The effect of initial flow velocity on the liquid film thickness in micro tube accelerated slug flow

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of initial flow velocity on the liquid film thickness in accelerated flows under adiabatic condition is experimentally investigated, and an empirical correlation is proposed for the initial liquid-film thickness of accelerated flows that accounts for the acceleration.

Thermal Response of Multi-Microchannel Evaporators During Flow Boiling of Refrigerants Under Transient Heat Loads With Flow Visualization

TL;DR: In this article, an extensive experimental study was conducted to investigate the base temperature response of multi-microchannel evaporators under transient heat loads, including cold startups and periodic step variations in heat flux using two different test sections and two coolants (R236fa and R245fa).

Gas–liquid two-phase flow in microchannels Part I: two-phase flow patterns

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic experimental investigation of two-phase flow patterns in microchannels was the objective of this study, using air and water, experiments were conducted in circular micro channels with 1.1 and 1.45mm inner diameters, and in semi-triangular (triangular with one corner smoothed) cross-sections with hydraulic diameters 1.09 and 149mm.

A general expression for the correlation of rates of transfer and other phenomena

TL;DR: The expression Y = (1 + Zn)1/n where Y and Z are expressed in terms of the solutions for asymptotically large and small values of the independent variable is shown to be remarkably successful in correlating rates of transfer for processes which vary uniformly between these limiting cases as discussed by the authors.

The Growth of Vapor Bubbles in Superheated Liquids

TL;DR: In this article, a solution for the radius of the vapor bubble as a function of time is obtained which is valid for sufficiently large radius, since the radius at which it becomes valid is near the lower limit of experimental observation.
