Analysis And Design

The introduction of water into a gas turbine circuit is known to provide benefits of increased efficiency and specific work output. There are several methods of humidification but the use of a pressurised saturator in an evaporative cycle offers many attractive features. This two-part paper presents an in-depth study of the saturator, in Part 1 via a thermodynamic approach and in Part 2 via a detailed heat and mass transfer analysis. The analysis in Part 2 starts from a rigorous control volume formulation and includes a derivation of the entropy production equation in keeping with the theory of irreversible thermodynamics. The specification of the heat and mass transfer coefficients is discussed and an analytical expression derived for the liquid-gas interface temperature. A novel numerical procedure for solving the equations is then presented which provides more flexibility than the traditional method of solution. After a discussion on the possibility of occurrence of supersaturated vapour states, results are presented showing the effects of variation of saturator height. The limiting condition when the water exit temperature falls to the inlet vapour adiabatic saturation temperature is also discussed.

We investigated heat and mass transfer on water based nanofluid due to the combined effects of homogeneous–heterogeneous reactions, an external magnetic field and internal heat generation. The flow is generated by the movement of a linearly stretched surface, and the nanofluid contains nanoparticles of copper and gold. Exact solutions of the transformed model equations were obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. To gain more insights regarding subtle impact of fluid and material parameters on the heat and mass transfer characteristics, and the fluid properties, the equations were further solved numerically using the matlab bvp4c solver. The similarities and differences in the behavior, including the heat and mass transfer characteristics, of the copper–water and gold–water nanofluids with respect to changes in the flow parameters were investigated. Finally, we obtained the numerical values of the skin friction and heat transfer coefficients.

Calculation Results

The non-condensable gas is used to keep the pressure stable in the steam-gas pressurizer. The processes of heat and mass transfer during steam condensation in the presence of non-condensable gas play an important role and the thermal hydraulic characteristics in the pressurizer is particularly complicated due to the non-condensable gas. The effects of non-condensable gas on the process of heat and mass transfer during steam condensation were experimental investigated. A steam condensation experimental system under high pressure and natural convection was built and nitrogen was chosen in the experiments. The steam and nitrogen were considered in thermal equilibrium and shared the same temperature in the vessel under natural convection. In the experiments, the factors, for instance, pressure, mass fraction of nitrogen, subcooling of wall and the distribution of nitrogen in the steam, had been taken into account. The rate of heat transfer of steam condensation on the vertical wall with nitrogen was obtained and the heat transfer coefficients were also calculated. The characteristics curve of heat and mass transfer during steam condensation with non-condensable gas under high pressure were obtained and an empirical correlation was introduced to calculated to heat transfer coefficient of steam condensation with nitrogen which the calculation results showed great agreement with the experimental data.

Calculation Results

Film-inversion is an effective way recently developed to enhance heat and mass transfer in absorbers. However, only one-side of round or rectangular tube i.e. half of the total heat transfer area is used to form film-inverting configuration in the published literature. The paper presents a double-side film-inverting scheme, which consists of two plate bundles and a set of comb shaped conjunction guiders between them for leading solution film from both-sides of each couple of the upper plate bundle to the opposite sides of the bottom ones. A two-scale crosswise corrugation plate bundle, which has vertical large corrugations and horizontal small ones, is suggested instead of the plane plate bundle. The horizontal small corrugation can make the film turbulent and film distribution uniform before and after inversion with surface tension effect, thus increasing the heat and mass transfer coefficients of the absorption process. A mathematic model for heat and mass transfer in absorption process with aqueous Li-Br solution falling film-inverting on two sequential vertical plane plates was established and solved numerically. The distributions of dimensionless velocity, temperature and concentration of liquid film profile before and after film-inverting were obtained. The influence of the number of inversion on heat and mass transfer characteristics was analyzed. The calculation results show that the heat and mass transfer coefficients of the once-film-inverting scheme have about 58% and 73% increment respectively over these of the none film-inverting scheme.

The main goal of this paper is to describe new approach to constructing generalized closure relationships for pipe, annular and sub-channel transfer coefficients for wall friction, heat and mass transfer. The novelty of this approach is that it takes into account not only axial and transversal parameter distributions, but also an azimuthal substance transfer effects. These constitutive relations, which are primordial in the description of single- and two-phase one-dimensional (1D) flow models, can be derived from the initial 3D drift flux formulation. The approach is based on the Reynolds flow, boundary layer, and substance transfer generalized coefficient concepts. Another aim is to illustrate the validity of the “conformity principle” for the limiting cases. The method proposed in this paper is founded on the similarity theory, boundary layer model, and a phenomenological description of the regularity of the substance transfer (momentum, heat, and mass) as well as on an adequate simulation of the flow structures. With the proposed generalized approach it becomes possible to develop an integrated in form and semi-empirical in maintenance structure analytical relationships for wall friction, heat and mass transfer coefficients.

Experimental Errors

Some of the previously reported heat transfer coefficients with evaporation are fairly large as compared with those of a dry body under similar hydrodynamic conditions. In order to clarify this curious enhancement of heat transfer, a method of error evaluation was developed and applied to correct the experimental errors in the recently reported results. An experimental study was also made on turbulent heat and mass transfer of air flowing over a water surface. The present and the previously reported experimental results revealed that the heat transfer coefficient with evaporation agrees with that of a dry body without evaporation, within experimental error, if the erroneous heat inputs into the liquid are properly corrected according to the proposed method.
