CORRELATIONS BETWEEN PRESSURE DROP AND TWO-PHASE FLOW REGIMES IN MICROCHANNEL NETWORKS

摘要

Microfluidics has experienced a significant increase in research activities in recent years with a wide range of applications emerging, such as micro heat exchangers, energy conversion devices, microreactors, lab-on-chip devices and micro total chemical analysis systems (μTAS). Efforts to enhance or extend the performance of single phase microfluidic devices are met by two-phase flow systems [1,2].
