Evaporation And Condensation

A vapor chamber can meet the cooling requirements of high heat flux electronic equipment. In this paper, based on a proposed vapor chamber with a side window, a vapor chamber experimental system was designed to visually study its evaporation and condensation heat transfer performance. Using infrared thermal imaging technology, the temperature distribution and the vapor–liquid two-phase interface evolution inside the cavity were experimentally observed. Furthermore, the evaporation and condensation heat transfer coefficients were obtained according to the measured temperature of the liquid near the evaporator surface and the vapor near the condenser surface. The effects of heat load and filling rate on the thermal resistance and the evaporation and condensation heat transfer coefficients are analyzed and discussed. The results indicate that the liquid filling rate that maximized the evaporation heat transfer coefficient was different from the liquid filling rate that maximized the condensation heat transfer coefficient. The vapor chamber showed good heat transfer performance with a liquid filling rate of 33%. According to the infrared thermal images, it was observed that the evaporation/boiling heat transfer could be strengthened by the interference of easily broken bubbles and boiling liquid. When the heat input increased, the uniformity of temperature distribution was improved due to the intensified heat transfer on the evaporator surface.

Good Agreement

The heat transfer characteristics of a transformer using both standard mineral oil and nanodiamond oil was investigated numerically and compared to experimental measurements. The results of the model agree well with the standard oil measurements and with theoretical convective flows from the literature. However, the simulations could not predict the magnitude of the temperature variation in the nanodiamond oil, although the appropriate trend was observed. Because properties of the nanodiamond transformer oil are not well known, good agreement is not expected. Nevertheless, nanodiamond in transformer oil shows enhanced heat transfer performance over standard transformer oil.

Enhanced Heat Transfer

In order to transfer heat as much as possible through a unit area in unit time, this paper introduces three enhanced heat transfer structures, namely microchannel, open-celled metal foam and open-celled sintered porous metal. From two aspects of the heat transfer performance and the flow resistance, this paper reviews their research progress. Among three kinds of enhanced heat transfer structures, open-celled sintered porous metal has the best heat transfer performance, followed by open-celled metal foam and micro-channel. While, the sequence of the pressure drop of three kinds of enhanced heat transfer structures is in the reverse order. Thus, Enhanced heat transfer Structures with good heat transfer performance and small pressure drop are the future research direction.

Abstract Heat transfer enhancement is an important factor in obtaining energy efficiency improvements in all heat transfer applications. A numeric study was performed that compares the performance of heat exchangers using the Vipertex enhanced heat transfer tubes (model 1EHT) to the performance of heat exchangers that use smooth surface tubes and other enhanced tubes. Surface enhancement of the 1EHT tube is accomplished through the use of the primary dimple enhancement and a secondary background pattern made up of petal arrays. Utilization of enhanced heat transfer tubes is an effective method that is utilized in the development of high performance thermal systems. Vipertex™ tubes, have been designed and produced through material surface modifications that produce flow optimized heat transfer tubes that increase heat transfer performance. Current energy demands and the desire to increase efficiencies of systems have prompted the development of optimized enhanced heat transfer surfaces. Enhanced heat transfer tubes are widely used in many areas (refrigeration, air-conditioning, process, petrochemical, chemical, etc.) in order to reduce cost, create a smaller application footprint or increase production. A new type of enhanced heat transfer tube has been created; therefore it is important to investigate relevant heat exchanger designs using the Vipertex enhanced surface tube in industrial applications and compare that performance to smooth tubes and other enhanced tubes. Results include design characteristics and performance predictions using the design simulations produced using HTRI Exchanger Suite (2016). Performance for all cases considered using the Vipertex tube predicted over design when compared to a smooth tube design. Vipertex 1EHT tubes produced enhanced heat transfer and cost efficient designs. In some of the case studies the 1EHT tubes produce an overdesign that is more than 35%, while smooth tubes produce an underdesign and other low fin tubes produce overdesign but not as large as the 1EHT tubes.
