A numerical investigation of heat transfer and pressure drop in a novel cylindrical heat sink with helical minichannels
This study numerically investigated heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a novel cylindrical heat sink with helical minichannels for the laminar flow of fluid with temperature-dependent properties. A finite volume method was employed to obtain the solution of governing equations. The effects of helical angle, channel aspect ratio, and Reynolds number, which were regarded as main para...
متن کاملTwo-phase Flow Patterns, Pressure Drop and Heat Transfer during Boiling in Minichannel and Microchannel Flow Passages of Compact Evaporators
The small hydraulic diameters employed during flow boiling in compact evaporator passages are becoming more important as they are employed in diverse applications including electronics cooling and fuel cell evaporators. The high pressure drop characteristics of these passages are particularly important as they alter the flow and heat transfer, especially in parallel multi-channel configuration....
متن کاملPressure Drop of Two-Phase Flow Through Horizontal Channel with Smooth Expansion
Industrial systems at where gas-liquid flow is extensively used generally have complex geometries including singularities like expansion, contraction, bends and orifices. Thus two-phase flow characteristics, such as pressure drop, through these singularities should be identified in order to be used to design these systems. In this study, pressure drop of air-water flow through horizontal channe...
متن کاملTwo-Phase Flow Patterns, Pressure Drop, and Heat Transfer during Boiling in Minichannel Flow Passages of Compact Evaporators
The small hydraulic diameters employed during ow boiling in compact evaporator passages are becoming more important in diverse applications including electronics cooling and fuel cell evaporators. The high pressure drop characteristics of these passages are particularly important as they alter the ow and heat transfer, especially in parallel multichannel congurations. The pressure drop osc...
متن کاملTwo Phase Flow Pressure Drop Calculation Using Homogeneous Equilibrium Model
Although two-phase flow is frequently encountered in various location of the process plants, there is no a general accepted and verified two-phase flow model that may be used to size lines for such conditions. An obvious example is condensate water return lines. The API method that used in this study is based on the homogeneous equilibrium flow assumption, that is, equal velocity and equal temp...
