Abstract

Study of two phase flow regimes in a mini/micro channel finds its applications in micro-fluidic devices such as micro heat exchangers owing to its large heat transfer. Such systems have large surface to volume ratio. The present work detail the results obtained for bubbly and slug flow regimes formed in a T-junction for an air water mixture. Experiments are performed in two different tubes with internal diameters of 0.6mm and 2.5mm having a length of 100mm. Image processing techniques are employed using MATLAB software. The data will be helpful in designing fluid flow mini/micro channels commonly used in thermal MEMS.
