Two-Phase Flow and Heat Transfer during Steam Condensation in a Converging Microchannel with Different Convergence Angles

The present study experimentally investigates the effect of convergence angle of microchannel on two-phase flow and heat transfer during steam condensation. Three condensation regimes, from the inlet to the outlet, are identified: mist/annular flow, injection flow, and slug-bubbly flow. Flow pattern...
