Computational and experimental investigation of condensation flow patterns and heat transfer in parallel rectangular micro-channels

•A 3-D computational model is constructed to predict condensation in micro-channels.•Predicted are flow patterns, micro-channel wall temperature, and fluid temperature.•Predictions are validated using experimental data for FC-72.•Good model accuracy is achieved in predicting both flow patterns and w...
