A CFD study of the parameters influencing heat transfer in microchannel slug flow boiling

John Richard Thome, Mirco Magnini

Boiling heat transfer in microchannels has been investigated extensively in the last two decades. However, most results from independent experimental studies display a substantial disagreement on the influence of the flow conditions and mechanisms on the h ...

Experimental investigation on flow boiling pressure drop and heat transfer of R1233zd(E) in a multi-microchannel evaporator

John Richard Thome, Navid Borhani, Houxue Huang

An experimental study on flow boiling pressure drop and heat transfer of a new environmentally friendly refrigerant R1233zd(E), in a parallel multi-microchannel evaporator was carried out. The silicon microchannels evaporator was 10 mm long and 10 mm wide, ...

Decoupling of mass flux and turbulent wind fluctuations in drifting snow

Michael Lehning, Enrico Paterna, Philip Crivelli

The wind-driven redistribution of snow has a significant impact on the climate and mass balance of polar and mountainous regions. Locally, it shapes the snow surface, producing dunes and sastrugi. Sediment transport has been mainly represented as a functio ...

Experimental assessment of Owen's second hypothesis on surface shear stress induced by a fluid during sediment saltation

Michael Lehning, Benjamin Andreas Walter

A widely used, yet thus far unproven, fluid dynamical hypothesis originally presented by P. R. Owen 50years ago, states that the surface shear stress induced by a fluid on the ground during equilibrium sediment saltation is constant and independent of the ...

Two-Phase Flow Control of Electronics Cooling With Pseudo-CPUs in Parallel Flow Circuits: Dynamic Modeling and Experimental Evaluation

John Richard Thome, Jackson Braz Marcinichen, Nicolas Lamaison

On-chip two-phase cooling of parallel pseudo-CPUs integrated into a liquid pumped cooling cycle is modeled and experimentally verified versus a prototype test loop. The system's dynamic operation is studied since the heat dissipated by microprocessors is c ...

Microscale Adiabatic Gas-Liquid Annular Two-Phase Flow: Analytical Model Description, Void Fraction, and Pressure Gradient Predictions

John Richard Thome, Lorenzo Consolini, Andrea Cioncolini, Chin Lee Ong

The study is devoted to the modeling of microscale adiabatic gas-liquid annular two-phase flow. The turbulent diffusion of momentum in the annular liquid film is assumed to be governed by the conditions near the channel wall, in analogy with single-phase t ...

Constructal tree-shaped microchannel networks for maximizing the saturated critical heat flux

John Richard Thome, Rémi Revellin

A constructaltree-shaped microchannel network for maximizing the saturated critical heat flux in a disc-shaped planar body has been investigated. n(0) radial channels touch the center and n(p) channels touch the periphery. Designs with no pairing level (n( ...
