An experimental investigation has been conducted to measure pool boiling critical heat fluxes in reduced gravity. A horizontal cylindrical cartridge heater immersed in water at reduced pressures during parabolic flights on NASA’s KC-135 resulted in boiling on the heater surface. Visual observations and qualitative data trends indicate that the conventional Taylor-Helmholtz. instability model still governs the critical heat flux mechanism over the range of gravitational accelerations of the current study, which range from 0.0005 < g/go < 0.044. Using data from more than 40 individual tests, two semi-empirical correlations have been developed to account for the effect of thermocapillary flow, which tends to decrease the critical heat flux below the predictions of previous correlations.

Abstract Heat transfer and critical heat flux measurement are reported for pool boiling cooling of the base plate of an inverter power module. Novec 649 is used as refrigerant. Heat fluxes up to 14.6 W/cm2 were applied with refrigerant saturation temperatures of 36 °C, 41 °C and 46 °C. The measured boiling curves are comparable to those reported for similar refrigerants. The critical heat fluxes range from 12.1 W/cm2 to 14.6 W/cm2, which corresponds within 10% to the correlation of Zuber. The critical heat flux is significantly lower than the highest heat fluxes expected from the power module, indicating that methods to increase the critical heat flux are needed to enable two-phase power module cooling.

A laboratory study of dryout heat fluxes in particulate beds heated through the base is reported. More than two hundred experimental heat flux data points were measured. Semi-empirical correlations of the dryout heat flux data for both deep and shallow particulate beds are developed, based on flooding in countercurrent flow in deep beds and a boiling crises in shallow beds. The role of capillary forces in bed dryout is discussed and an explanation for the variation of dryout heat flux with bed height in volumetrically heated particulate beds is presented.

The Marangoni effect on the critical heat flux (CHF) condition in pool boiling of binary mixtures has been identified and its effect has been quantitatively estimated with a modified model derived from hydrodynamics. The physical process of CHF in binary mixtures, and models used to describe it, are examined in the light of recent experimental evidence, accurate mixture properties, and phase equilibrium revealing a correlation to surface tension gradients and volatility. A correlation is developed from a heuristic model including the additional liquid restoring force caused by surface tension gradients. The CHF condition was determined experimentally for saturated methanol/water, 2-propanol/water, and ethylene glycol/water mixtures, over the full range of concentrations, and compared to the model. The evidence in this study demonstrates that in a mixture with large differences in surface tension, there is an additional hydrodynamic restoring force affecting the CHF condition.

Experimental data for sodium boiling on horizontal surfaces containing artificial cavities at heat fluxes of 20,000 to 300,000 Btu/ft2 hr and pressures between 40 to 106 mm Hg were obtained. Observations are made for stable boiling, unstable boiling and “bumping.” Some recorded temperature variations in the solid close to the nucleating cavity are presented. It is suggested that for liquid metals the time for bubble growth and departure is a very small fraction of the total bubble cycle, hence the delay time during which a thermal layer grows is the most significant part of the process. On this basis the transient conduction heat transfer is solved for a periodic process, and the period time is found to be a function of the degree of superheat, the heat flux and the liquid thermal properties. A simplified model for stability of nucleate pool boiling of liquid metals is postulated from which the minimum heat flux for stable boiling can be found as a function of liquid-solid properties, liquid pressure, the degree of superheat, and the cavity radius and depth. At relatively low heat fluxes, convection currents have significant effects on the period time of bubble formation. An empirical correlation is proposed, which takes into account the convection effects, to match the experimental results.
