Abstract: In a special boiling cell, vapor bubbles are generated at single nucleation sites on top of a 20μm thick stainless steel heating foil. An infrared camera captures the rear side of the heating ...

Abstract: The heat transfer to water-based suspensions of microencapsulated phase change material (MEPCM) flowing laminarly through rectangular copper minichannels was investigated both experimentally and ...

Abstract: Surfaces with topography promote rivulet flow patterns, which are characterized by a high cumulative length of contact lines. This property is very advantageous for evaporators and cooling devices, ...

Abstract: We are indeed delighted in bringing out this special issue highlighting some of the papers presented at the ASME Eighth International Conference on Nanochannels, Microchannels, and Minichannels, ...

Abstract: Falling liquid films are used in many industrial apparatuses. In many cases the film flow along a wall with topography is considered advantageous for intensification of the heat and mass ...

Abstract: The pressure drop and the convective heat transfer characteristics of ethanol and water in a circular tube with a diameter of 600 μm with and without phase change have been studied experimentally. ...
