Abstract

The main aim of this work was to provide heat transfer calculations of flow boiling in mini-channels with an application for the Trefftz functions. The test section comprised five parallel mini-channels with a depth of 1 mm, with a common heated wall. For the estimation of the temperature uncertainty, during the experiment the temperature measurement was performed with the use of K-type thermoelements and an infrared camera in two mini-channels simultaneously. According to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement , the Monte Carlo method is a practical alternative to the GUM uncertainty framework. Since the uncertainty components are not approximately the same magnitude, the Monte Carlo method was indicated to estimate the uncertainty of the surface temperature measurement. The results obtained from this simulation method were compared with the results of the computation related to the uncertainty propagation method. The results of both methods of temperature measurement were found to be consistent. The results of the statistical analysis were used to describe heat transfer calculations. The heat transfer investigations concerning the subcooled boiling region were performed during the other experiment. The local heat transfer coefficients on the contact surface between the working fluid and the heated wall were calculated from the Robin boundary condition. The mathematical model described by the heat equation in the mini-channel wall and by the Fourier-Kirchhoff equation in a flowing fluid leads to an inverse heat transfer problem. This problem was solved using the FEM with the Trefftz-type basis functions. The estimation of temperature uncertainty measurements due to the Monte Carlo method was included in the final results of the heat transfer coefficient.
