In grinding processes, the grinding fluid is used to suppress the temperature rise in the grinding zone. Under some circumstances, the grinding fluid may undergo film boiling in the grinding zone, causing the workpiece temperature to rise significantly. The onsets of nucleate boiling and film boiling in the grinding zone are investigated in the present study. A model of heat transfer in grinding was previously developed (Jen and Lavine, 1995), which predicts the temperature and heat fluxes in the grinding zone. With some modification, this model is used here to predict the occurrence of film boiling of the grinding fluid. The dependence of the workpiece background temperature on the various grinding parameters is explored. The workpiece background temperature distribution along the grinding zone, and comparisons with experimental results, are presented.

Measurements were made of the heat transfer to Freon-113 at near atmospheric pressure, boiling outside a 6.5 mm dia horizontal steam-heated copper tube. Tests included pool boiling and also forced flow vertically upward at uelocities of 2.4, 4.0 and 6.8 m/s. The metal-to-liquid ΔT ranged from 13 to 125° C, resulting in nucleate, transition, and film boiling. The boiling curves for different velocities did not intersect or overlap, contrary to some prior investigators. The peak heat flux was proportional to the square root of velocity, agreeing with the Vliet-Leppert correlation, but disagreeing with the Lienhard-Eichhorn prediction of an exponent of 0.33. The forced-flow nucleate boiling data were well correlated by Rohsenow’s equation, except at high heat fluxes. Heat fluxes in film boiling were proportional to velocity to the exponent 0.56, close to the 0.50 value given by Bromley, LeRoy, and Robbers. Transition boiling was very sensitive to velocity; at a ΔT of 55° C the heat flux was 900 percent higher for a velocity of 2.4 m/s than for zero velocity.

In large, subcritical pressure, once-through power boilers heat is transferred to steam and water mixtures ranging in steam quality from zero per cent at the bottom of the furnace to 100 per cent at the top. In order to provide design information for this type of boiler, heat-transfer coefficients for forced convection film boiling were determined for water at 3000 psia flowing upward in a vertical stainless-steel tube, AISI Type 304, having an inside diameter of 0.408 inches and a heated length of 6 feet. Heat fluxes ranged between 90,000 and 180,000 Btu/hr-sq ft and were obtained by electrical resistance heating of the tube. The operation of the experimental equipment was controlled so that nucleate boiling, transition boiling, and stable film boiling occurred simultaneously in different zones of the tube. The film boiling data were correlated with a modified form of the equation Nu = a a(Re)m(Pr)n using steam properties evaluated at inside surface temperature. Results of a second series of heat-transfer tests with tubes having a helical rib on the inside surface showed that nucleate boiling could be maintained to much higher steam qualities with that type of tube than with a smooth-bore tube.

Pool boiling experiments were conducted with three horizontal, flat, silicon surfaces, two of which were coated with vertically aligned multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The two wafers were coated with MWCNT of two different thicknesses: 9 μm (Type-A) and 25 μm (Type-B). Experiments were conducted for the nucleate boiling and film boiling regimes for saturated and subcooled conditions with liquid subcooling of 0–30°C using a dielectric fluorocarbon liquid (PF-5060) as test fluid. The pool boiling heat flux data obtained from the bare silicon test surface were used as a base line for all heat transfer comparisons. Type-B MWCNT coatings enhanced the critical heat flux (CHF) in saturated nucleate boiling by 58%. The heat flux at the Leidenfrost point was enhanced by a maximum of ∼150% (i.e., 2.5 times) at 10°C subcooling. Type-A MWCNT enhanced the CHF in nucleate boiling by as much as 62%. Both Type-A MWCNT and bare silicon test surfaces showed similar heat transfer rates (within the bounds of experimental uncertainty) in film boiling. The Leidenfrost points on the boiling curve for Type-A MWCNT occurred at higher wall superheats. The percentage enhancements in the value of heat flux at the CHF condition decreased with an increase in liquid subcooling. However the enhancement in heat flux at the Leidenfrost points for the nanotube coated surfaces increased with liquid subcooling. Significantly higher bubble nucleation rates were observed for both nanotube coated surfaces.

The flow characteristic of fluid at low Prandtl number is of continued interest in the nuclear industry because liquid metals are to be used in the next-generation nuclear power reactors. In this work we performed direct numerical simulation (DNS) for turbulent channel flow with fluid of low Prandtl number. The Prandtl number was set to 0.025, which is representative of the behavior of liquid metals. Constant heat flux was imposed on the walls to study heat transfer behavior, with different boundary conditions for temperature fluctuation. The bulk Reynolds number was set as high as 50,000, with a corresponding friction Reynolds number of 1,200, which is closer to the situation in a reactor or a heat exchanger than used in normally available databases. Budgets for turbulent variables were computed and compared with predictions from several RANS turbulence models. In particular, the Algebraic Heat Flux Model (AHFM) has been the focus of this comparison with DNS data. The comparisons highlight some shortcomings of AHFM along with potential improvements.

Spray cooling experiments on the hot metallic surfaces with different initial temperatures were performed. This paper adopts a self-developing program which is based on the inverse heat transfer algorithm to solve the interfacial heat transfer coefficient and heat flux. The temperature-dependent interfacial heat transfer mechanism of water-air spray cooling is explored according to the wetting layer evolution taken by a high-speed camera and the surface cooling curves attained by the inverse heat transfer algorithm. Film boiling, transition boiling, and nucleate boiling stages can be noticed during spray cooling process of hot metallic surface. When the cooled surface?s temperature drops to approximately 369?C - 424?C; the cooling process transfers into the transition boiling stage from the film boiling stage. The wetting regime begins to appear on the cooled surface, the interfacial heat transfer coefficient and heat flux begin to increase significantly. When the cooled surface?s temperature drops to approximately 217?C - 280?C, the cooling process transfers into the nucleate boiling stage. The cooled surface was covered by a liquid film, and the heat flux begins to decrease significantly.

We present the results of an experimental study of the effects of externally imposed electric fields on boiling heat transfer and critical heat flux (CHF) in dielectric fluids. The study comprises the analysis of geometries that, under the effects of electric fields, cause the bubbles either to be pushed toward the heater or away from it. A local phase detection probe was used to measure the void fraction and the interfacial impact rate near the heater. It was found that the critical heat flux can be either augmented or reduced with the application of an electric field, depending on the direction of . In addition, the heat transfer can be slightly enhanced or degraded depending on the heat flux. The study of the two-phase flow in nucleate boiling, only for the case of favorable dielectrophoretic forces, reveals that the application of an electric field reduces the bubble detection time and increases the detachment frequency. It also shows that the two-phase flow characteristics of the second film boiling regime resemble more a nucleate boiling regime than a film boiling regime.
