Local Flow Boiling Heat Transfer Coefficients in Narrow Conduits

Boiling in microchannels: a review of experiment and theory

“…In fact, they demonstrated that the Cooper (1984) correlation gave an approximate representation of their data (although it underpredicted their results by 20-50%). Using the same type of setup, Baird et al (2000) also reported local heat transfer data for R-123 in a 0.92-mm-diameter tube and CO 2 in the previous 1.95 mm tube, observing the same trends as before.

Flow Patterns and Heat Transfer for Flow Boiling in Small to Micro Diameter Tubes

“…For example, Kuwahara (2000) experimentally studied the flow boiling heat transfer characteristic and flow pattern inside 0.84 and 2.0 mm diameter tubes using R134a and found no difference in the heat transfer characteristic between the two tubes. Baird et al (2000) conducted boiling experiments on tubes of 0.92 and 1.95 mm diameter and found no significant effect of diameter on the heat transfer coefficient. Khodabandeh (2003) studied boiling in a two phase thermosyphon loop with iso-butene as a working fluid with tubes ranging from 1.1 to 6 mm in diameter.…”
