In this paper, heat transfer coefficients and critical heat fluxes of the R134a fluid in two-phase flow was studied in a 27-channel, 421 mu m hydraulic diameter and 40 mm long microchannel experimental set-up. Data were collected at constant mass flux of 1000 kg m(-2) s(-1), saturation inlet tempera...
