  • Heat transfer during the piston-cylinder expansion of a gas

    Creator:
    Rodrigues, Matthew Jose
    Abstract:
    The expansion of a gas within a piston-cylinder arrangement is studied in order to obtain a better understanding of the heat transfer which occurs during this process. While the situation of heat transfer during the expansion of a gas has received considerable attention, the process is still not very well...

  • Characterization of flow boiling in a fractal–like branching microchannel network

    Creator:
    Edward, Lee M.
    Abstract:
    Based on experimental investigations the present study evaluates flow instability and void fraction in a fractal-like branching microchannel network with rectangular cross-section. The hydraulic diameter of the channels ranged from 308μm at the inlet to 143μm at the outlet. The flow network used is characterized by set branching ratios for...
