In this work, a laminated microstructure-plate electrically heated micro evaporator was proposed. The effects of microstructure types on the evaporation efficiency of electrically heated micro evaporator under different input voltage values and flow rates of water were investigated. It was indicated that the triangular microstructure plate presented the best evaporation efficiency regardless of the change of input voltage and feed flow rate. The nonuniform-distributed microchannel plate presented better evaporation performance than that of uniform-distributed microchannel plate, while the triangular microstructure plate presented higher evaporative performance than that of rectangular microstructure plate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
