Abstract: An analytical model is proposed to predict the flow boiling heat transfer coefficient in the annular flow regime in mini- and microchannel heat sinks based on the separated model. The modeling ...

Abstract: The performance of a louver cooling scheme on a transonic airfoil has been studied numerically in this paper. Film cooling holes are located near the passage throat. The Mach number at the ...

Abstract: Flows in uniform, parallel, and series microchannels have been investigated using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. For the uniform microchannel cases, at higher pressure ratio, ...

Abstract: A theoretical investigation has been conducted for the prediction of the critical height at the onset of gas entrainment during single discharge from a stratified, two-phase region through a ...

Abstract: Flow boiling oscillation characteristics in two silicon microchannel heat sink configurations are presented. One is a standard heat sink with 45 straight parallel channels, whereas the second is ...

Abstract: The present investigation is focused on the onset phenomena from a stratified two-phase region through a single branch located on a semi-circular wall, resembling a circular reservoir of a CANDU ...

Abstract: The viscous micropump consists of a cylinder placed eccentrically inside a microchannel, where the rotor axis is perpendicular to the channel axis. When the cylinder rotates, a net force is ...
