Abstract: In their paper (1), the authors state on p. 1245 that Boyd and Meng (2) in 1996 suggested an interpolation method for calculating the heat transfer characteristics in the partial boiling ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction of critical heat flux (CHF) in microchannels and minichannels is of great interest in estimating the safe operational limits of cooling systems employing flow boiling. Scale ...

Abstract: It gives me great pleasure in presenting this special issue of the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer with focus on microchannels. Although not new in the biological field, the real impetus of ...

Abstract: The interrelations among different nondimensional groups shown by M. M. Awad are quite correct. The insight provided by the author is very much appreciated.

Abstract: As the scale of devices becomes small, thermal control and heat dissipation from these devices can be effectively accomplished through the implementation of microchannel passages. The small ...

Abstract: Each fuel cell component of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) used in automotive application operates most effectively (from performance and durability standpoints) within specific ...

Abstract: Pool boiling is of interest in high heat flux applications because of its potential for removing large amount of heat resulting from the latent heat of evaporation and little pressure drop ...

Abstract: The effect of structured roughness on the heat transfer of water flowing through minichannels was experimentally investigated in this study. The test channels were formed by two 12.7 mm wide ...

Abstract: The present work is aimed toward understanding the effect of flow boiling stability on critical heat flux (CHF) with Refrigerant 123 (R-123) and water in microchannel passages. Experimental data ...

Abstract: A model is developed to analyze the effect of axial conduction on heat transfer during single-phase flow in microchannels. The axial heat conduction in the wall introduces heat flow toward the ...
