Two-phase (water and air) slug flow is established in entrance effect free microchannel test sections of various surface wettabilities. Pressure drop measurements and flow pattern detection by high speed visualization are employed to characterize the flow. Pressure drop of flow in hydrophilic channels is lesser than that of flow in hydrophobic channels. Significant change in contact line in advancing and receding interface section with surface wettability is observed. %@ 0-7918-4302-5
