Abstract
The modeling of transfer processes is a step in the generalization and interpretation of experimental data on heat transfer. The developed two-dimensional model is based on a homogeneous mixture model for boiling water flow in a microchannel with a new evaporation submodel. The outcome of the simulation is the distribution of velocity, void fraction and temperature profiles in the microchannel. The predicted temperature profile is consistent with the experimental literature data.
Highlights
We used experimental data reported by Díaz and Schmidt [25] for validating the developed 2D model of the transfer processes in the microchannel during the flow of a boiling fluid
A two-dimensional model of the transfer processes was developed for boiling water in a microchannel
The model is based on a homogeneous mixture model with a new evaporation submodel
