Abstract This article is about the influence of Taylor-Gortler vortices on heat transfer in concentric annular channels with turbulent decaying swirling flows. The study shows that the occurrence and transformation of secondary vortex structures has a significant effect on the distribution of heat flux over the annular channel surface. An explicit is relationship between the radial velocity fluctuations and the heat flux density distribution. The highest intensity of heat transfer on the outer surface is observed in the areas of positive radial velocity values, while on the inner surface it is observed in the areas of negative radial velocity values.

Vertical Annuli

The experiments on upward flow of supercritical water in a vertical annuli and 3-rod tight bundle simulator made of 485-mm heated-length tubes of 5.2-mm OD and 4.5-mm ID with four helical ribs of 0.6-mm height, 1-mm width, and axial 400-mm pitch are presented. Heat transfer and pressure drop under various operating conditions (inlet pressure and temperature, flow mass rate and heat flux) were investigated. Longitudinal wall temperature profiles made it possible to determine the place and flow thermal state of heat transfer deterioration (HTD) onset. Analysis of the obtained data (about 200 regimes) proved their good enough agreement with the correlations previously derived by the authors both for the heat flux rate (q/G)b of HTD beginning and for pressure drop in round tubes and annular channels. These correlations were updated to correct the results of their prediction. Computational fluid dynamics and its counterpart computational heat transfer were used for modeling the above-mentioned thermohydraulic processes studied in the first part of the work by finding the most adequate flow turbulence model and optimized domain meshing. The accepted model was benchmarked by some data on heat transfer and pressure drop in tubes and annular channels cooled by SCW.

The results of heat transfer to supercritical water flowing upward in a vertical annular channel (1-rod channel) and tight 3-rod bundle consisting of the tubes of 5.2-mm outside diameter and 485-mm heated length are presented. The heat-transfer data were obtained at pressures of 22.5, 24.5, and 27.5 MPa, mass flux within the range from 800 to 3000 kg/m2·s, inlet temperature from 125 to 352°C, outlet temperature up to 372°C and heat flux up to 4.6 MW/m2 (heat flux rate up to 2.5 kJ/kg). Temperature regimes of the annular channel and 3-rod bundle were stable and easily reproducible within the whole range of the mass and heat fluxes, even when a deteriorated heat transfer took place. The data resulted from the study could be applicable for a reference estimation of heat transfer in future designs of fuel bundles.

Stationary Heat Transfer

The effectiveness of stabilizing the surface temperature by a dispersed coolant flow is experimentally studied on a bench simulating energy intensive elements of thermonuclear installations A test section in which the maximum heat flux density can be obtained when being subjected to high-frequency heating was developed, manufactured, and assembled. The test section was heated using a VCh-60AV HF generator with a frequency of not lower than 30 kHz. A hydraulic nozzle with a conical insert was used as the dispersing device. Techniques for carrying out an experiment on studying a stationary heat transfer regime and for calculating thermophysical quantities were developed. The experimental data were obtained in the stationary heat transfer regime with the following range of coolant operating parameters: water pressure equal to 0.38 MPa, water mass flow rate equal to 5.35 ml/s, and induction heating power equal to 6--19 kW. Based on the data obtained, the removed heat flux density and the heat transfer coefficients were calculated for each stationary heat transfer regime. The dependences of the heat transfer coefficient on the removed heat flux density and of the removed heat flux density on the temperature difference have been obtained. High values of heat transfer coefficients and heat flux density at a relatively low coolant flow rate were achieved in the experiments.

In paper the experimental results on a heat transfer in annular channels with continuous twisting at length at one- and two-phase flows are observed. For a flow twisting the wire was spirally coiled on the central body of the annular channel (diameter of a wire is equal to annular gap altitude). Results of experimental data of a heat transfer of authors and various researchers at a single phase flow in annular channels with a continuous twisting are analyzed. Sampling of diagnostic variables (equivalent diameter and velocity) is spent and generalizing associations for heat transfer calculation on the concave and convex surfaces in a single-phase phase are offered. Also the technique of definition of temperature of the subcooled flow boiling beginning on surfaces of annular channels with a twisting is offered. Features of boiling, origination of heat transfer crisis and results of visualization of a two-phase flow structure in annular channels with twisting are described.

