An experimental investigation of flow boiling heat transfer characteristics and the triggering mechanisms of CHF in a natural circulation loop under moderate to low driving forces

Flow boiling heat transfer, flow instability, and critical heat flux (CHF) were investigated experimentally in a vertical R134a natural circulation loop with an integrated reservoir. Tests on flow heat transfer characteristics and flow visualization were conducted at filling rati...

From pore-scale mechanisms to hydraulic-work analysis: a microfluidic study of CO2-EOR via WAG, FWAG, and PWAG

To mitigate severe gas channeling and poor volumetric sweep during CO 2 flooding in low-permeability conglomerate reservoirs, WAG and its enhanced variants, FWAG and PWAG, are widely used for mobility control. However, pore-scale evidence remains limited on how flow resistance, f...
