In this paper, two-phase pressure drop data were obtained for boiling in horizontal rectangular microchannels with a hydraulic diameter of 0.55 mm for R-134a over mass velocities from 790 to 1122, heat fluxes from 0 to 31.08 kW/m2 and vapor qualities from 0 to 0.25. The experimental results show that the Chisholm parameter in the separated flow model relies heavily on the vapor quality, especially in the low vapor quality region (from 0 to 0.1), where the two-phase flow pattern is mainly bubbly and slug flow. Then, the measured pressure drop data are compared with those from six separated flow models. Based on the comparison result, the superficial gas flux is introduced in this paper to consider the comprehensive influence of mass velocity and vapor quality on two-phase flow pressure drop, and a new equation for the Chisholm parameter in the separated flow model is proposed as a function of the superficial gas flux . The mean absolute error (MAE ) of the new flow correlation is 16.82%, which is significantly lower than the other correlations. Moreover, the applicability of the new expression has been verified by the experimental data in other literatures.

Abstract A numerical simulation is performed on a single stage centrifugal compressor using the commercially available CFD software, CFX-TASCflow. The steady flow is obtained by circumferentially averaging the exit fluxes of the impeller. Three runs are made at design condition and off-design conditions. The predicted performance is in agreement with experimental data. The flow details inside the stationary components are investigated, resulting in a flow model describing the volute/diffuser interaction at design and off-design conditions. The recirculation and twin vortex structure are found to explain the volute loss increase at lower and higher mass flows, respectively.
