Falling Film in a Heated Micro-channel

Abstract

Abstract. The main objective of this work is to study experimentally and numerically a falling film in a micro-channel. The experimental section involves in creating a temperature gradient within the liquid, while monitoring the temperature using an infrared camera. A numerical model is established and solved by a semianalytical method called the thermal quadrupole method. Finally, we conclude with a comparison between the experiments and the numerical study.
