Abstract:A major detriment of two-phase microscale flow systems is a relatively high pressure drop, as well as the potential for flow instabilities. A possible mechanism to overcome these disadvantages is vapor extraction through a hydrophobic porous wall in the channel to reduce vapor content and suppress vapor expansion. The vapor extraction may occur either as evaporation, bubble extraction or a mix of both. For the design of vapor extraction systems, it is important to accurately predict extraction regimes, extract… Show more
