The Role Of Computer Simulation In The Context Of Zero-Emission Power Plants, Jim Mcgovern

Other resources

The role of computer simulation in the context of zero-emission power plants is outlined. The use of computer simulation models to simulate zero-emission power plants in fine detail is strongly recommended.


Two-Phase Flow In Microchannels, Roger Scott Stanley Jan 1997

Two-Phase Flow In Microchannels, Roger Scott Stanley

Doctoral Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate fluid mechanic and heat transfer characteristics of two-phase two-component flow in rectangular microchannels. Experiments were conducted using rectangular aluminum channels with hydraulic diameters ranging between 56 $\mu$m and 256 $\mu$m and aspect ratios which varied from 0.5 to 1.5. Both single- and two-phase tests were conducted using water and gaseous argon, helium, and nitrogen as the working fluids. The Reynolds number for both types of experiments ranged from approximately 50 to nearly 10,000. The Nusselt number ranged between 0.0002 and 70. The single- and two-phase experimental data were empirically correlated, using parameters …
