Experimental Study on Heat Transfer Characteristics of Water and Ethanol Flow Boiling in Micro-Channel

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
