Deskripsi

The boiling curves and heat transfer coefficients between the heating surface and fluid were investigated in the paper. Copper samples with horizontal microchannels of rectangular cross-section, variable depth and width were the objects of the study. The following geometrical parameters have been used: microchannel width 0.2; 0.3 and 0.4 mm, depth between 0.2 and 0.5 mm (change every 0.1 mm). Boiling refrigerant was Novec-649 (GWP = 1), and the experiment was performed at atmospheric pressure. Geometrical parameters impact, within a given range of heat flux 3 – 130 kW/m2, on the heat transfer process was determined.
