Abstract: The onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) serves as the thermalhydraulic operating limit for many research and test reactors. However, boiling incipience under forced convection has not been wellcharacterized in narrow channel ...

Abstract: Experimental results are presented for singlephase heat transfer in a narrow rectangular minichannel heated on one side. The aspect ratio and gap thickness of the test channel were 29:1 and 1.96 mm, respectively. Friction ...
