  • Stability improvement of the one-dimensional two-fluid model for horizontal two-phase flow with model unification

    Creator:
    Abel, Kent C.
    Abstract:
    The next generation of nuclear safety analysis computer codes will require detailed modeling of two-phase fluid flow. The most complete and fundamental model used for these calculations is known as the two-fluid model. It is the most accurate of the two-phase models since it considers each phase independently and links...

  • Modeling convective boiling flow with in-situ local vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Salakij, Saran
    Abstract:
    The pressure drop of convective boiling flow may be reduced by extracting vapor locally since the entire generated vapor does not have to travel through the entire channel length. In this study, the theoretical model was developed to simulate a convective boiling flow through a fractal-like branching microchannel network with...

  • Numerical study of flow maldistribution in microchannels using fully resolved simulation

    Creator:
    Martin, Mathieu Georges Charles
    Abstract:
    This thesis addresses numerical simulation of flow maldistribution in microchannels. Microchannels are often associated with two phase-flows which can generate many problems such as plugging the channel or perturbing the flow. In this study we have used CFD and fully resolved technique to simulate what would happen in the case...

  • Passive pumping in pool and open channel configurations via meso-scale asymmetric surface patterning

    Creator:
    Strid, Logan
    Abstract:
    The research presented in this thesis is a continuation of collaboration between Oregon State University and Auburn University studying the feasibility of passively pumping liquid during boiling in a preferential direction using meso-scaled asymmetric surface patterns. Such a passive phase-change mechanism has great potential for thermal management in spacecraft and...

  • Modeling in-situ vapor extraction during flow boiling in microscale channel

    Creator:
    Salakij, Saran
    Abstract:
    In-situ vapor extraction is performed by applying a pressure differential across a hydrophobic porous membrane that forms a wall of the channel as a means of reducing the local quality of flow boiling within the channel. As the local quality is reduced, the heat transfer capability can be improve while...
