a quick snaphot to our research !
Here you see 2 snapshots taken from 2 high speed videos. The topmost video helps us to identify the two phase flow behavior. We can identify the nucleation points very precisely and we can also track the bubbles' path, which helps us to define a flow map that contains information of flow behaviors under different working conditions. The colored video is a thermographic video that is synhcronized with the black and white one, by using thermochromic liquid crystals and their specific calibration, we can identify the temprateure values with a great precision at every point of the flow any time. By mathcing the results taken after analyzing high speed and temperature modification videos, we can identify the refrigerant's phase change, heat transfer and mechanic behaviors which can lead us to design more heat efficient systems. Different results are observed by using different liquids or refrigerants. The analysis of all these liquids & refrigerants, image processing and technical analysis are executed by our group members.Likewise our unique facility is also built by our group members.
