Résumé

Qualitative two-phase flow regime data are obtained from high-speed visualization of condensing flows of R-134a at mass fluxes from 75 to 150?kg?m-2?s-1 and quality from 0.1 to 0.8 in square microchannels (DH?=?0.84?mm) cooled from a single side. Superheated R-134a is distributed into multiple parallel microchannels and then partially condensed, using a counterflow water loop, to the desired quality prior to the inlet of a visualization section. This experimental arrangement mitigates the potential for flow maldistribution. Despite very small heat duties, a low uncertainty in the quality in the visualization section is maintained by enforcing a large temperature difference on the water-side (?T?>?10?K). For all conditions, annular or annular/wavy type flow were observed, with no distinct intermittent flow. Data are compared with flow macro and mini/microchannel maps, which are shown to over predict the occurrence of intermittent or wavy flow.
