Two–phase flow of air–water mixture in a minichannel

Abstract

Two-phase systems have a huge potential for solving problems of removing large heat fluxes. To date, mini-channel and microchannel systems are widespread. Of particular interest are the stratified flow regime and the annular flow regime in mini- and micro- channel. It is necessary to know in detail the map of flow regimes for the realization of these flow regimes. In this paper, we present an investigation of flow regimes for a rectangular mini- channel 10 mm wide and 1.1 mm high.
