Thermo-hydrodynamic investigation into the effects of minichannel configuration on the thermal performance of subcooled flow boiling

The current research focuses on the development of a numerical approach to forecast strongly subcooled flow boiling of FC-72 as the refrigerant in various vertical minichannel shapes for high-heat-flux cooling applications. The simulations are carried out using the Volume of Fluid method with the Le...
