KANDLIKAR THIRD NUMBER (K3) MAP FOR FLOW BOILING IN MICROCHANNELS AND MICROGRAVITY

Abstract

As an extension of the recent work of Baldassari and Marengo (Baldassari C., Marengo M., Flow Boiling in Microchannels and Microgravity, Progress in Energy and Combustion Science 39 (2013) 1, pp. 1-36), this note presents Kandlikar third number (K3) map for flow boiling in microchannels and microgravity. Using several data points available in the literature, Kandlikar third number (K3) map was plotted versus the hydraulic diameter (dh) as the characteristic dimension for flow boiling in microchannels and microgravity. The ranges of the Kandlikar third number (K3), calculated using the hydraulic diameter (dh), are presented.
