title = "Optimized expanding microchannel geometry for flow boiling",
abstract = "This study discusses the simulation of flow boiling in a microchannel and the predicted effects of channel geometry variation along the flow direction. Recent experimental studies have generated interest in expanding the cross-section of a microchannel to improve boiling heat transfer. The motivation for this geometry change is discussed, constraints and model selection are reviewed, and Revellin and Thome's critical heat flux criterion is used to bound the simulation of separated flow in a heated channel, via MATLAB. Expanding channel geometry permits higher heat rates before reaching critical heat flux.",
