Journal Article
Schepperle, M., Samkhaniani, N., Magnini, M., Woias, P., & Stroh, A. (2024). Understanding Inconsistencies in Thermohydraulic Characteristics Between Experimental and Numerical Data for Di Water Flow Through a Rectangular Microchannel. ASME Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 146(3), Article 031801. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4064330

Facing discrepancies between numerical simulation, experimental measurement and theory is common in studies of fluid flow and heat transfer in microchannels. The cause of these discrepancies is often linked to the transition from the macro-scale to t...

Computational study of bubble, thin-film dynamics and heat transfer during flow boiling in non-circular microchannels (2023)
Journal Article
Municchi, F., Markides, C., Matar, O., & Magnini, M. (2024). Computational study of bubble, thin-film dynamics and heat transfer during flow boiling in non-circular microchannels. Applied Thermal Engineering, 238, Article 122039. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2023.122039

Flow boiling in multi-microchannel evaporators is one of the most efficient thermal management solutions for high-power-density applications. However, there is still a lack of understanding of the governing two-phase heat and mass transfer processes...
