This paper presents the visualization results obtained for an experimental study of R134a
during flow boiling in a horizontal microchannel. The microchannel used was a fused silica …

Phase change phenomena of a fluid flowing in a micro channel may be exploited to make
the heat exchangers more compact and energy efficient. Compact heat exchangers offer …

Two types of single vapour bubble growth in micro-scale space are experimentally
investigated. Degassed pentane and FC-72 are used to study the bubble confined between …

The current study is a part of a long term experimental project devoted to investigate flow
boiling heat transfer, pressure drop and flow visualization of R134a in small to mini/micro …
