The characteristics of the free surface in an orifice driven by a periodic forcing function have been studied both theoretically and experimentally. In the theoretical study, two wall boundary condition cases were examined: 1) the radial velocity at the wall of the orifice is zero; and 2) the axial velocity...
A one-dimensional numerical model has been developed to study diabatic and adiabatic
flow boiling in microchannels. This model accounts for developing flow effects and
variable property effects. The model uses correlations for void fraction and two-phase
multipliers found in the literature. The model has been used to study the performance...
