Investigating the Costs and Benefits of Controllable Inlet Orifice Hydraulic Diameter in Microchannel Cooling Devices

abstract: Recent literature indicates potential benefits in microchannel cooling if an inlet orifice is used to suppress pressure oscillations that develop under two-phase conditions. This study investigates the costs and benefits of using an adjustable microchannel inlet orifice. The focus is on or...
