The Analysis of Two-Phase Flow Type in the Micro-Channel Flow Boiling

Abstract:

This paper describes the measurement of the parameters of the experiment, the problems in the analysis of experimental data processing and experimental error. The flow pattern and pressure drop of flow boiling, heat flux and heat transfer coefficient of relations are studied by analysis of the experimental data. The test section were isolated three flow patterns, bubble-like flow, limited bubble-like flow and evaporated to dryness district. Only isolated bubble-like flow of a stream type such as channel width = 2.0mm thin channel, volume flow greater than 15.47L/h. For channel width =1.0mm thin channel, bubbly flows is limited bubbly flow changes corresponding volume flow 10.8L/h.
