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...

Experimental study of two-phase gas-liquid flow in a microscale fractal-like branching flow network

Creator:

Kwak, Younghoon

Abstract:

Two-phase gas-liquid flows in microscale fractal-like branching channel flow networks were experimentally studied to assess the validity of existing void fraction correlations and flow regimes based on superficial gas and liquid velocities. Void fractions were assessed using two different methods. First, void fraction data were acquired using a High-Speed-High-Resolution (HSHR)...

Development of a microchannel device for adsorption cooling application

Creator:

Asumpinpong, Kasidid

Abstract:

Single-layer and three-layer microchannel adsorption devices were fabricated by procedure that was newly developed. Aluminum was chosen for metal housing while the adsorption pair was silica gel and water. Each adsorption layer contained two layers of 250 μm-thick silica gel. Both silica gel layers opened to the same layer of...
