Abstract
Abstract In this study, gas–liquid two-phase flows in a horizontal rectangular microchannel have been investigated. The rectangular microchannel has a hydraulic diameter of 0.235 mm, and a width and depth of 0.24 mm and 0.23 mm, respectively. A T-junction-type gas–liquid mixer was used to introduce gas and liquid in the channel. In order to know the effects of liquid properties, distilled water, ethanol, and HFE7200 were used as the test liquids, with nitrogen gas was used as the test gas. The flow pattern, the bubble length, the liquid slug length, and the bubble velocity in two-phase flow were measured with a high-speed video camera, and the void fraction was determined from the bubble velocity data and the superficial gas velocity data. In addition, the pressure drop was also measured with a calibrated differential pressure transducer. The bubble length data were compared with the calculation by the scaling law proposed by Garstecki et al. [7]. The bubble velocity data and/or the void fraction data were well correlated with the well-known drift flux model [12] with a new distribution parameter correlation developed in this study. The frictional pressure drop data were also well correlated with the Lockhart-Martinelli method with a correlation of the two-phase friction multiplier.

He studied at University of Toronto as a fellowship researcher of the Japanese Ministry Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology. His research is concerned with multiphase flow, especially gas–liquid two-phase flow. He has studied subchannel flow in order to get information for improving subchannel analysis code in a BWR fuel rod bundle. Recently, he has studied characteristics of two-phase flow in micro- and small-channels and development of a multifluid mixer that can generate micro-bubbles, or mist.
