Abstract:

This paper discusses test results concerning flow boiling heat transfer in a minichannel 1.7 mm
in depth, 16 mm in width and 180 mm in length. The essential part of the experimental stand was
a vertically oriented rectangular minichannel, which was heated asymmetrically with a plate made
of Haynes-230 alloy. Distilled water was used as the cooling fluid. Changes in the temperature on the outer
side of the heated plate in the central, axially symmetric part of the channel were measured using infrared
thermography. Simultaneously, the other side of the heated plate in contact with the fluid was observed
through a glass pane to identify the two-phase flow patterns. The one-dimensional model used for the heat
transfer analysis took into account the heat flow direction, which was perpendicular to the direction of the
fluid flow in the minichannel. The study involved determining local values of the heat transfer coefficient
and generating boiling curves. The data for water were compared with the findings reported for the FC-72
fluid.
