  • A unified model of one-dimension two-fluid horizontal flows and its stability analysis

    Creator:
    Kim, Dong-Wan
    Abstract:
    An improved version of the one-dimensional horizontal two-fluid flow model has been developed by incorporating physical terms for gravity and local void fraction profiles. Introduction of an interface mixing layer concept allows the one-dimensional two-fluid model to remain hyperbolic. This will overcomes a major obstacle in using the current one-dimensional...

  • Phase distribution parameter determination by neutron radiography

    Creator:
    Skinner, Jesse B.
    Abstract:
    A phase distribution parameter has been added to the one-dimensional two-phase horizontal flow conservation equations. The phase distribution parameter was incorporated into the conservation equations in an attempt to add stability and remove correlation switching by incorporating gravity. Determination of the phase distribution parameter requires an average void fraction profile...

  • Microscale thermal management utilizing vapor extraction from a fractal-like branching heat sink

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    It is hypothesized that increases in pressure drop due to vapor generation during boiling in microchannels can be reduced by extraction of vapor at its point of inception. Ultimately, this local vapor extraction decreases the pressure drop required to drive the flow through a fractal-like branching, microchannel flow network within...

  • Microscale thermal management using membrane vapor extraction

    Creator:
    Apreotesi, Mario A.
    Abstract:
    With the miniaturization of microelectronics and increase of processor speeds in the last few decades, thermal management is drastically affecting overall packaging and system capabilities. Due to the special needs introduced, research focusing on microscale cooling has increased. This study combines the positive characteristics of single- and two-phase flows in...

  • On the effects of centrifugal forces in air-water two-phase flow regime transitions of an adiabatic helical geometry

    Creator:
    Young, Eric P.
    Abstract:
    Two-phase flow in helical conduits is important in many industries where reaction between components, heat transfer, and mass transport are utilized as processes. The helical design is chosen for the effects of secondary flow patterns that reduce axial dispersion, increased heat transfer, and also their compact design. The first is...
