The subcooled boiling heat transfer and the critical heat flux (CHF) due to exponentially increasing heat inputs with various periods (Q=Q0 exp(t/τ), τ=22.52 ms–26.31 s) were systematically measured by an experimental water loop flow and observed by an infrared thermal imaging camera. Measurements were made on a 3 mm inner diameter, a 66.5 mm heated length, and a 0.5 mm thickness of platinum test tube, which was divided into three sections (upper, mid, and lower positions). The axial variations of the inner surface temperature, the heat flux, and the heat transfer coefficient from nonboiling to critical heat flux were clarified. The results were compared with other correlations for the subcooled boiling heat transfer and authors’ transient CHF correlations. The influence of exponential period (τ) and flow velocity on the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHF was investigated and the predictable correlation of the subcooled boiling heat transfer for turbulent flow of water in a short vertical tube was derived based on the experimental data. In this work, the correlation gave 15% difference for subcooled boiling heat transfer coefficients. Most of the CHF data (101 points) were within 15% and −30 to +20% differences of the authors’ transient CHF correlations against inlet and outlet subcoolings, respectively.

Abstract Pool boiling and in-tube condensation phenomena have been investigated intensively during the past decades, due to the superior heat transfer capacity of the phase change process. In passive heat removal heat exchangers of nuclear power plants, the two phase-change phenomena usually occur simultaneously on both sides of the tube wall to achieve the maximum heat transfer efficiency. However, the studies on the effects of in-tube condensation on external pool boiling heat transfer are very limited, especially in numerical computation aspect. In the present study, the saturated pooling boiling over a vertical tube under the influences of in-tube steam condensation is investigated numerically. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) interface tracking method is employed based on the 2D axisymmetric Euler-Euler multiphase frame. The phase change model combining with a mathematical smoothing algorithm and a temporal relaxation procedure has been implemented into CFD platform by user defined functions (UDFs). The two-phase flow pattern and bubble behavior have been analyzed. The effects of inlet steam mass flow rate on boiling heat transfer are discussed.

This study investigates the pool boiling heat transfer of water over cylindrical heating tubes for different orientations and surface roughness of the tubes. First, two orientations of a smooth heating tube, horizontal and vertical, were used in the boiling chamber. For a given heat flux, the heat transfer coefficient achieved with the horizontal tube was always higher than that for the vertical tube. To investigate the influence of surface roughness, a rough heating tube with a fully rough outer surface was developed through a metal etching process. Under the same range of wall superheat, the rough tube enhanced the heat transfer rate significantly compared to the smooth tube. Finally, a modified heating tube (MHT) was developed by axially roughening half of the surface of an originally smooth tube. The orientation angle of the rough surface of this MHT was varied from 0° (horizontal-upward) to 180° (horizontal-downward) in the chamber. The heat flux increased significantly with the increase of orientation angles from 0° to 90° (the maximum of 80 kW/m2 at 90°), whereas the same decreased as the orientation angle is further increased from 90° to 180°. Results revealed that the bubble dynamics over the heating tubes play a vital role in pool boiling performance.
