Enhancement of friction factors for microchannels fabricated using laser powder directed energy deposition by Paul Gradl, Angelo Cervone, Piero Colonna

“…This paper presents experimental testing and analysis of microchannels fabricated using the laser powder directed energy deposition (LP-DED) additive manufacturing (AM) process. Research has shown that as-built surfaces result in differential pressure higher than what is predicted with current correlations and surface enhancements may be required for heat exchangers built using AM to meet the desired pressure drop specifications. …”
