Abstract An experimental study of flow boiling through diverging microchannels has been carried out in this work, with the aim of exploring reduction in flow
instabilities during boiling in diverging microchannels. Effect of mass flux, heat flux and divergence angle on two phase pressure drop has been
studied using deionized water as the working fluid. The experiments are carried out on three test sections with divergence angle of 4, 8 and 12 deg
with nearly constant hydraulic diameter (146, 154 and 157 µm respectively), for inlet mass flux and heat flux range of 117 - 1197 kg/m2 More >
