The Heat transfer characteristics of water and ethanol flow boiling in micro-channel are studied. Flow boiling of different mass and heat flux is carried out in 61 parallel microchannel with hydro diameter of 0.293mm, and the local heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of is calculated. The results indicate that the HTC decreases with the increasing of vapor quality, and depends on heat flux. Two latest correlations are used to predict the experiment, and the results indicate that the Bond number plays an important role in the correlation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
