... boiling instability were systematically investigated to assess the flow boiling performances. Thin liquid film was observed in the triangular grooves during the dry-out process, compared to the dry-out in plain-wall microchannels. The oscillations of wall temperature, inlet temperature, and pressure drop...

... in macrochannels overestimate the experimental data in microchannels. 02 03 2008 03 08 2008 04 03 2009 Qu and Mudawar ( 9 ) identified two types of flow-boiling instabilities: upstream compressible volume instability and flow interaction instability. Wang et al. ( 14 ) found...

... different inlet temperatures and various flow rates are correlated for different heat fluxes. This work additionally presents a first glimpse of the cross-linked heat sink performance under flow boiling instability conditions. 18 07 2006 13 04 2007 Microchannel heat sink package...
