ShareAnalysis of void fraction in microchannels.
Author(s) : NIÑO V. G., HRNJAK P. S., NEWELL T. A.
Summary
Void fraction characteristics are analysed for rectangular multi-port microchannels tubes for refrigerant charge predictions. A 6-port and a 14-port microchannel, with hydraulic diameters of 1.54 mm and 1.02 mm, are examined for two-phase flow conditions. A new void fraction measurement technique has been developed. Two refrigerants, R134a and R410A, are tested. Void fraction results reveal a dependence on mass flux and hydraulic diameter. Flow visualization analysis is performed in order to visualize the effect of mass flux dependence.
