Verification of the method for determining heat fluxes and heat loses in experiments with a shear-driving liquid film

Abstract

The cooling of microelectronic equipment is currently one of the most difficult problems of thermal physics. To achieve high heat fluxes and reduce the volume of liquid used, the technological solution looks especially promising, where heat is transferred from the fuel element to a thin, intensely evaporating film of liquid moving under the action of friction of a forced gas flow in a mini-or micro-channel. In recent works, the study of heat losses and determination of the true heat flux in experiments with an intensely evaporating liquid film moving under the action of a gas flow in a mini-channel was carried out. In this paper, the task is to verify the method for determining heat losses. Heat transfer in the convective flow regime is investigated. The experimental and calculated Nusselt numbers in convection experiments with complete channel flooding are in good agreement. In addition, the experimental and calculated Nusselt numbers for film flows are in good agreement. This indicates the correctness of the method for determining heat flux and heat losses in previous studies.
