2.2. Void Fraction in Microchannels

2.2.1. Introduction

Several studies have been conducted over the years to understand various aspects of two-phase flow in microchannel for designing efficient and reliable thermal management systems for commercial and defense applications. Void fraction is one of the important factors in two-phase flow; it is used to calculate several other parameters of interest such as the heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop, two-phase flow density, two-phase flow viscosity, and average velocities of the respective phases.

Void fraction is defined in multiple ways. Volumetric void fraction is defined as the ratio of vapor volume to the total volume for a fixed channel length. In the area-averaged void fraction, fraction of cross-sectional area of channel occupied by the vapor phase is calculated. The chordal void fraction is evaluated by dividing the length of the vapor phase by the channel length. The local void fraction is referred to the ratio of time spent by vapor phase at a particular point to the total time. The void fraction in a channel varies both along the length of the channel and with time.

2.2.2. Different Methods of Void Fraction Measurement

Several methods have been developed for measuring the void fraction, some of which are discussed in this section. Pujara et al. [48] summarized the void fraction measurement techniques as listed in Table 2.6.

2.2.2.1. Experimental Methods

Singh et al. [49] used image processing technique to study the heat transfer and different flow regime maps during the flow boiling of water in the microchannel of hydraulic diameter of 140 μm. A 2-inch, 275 ± 25-μm-thick, p-type, double-side polished silicon wafer was used to fabricate microchannels with dimensions of 173 × 119 × 20 μm using CMOS technique. Surface roughness was less than 0.1 μm, and sealing was achieved with a quartz plate. Deionized water was used as the working fluid. Chrome-gold thin-film stack was used as micro-heater material as it showed good linearity with respect to temperature along with high chemical and thermal stability.

Capacitance method

Measurement of volumetric void fraction

2. Relatively low cost

3. Not easy to calibrate the capacitance with void fraction due to signal dependency on the void fraction and flow patterns

An image processing algorithm was developed to estimate the void fraction and evaluate the percentage of different flow regimes and heat transfer coefficient as the function of position, heat flux, and mass flow rate. In image processing, images were first recorded using a camera. The vapor region was identified next, and void fraction was estimated as the ratio of area of vapor to total area of the microchannel in the image. The images correspond to the plane normal to the flow direction (and not the cross-sectional view) of the microchannel. Steps for image processing techniques are:

1. First, background image was read and boundaries were whitened for edge detection. Microchannel was extracted by cropping. Whitening was required to know whether bubbles were fully enclosed by edges and its area was well defined.

2. Sample image was read, and microchannel was extracted by cropping.

3. Background was removed to reduce noise. It was done by subtracting background image from the sample image.

4. Sample image was then converted to intensity image or grayscale from RGB file type. Histogram equalization was done before converting to a binary image.

5. Noise was removed by median filter.

6. Edges were identified and vapor region with closed contours was filled.

7. Small objects with less than 40 pixels were left out for calculation of total area of vapor.

They observed that void fraction increased along the downstream of flow in the microchannel. This was observed due to the fact that the fraction of liquid in the microchannel decreased due to evaporation, which made a monotonic increase in the void fraction. Also, it was observed that the void fraction increased with lowering the volumetric flow rate. This was because a larger liquid fraction was evaporated to vapor at a given heat flux as the volumetric flow rate was reduced, thereby increasing the void fraction.

Gijsenbergh and Puers [50] developed a capacitive fringing fields-based sensor to measure void fraction in silicon microchannels of 100 μm (width) by 500 μm (height) cross section. The test section consisted of 60 channels having dimensions of 500 μm (depth) × 100 μm (width) × 1000 μm (long) and made of silicon die of 650-μm thickness. The change in permittivity due to change in fluid content was detected via the sensors connected to the top and the bottom electrodes. The top electrode was located at the back of each channel of silicon microchannels, and the bottom electrode was mounted on a glass substrate of each channel and insulated with a layer of Pyrex glass as shown in Fig. 2.21. The capacitance network of the system is shown in Fig. 2.22, where the total capacitance was given by,

total=2CSiliconwall+[1CSiliconceiling+1Cch]−1

(2.46)

The individual capacitance, CSilicon wall, CSilicon ceiling, and Cch depend on the electrode area, the layer thickness, the absolute permeability abs and relative permeability rel. As the geometry of the sensor is fixed, all capacitances except relative permeability rel are known. The relative permeability rel, which varies due to change in fluid content in channel, is estimated for annular flow using numerical simulation. The relative permeability rel at two extremes, viz. channel completely filled with air and water, are evaluated and subsequently, the variation in rel with different proportions of air–water is correlated, which is found to be quasilinear in nature.

The capacitance measured by the sensor is digitized using a 16-bit sigma-delta capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC). The digital signal is then converted into an analog voltage using a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Their result shows a linear relationship with the measured voltage and void fraction.

Paranjape et al. [51] developed an electrical impendence-based sensor to measure void fraction in microchannels with a square cross section of 780 × 780 μm and length of 50.8 mm. Deionized water and air were used in their two-phase experiments. The faces of two electrodes made of 304 stainless steel were flush mounted to the opposite sidewalls of...
