Understanding the bubble regimes is a fundamental step toward conducting heat transfer
enhancement. The non-invasive measurement of mixing inside a direct-contact heat transfer …

This paper presents a straightforward method for assessing the uniformity and mixing time of
bubbles based on uniform design in a direct contact heat exchanger. The evolution of …

The study of bubble swarm distributions in a direct-contact heat exchanger was addressed
both theoretically and experimentally. But recently developed approach based on uniform …

In this study, the effect of bubble population morphological characteristics and heat transfer
performance in the direct contact boiling heat transfer process under two different flow …

A new index, the estimate of the error variance, which can be used to quantify the evolution
of the flow patterns when multiphase components or tracers are difficultly distinguishable …

In this work, a combination of morphological processing and watershed algorithm is
proposed to measure bubble size, based on which an improved frame difference method is …

Direct-contact heat transfer involves the exchange of heat between two immiscible fluids by
bringing them into contact at different temperatures. There are two basic bubbling regimes in …

As the binary image fails to reflect the density distribution of the bubble, this paper proposes
an improved new indicator for accurate measurement of spatial uniformity based on gray …

By bringing two immiscible fluids at different temperatures into a direct contact heat
exchanger (DCHE), bubble swarms are produced in the dual-loop ORC direct contact …

The evaporation of a single n-pentane drop in another warm flowing liquid (water) medium
has been studied experimentally. A Perspex column with an internal diameter of 10 cm and …
