CEFIPRA Centre Franco-Indien pour la Promotion de la Recherche Avancée Duration: Three years (December, 2010 to November, 2013) Objectives Taylor bubble flows have been extensively studied in the past. Most of these studies are under (i) adiabatic conditions, (ii) not in the mini/micro geometries (iii) under steady flow conditions. Thus, the fundamental understanding of such flows is highly lacking in mini/micro channel geometries, under phasechange processes and oscillating flow conditions. All these conditions are vital for emerging applications of mini/micro phase-change thermal-fluid systems. Such systems routinely have oscillations, either intentionally generated or occurring due to flow instabilities. The project aims to understand thermo-hydrodynamic response of oscillating Taylor flows under aforementioned boundary conditions and its subsequent effect on thermo-fluidic transport coefficients. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Infra Red Thermography (IRT) and High Speed Videography (HSV) were employed to achieve this aim. The results have direct implications on design and understanding of many advanced and upcoming mini/micro systems such as pulsating heat pipes, compact phase-change electronics cooling modules, micro-fluidic devices and microbiochemical reactors and mass transfer systems. Accomplishments i) Infra-red thermography of single-phase developing laminar flows ii) Heat transfer enhancement due to air-water Taylor bubble flows iii) Measurement of dynamic contact angle inside square capillary tubes iv) Realisation of an experimental bench for visualisation of one vapour plug and one liquid slug and first experiments Research papers published: One Project 4408-1 THERMO HYDRODYNAMICS OF PHASE CHANGE INDUCED OSCILLATING TAYLOR BUBBLE FLOWS Research Activities 2010-11 Material Sciences Dr. Sameer Khandekar Department of Mechanical Engineering Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur Prof. Jocelyn Bonjour Centre de Thermique de Lyon (CETHIL) INSA-Lyon Villeurbanne Experimental bench of the single-bubble PHP at INSA-Lyon (V) 79
