Sliding Bubbles in Confined Rectangular Channels
Speaker: Keith Hollingsworth, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of Alabama in Huntsville
Abstract: This seminar presents experimental and computational work done to characterize the heat transfer enhancement produced by a confined bubbly flow in rectangular minichannels. Our investigation uses high-speed imaging to observe the bubble field and liquid crystal thermography to measure the test surface temperature. These images may well be the first of their kind.
