Abstract

Flow pattern and heat transfer of flow boiling for different flow orientation, mini-channel width and height were presented in this work. The data were obtained by the numerical simulation with the coolant of R141b flow in a vertical mini-channel. Orientation includes upward and downward. A constant heat flux was loaded at the wall of the channel, of which the width ranges from 1 mm to 3 mm, and a length changes from 200 mm to 400 mm. Subsequently the impact of those parameters that referred to heat flux, inlet temperature and inlet temperature of the coolant could be investigated by carrying out the numerical calculation. In addition, a validation for the model was illustrated in comparison with the previously experimental data.
