Plasma-facing components for fusion reactors and other high heat flux heat sinks are usually subjected to a peripherally non-uniform heat flux. The configuration under study is related to these applications and consists of a single-side heated monoblock cross-section test section with a circular coolant channel bored through the center. The monoblock test section has a heated length of 180.0 mm and has 10.0 mm and 30.0 mm inside diameter and outside square sides, respectively. It was subjected to a constant heat flux on one side only, and the remaining portion of the outside surfaces is not exposed to a heat flux. The inlet channel water temperature was held near at 26.0°C, the exit pressure was maintained at 0.207 MPa, and the mass velocity was 0.59 Mg/m2s. The results consist of three-dimensional monoblock test section wall temperature distributions and a clear display of both critical heat flux and post-critical heat flux for this single-side heated configuration. These results are very encouraging in that they are among the first full set of truly three-dimensional monoblock test section wall temperature measurements for a one-side heated monoblock flow channel which contains the effects of conjugate heat transfer for turbulent, subcooled flow boiling. Comparisons are made between these results for the monoblock test section and those for a single-side heated circular test section.

In thermohydraulic analysis, unsteady subcooled flow boiling is of vital importance to both natural circulation systems where flow instabilities are frequently encountered and offshore nuclear power systems which operate under the influence of ocean waves. An experimental study was conducted here to investigate how an imposed periodic flow oscillation affects the subcooled flow boiling heat transfer of water in a vertical tube. The average heat transfer characteristics and variations of the transient parameters are investigated. The result shows that there is a wall temperature overshoot as a consequence of boiling onset and the wall temperature downstream of boiling front could even drop below the saturation temperature under the high inlet subcooling of 75 °C. Under flow pulsation, intermittent flow boiling appears, when the imposed heat flux, q, is close to the boiling onset heat flux of steady flow, qs,onset. As a result of intermittent flow boiling, the average wall temperature of pulsating flow is lower than the wall temperature in steady flow when the q<qs,onset and the average wall temperature of pulsating flow is higher than the wall temperature in steady flow when the q>qs,onset. Moreover, during intermittent flow boiling, the boiling induced a decrease of the total pressure drop and can cause a large pressure fluctuation. In addition, two types variation of outlet fluid temperature fluctuations were observed and the wall temperatures present an extra local maximum and minimum values beside the extrema corresponding to the extremal mass flux.

For improving the functionality and signal speed of electronic devices, electronic components have been miniaturized and an increasing number of elements have been packaged in the device. As a result there has been a steady rise in the amount of heat necessitated to be dissipated from the electronic device. Recently microchannel heat sinks have been emerged as a kind of high performance cooling scheme to meet the heat dissipation requirement of electronics packaging, In the present study an experimental study of subcooled flow boiling in a high-aspect-ratio, one-sided heating rectangular microchannel with gap depth of 0.52 mm and width of 5 mm was conducted with deionized water as the working fluid. In the experimental operations, the mass flux was varied from 200 to 400 kg/m2s and imposed heat flux from 3 to 20 W/cm2 while the fluid inlet temperature was regulated constantly at 90 °C. The boiling curves, flow pattern and onset of nucleate boiling of subcooled flow boiling were investigated through instrumental measurements and a high speed camera. It was found that the slope of the boiling curves increased sharply once the superheat needed to initiate the onset of nucleate boiling was attained, and the slope was greater for lower mass fluxes, with lower superheat required for boiling incipience. As for the visualization images, for relatively lower mass fluxes the bubbles generated were larger and not easy to depart from the vertical upward placed narrow microchannel wall, giving elongated bubbly flow and reverse backflow. The thin film evaporation mechanism dominated the entire test section due to the elongated bubbles and transient local dryout as well as rewetting occurred. Meanwhile the initiative superheat and heat flux of onset of nucleate boiling were compared with existing correlations in the literature with good agreement.
