    CRITICAL HEAT FLUX DURING FLOW BOILING IN MINI AND MICROCHANNEL-A STATE OF THE ART REVIEW

    P. K. Das*, S. Chakraborty, S. Bhaduri

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.1, pp. 1-17, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.1.3008

    Abstract A state of the art review of critical heat flux during flow boiling through mini and microchannels has been provided based on the open literature. This review mainly examines three aspects, namely the experimental investigations, the available correlations and the state of prediction using those correlations and finally the proposed physical mechanisms as well as the theoretical models. Before discussing the specific literature on microchannels, a brief overview of critical heat flux for pool and flow boiling is provided. The review has been concluded with a summary of the available information on this topic and the need for future research. More >

    A CRITICAL REVIEW OF RECENT INVESTIGATIONS ON TWO-PHASE PRESSURE DROP IN FLOW BOILING MICRO-CHANNELS

    Sira Saisorna,b, Somchai Wongwisesb,c,∗

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.1, pp. 1-7, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.1.3007

    Abstract Two-phase pressure drop during flow boiling has been studied for several decades. Obviously, the publications available on micro-channels are relatively small compared with those for ordinarily sized channels. Although the use of micro-channels yields several advantages, the pressure drop taking p lace in these extremely small channels is higher than that in the ordinarily sized channels because of the increased wall friction. The knowledge of the two-phase pressure drop characteristics in addition to heat transfer phenomena is essential to the design and evaluation of the micro-systems. In this paper, recent research on the flow boiling pressure drop in micro-scale channels… More >

    A CRITICAL REVIEW OF RECENT INVESTIGATIONS ON FLOW PATTERN AND HEAT TRANSFER DURING FLOW BOILING IN MICRO-CHANNELS

    Sira Saisorna,b, Somchai Wongwisesb,c,*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.1, pp. 1-15, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.1.3006

    Abstract A summary of recent research on flow boiling in micro-channels is provided in this article. This review aims to survey and identify new findings arising in this important area, which may contribute to optimum design and process control of high performance miniature devices comprising extremely small channels. Several criteria for defining a micro-channel are presented at first and the recent works on micro-scale flow boiling are subsequently described into two parts including flow visualization and two-phase heat transfer. The results obtained from a number of p revious studies show that the flow behaviours and heat transfer mechanisms in micro-channels deviate… More >

    CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROLAYER FORMATION AND HEAT TRANSFER IN MINI/MICROCHANNEL BOILING SYSTEMS: A REVIEW

    Yaohua Zhanga,*, Yoshio Utakab

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.1, pp. 1-12, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.1.3003

    Abstract This paper reviews recent research on microlayer formed by confined vapor bubbles during boiling in mini/microchannels. Experimental measurements, simulations and theoretical studies are described and compared. As a reference to clarify the mechanism for the formation of a microlayer, Taylor flow (i.e. elongated bubble flow in mini/micro circular tubes under adiabatic conditions and at Re << 1) and elongated bubble flow at high velocity, with consideration of the influence of inertia, are also reviewed. Compared to the steady adiabatic conditions, one of the distinct points for the boiling condition is that the bubble grows exponentially due to rapid evaporation of… More >

    ONSET OF NUCLEATE BOILING IN MINI AND MICROCHANNELS: A BRIEF REVIEW

    Tomio Okawa*,†

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.3, No.1, pp. 1-8, 2012, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v3.1.3001

    Abstract The present article summarizes the studies on the thermalhydraulic condition under which the onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) is triggered in subcooled flow boiling. Available correlations and experimental data show that the ONB is tended to be delayed in mini and microchannels. It is known that the ONB condition is significantly dependent on the surface condition even in conventional-sized channels. Accumulation of ONB data accompanied by the information on the surface condition is therefore considered of importance to elucidate the mechanisms of boiling incipience in microchannels. Discussion is also made for the bubble dynamics observed in mini and microchannels. It… More >

    Saddlepoint Approximation Method in Reliability Analysis: A Review

    Debiao Meng1,2,*, Yipeng Guo1,2, Yihe Xu3, Shiyuan Yang1,2,*, Yongqiang Guo4, Lidong Pan4, Xinkai Guo2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2329-2359, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.047507

    Abstract The escalating need for reliability analysis (RA) and reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) within engineering challenges has prompted the advancement of saddlepoint approximation methods (SAM) tailored for such problems. This article offers a detailed overview of the general SAM and summarizes the method characteristics first. Subsequently, recent enhancements in the SAM theoretical framework are assessed. Notably, the mean value first-order saddlepoint approximation (MVFOSA) bears resemblance to the conceptual framework of the mean value second-order saddlepoint approximation (MVSOSA); the latter serves as an auxiliary approach to the former. Their distinction is rooted in the varying expansion orders of the performance function as… More >

    A Review of the Tuned Mass Damper Inerter (TMDI) in Energy Harvesting and Vibration Control: Designs, Analysis and Applications

    Xiaofang Kang1,2,*, Qiwen Huang1, Zongqin Wu1, Jianjun Tang1, Xueqin Jiang1, Shancheng Lei3

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.3, pp. 2361-2398, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.043936

    Abstract Tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) is a device that couples traditional tuned mass dampers (TMD) with an inertial device. The inertial device produces resistance proportional to the relative acceleration at its two ends through its “inertial” constant. Due to its unique mechanical properties, TMDI has received widespread attention and application in the past twenty years. As different configurations are required in different practical situations, TMDI is still active in the research on vibration control and energy harvesting in structures. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research status of TMDI. This work first examines the generation and important vibration… More >

    An Online Fake Review Detection Approach Using Famous Machine Learning Algorithms

    Asma Hassan Alshehri*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.78, No.2, pp. 2767-2786, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.046838

    Abstract Online review platforms are becoming increasingly popular, encouraging dishonest merchants and service providers to deceive customers by creating fake reviews for their goods or services. Using Sybil accounts, bot farms, and real account purchases, immoral actors demonize rivals and advertise their goods. Most academic and industry efforts have been aimed at detecting fake/fraudulent product or service evaluations for years. The primary hurdle to identifying fraudulent reviews is the lack of a reliable means to distinguish fraudulent reviews from real ones. This paper adopts a semi-supervised machine learning method to detect fake reviews on any website, among other things. Online reviews… More >
