Boiling of Various Liquids in a Microchannel

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A study of heat emission during the boiling of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol in a microchannel with a size of 12.5 × 3× 0.2 mm3 has been carried out. To calculate heat emission during boiling in the microchannel, the Kutateladze equation for a flat slot with one-sided heating was used, as well as the Kutepov–Sterman dependences for nucleate boiling under conditions of directional fluid motion and the Danilova dependence for calculating heat emission during boiling. It is established that the Kutepov–Sterman equation yields the minimum deviation from experimental data (no more than 25%).
