Local wall temperature mapping during flow boiling in a transparent microchannel


Local wall temperature mapping during flow boiling in a transparent microchannel is a scholarly work, published in 2019 in ''International Journal of Thermal Sciences''. The main subjects of the publication include heat transfer coefficient, boiling, Critical heat flux, materials science, hydraulic diameter, thermal hydraulics, Nucleate boiling, pressure drop, heat transfer, mass flow, thermodynamics, mechanics, Microchannel, thin film, and heat flux density. The work identifies that the heat transfer coefficient depends on the range of the heat flux and is correlated with vapour-liquid dynamics and liquid film thinning resulting in suspected dryout, observed simultaneously with the temperature measurements.
