Experimental investigation of the two-phase flow in a short horizontal microchannel with the height of 50 μm and width of 20 mm
The two-phase flow has been studied experimentally in a short horizontal microchannel with the height of 50 μm and width of 20 mm. The following regimes of two-phase flows have been registered: jet, bubble, stratified, annular, and churn. The regime map of two-phase flow has been plotted. This map h...

| Summary: | The two-phase flow has been studied experimentally in a short horizontal microchannel with the height of 50 μm and width of 20 mm. The following regimes of two-phase flows have been registered: jet, bubble, stratified, annular, and churn. The regime map of two-phase flow has been plotted. This map has been compared with the regime map plotted for the channels of larger cross-section; it is shown that the height and width of a rectangular channel has a significant effect on the boundaries between flow regimes. |
