Dynamics and Heat transfer of Two-phase Non-Newtonian Fluids in Superhydrophobic Channels, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moosavi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
When the fluid passes through the microchannel, some energy is lost due to drag force and pressure drop. One of the methods used in the last few decades to optimize energy consumption is creating superhydrophobic surfaces in microchannels. These surfaces, with their features such as increasing the contact angle and reducing the contact angle hysteresis, can reduce energy loss, which is due to the presence of unevenness on the surface, and by trapping air and creating a two-phase flow, they reduce the drag force. On the other hand, the air trapped inside these irregularities will also affect the heat transfer of the passing fluid in the microchannel, which by creating resistance in the...
