An experimental and numerical investigation of the pressure loss and the heat transfer in the bend region of a smooth two-pass cooling channel with a 180°-turn has been performed. The channels have a rectangular cross-section with a high aspect ratio of H/W = 4. The heat transfer has been measured using the transient liquid crystal method. For the investigations the Reynolds-number as well as the distance between the tip and the divider wall (tip distance) are varied. While the Reynolds number varies from 50’000 to 200’000 and its influence on the normalized pressure loss and heat transfer is found to be small, the variations of the tip distance from 0.5 up to 3.65 W produce quite different flow structures in the bend. The pressure loss over the bend thus shows a strong dependency on these variations.

We present the results of an experimental investigation of the evaporation of a liquid meniscus in a high aspect ratio micro-channel. The study investigates evaporation rates of a stationary liquid meniscus in a high aspect ratio microchannel, the wall of which is electrically heated using transparent resistive coating. Four different liquids are used as working fluids. We report on the dependence of the measured overall evaporation rate on the applied power. The results indicate, and consistently, that the evaporation rate increases with the applied power then peaks before declining. In order to gain insight into these results, we used thermographic infra red imaging to map the temperature field on the external wall of the microchannel. The measurements show that there is a good correlation between the maximum in the evaporative rate and the onset of instabilities of the interface. These instabilities, to our mind, are induced by an increasing temperature gradient along the microchannel wall around the three phase contact line region. These instabilities are revealed by a high speed camera used to record the behaviour of the interface during evaporation.