An experimental study of heat transfer to supercritical water has been performed at Xi'an Jiaotong University with a vertical annular tube. The annular test sections were constructed with an annular gap of 2 mm and an internal heater of 8 mm outer diameter. Experimental parameter covered pressures of 23 and 25 MPa, mass fluxes of 700 and 1000 kg/m2s, and heat fluxes of 200–1000 kW/m2. Experimental data were acquired from downward flow and upward flow, respectively. There were differences of heat-transfer characteristics between the two flow directions. Compared to upward flow, the heat-transfer coefficient increased at downward flow. A strong effect of spacer on heat transfer is observed at locations downstream of the device in the annuli regardless of flow direction. The spacer effect impaired the buoyancy effect at low heat flux, but not for large heat flux. Complex of forced convection and mixed convection in supercritical water is due to various thermophysical properties and the gravity. The affected zone of the spacer effect depends on the flow conditions. The buoyancy effect was analyzed qualitatively in this study and the criterion Gr¯/Re2.7<10-5 for negligible heat-transfer impairment was discussed. Four correlations were compared with the experimental data; the Swenson correlation predicted nearly the experimental data but overpredicted slightly the heat-transfer coefficients.

General Correlation

Typically, heat transfer researchers present results in the form of an empirically based relationship between a length-based Nusselt number, a length-based Reynolds number, and a fluid Prandtl number. This approach has resulted in a multitude of heat transfer correlations, each tied to a specific geometry type. Two recent studies have contributed key ideas that support the development of a more general correlation for turbulent heat transfer that is based on local parameters. Maciejewski and Moffat (1992a, b) found that wall heat transfer rates scale with streamwise turbulent velocity fluctuations and Anderson and Moffat (1992a, b) found that the adiabatic temperature rise is the driving potential for heat transfer. Using these two concepts and a novel approach to dimensional analysis, the present authors have formulated a general correlation for turbulent heat transfer. This correlation predicts wall heat flux as a function of the turbulent velocity fluctuations, the adiabatic temperature rise, and the fluid properties (density, specific heat, thermal conductivity, and viscosity). The correlation applies to both internal and external flows and is tested in air, water, and FC77. The correlation predicts local values of surface heat flux to within ± 12.0 percent at 95 percent confidence.

The research features the rational conditions of the process of rapid freezing for unpackaged small-sized foods by the method of continuous and discrete heat sink. The paper presents a graphical interpretation of the calculations of the average volume temperature for various temperature regimes that are used to freeze semi-finished products. The method makes it possible to determine the temperature at any time. The experiment defined the most rational range of air circulation speeds with a continuous heat sink in the range from 4 m/s to 6 m/s. The article features curves of changes in temperature and heat flux density during the rapid freezing of small-sized semi-finished meat products. They show the nature of the changes in the air coefficient of the meat sample heat transfer curves and the medium velocity of the object air. An increase in the heat flux density and a reduction in the duration of freezing by about 1.4 times occurred when the temperature of the cooling medium decreased from –20°C to – 40°C at an air speed of 6 m/s. The research determined the process characteristics of rapid freezing in continuous mode using a discrete heat sink. The authors describe the comparative characteristics of the change in the duration of the freezing process and the speed of the process with continuous and discrete heat sinks. The study presents the curves of changes in temperature and heat flux density during rapid freezing of small-sized semi-finished meat products, depending on the conditions of heat transfer. When a discrete heat sink was used, the duration of the freezing process was fpund to be 20 min, while with a continuous heat sink it lasted 26 min. The paper also includes a thermogram and the kinetics of heat sink during freezing in discrete conditions, as well as a software program for quick freezing of semi-finished minced meat products. The indicators of the meat quality are considered depending on the conditions of the heat sink, as well as the change in the physicochemical properties of the product after freezing and during storage. Studies of quality indicators of small-sized semi-finished meat products were carried out in the laboratory of the scientific-innovative enterprise “Sibagropererabotka” (Novosibirsk, Russia).
