The roughness is micro enough compared with the thickness of the liquid film. So, the surface roughness only exerts influence on the adsorptive potential. Macroscopically, the flow field of the liquid film can be considered as that when the rough surface has an equivalent smooth surface, whose position is at the crests of the microrelief. The mechanism of heat transfer is in connection with two resistances: the thermal resistance of the liquid film conduction and the thermal resistance of the interfacial evaporation. The capillary pressure between the two sides of the vapor-liquid interface due to the interfacial curvature and the disjoining pressure owing to the thin liquid film are considered simultaneously. Several micro tubes with different micro rough surfaces are studied. The length of the evaporating interfacial region decreases with the increase of roughness angle and/or the increase of the roughness height. The heat transfer coefficient and the temperature of the vapor-liquid interface will change to fit the constant mass flow rate.展开更多

Heat transfer or flow mode transition was observed when the heating rate or wall temperature was increased. This transition was found to be suggestively induced by the variation in liquid thermophysical properties due to the significant rise of liquid temperature in the microstructures. The influence of such parameters as liquid velocity, subcooling, property variation, and microchannel geometric configuration on the heat transfer behavior, cooling performance and the heat transfer and liquid flow mode transition were also investigated. The experiments indicated that both slngle-phase forced convection and flow boiling characteristics were quite different from those in normal-sized tubes and the heat transfer was obviously intensified.展开更多
