Flow boiling heat transfer characteristics of CO2/lubricant mixture across different flow patterns

Key Points

• Flow boiling heat transfer characteristics vary significantly with different flow patterns, impacting system efficiency.
• Key metric indicates that CO2 combined with lubricants enhances heat transfer performance in specific configurations.
• Observational analysis across various flow patterns evaluates how CO2/lubricant mixtures behave under different thermal conditions.
• Findings suggest that optimizing flow patterns may improve heat transfer in cooling systems, leading to better performance.
