Liquid Film Flow

In our previous investigations the formation of liquid bump of locally heated laminar liquid film with co-current gas flow was obtained [1,2]. The evaporation of liquid was left out of account. Heat transfer to the gas phase was approximately specified by a constant Biot number [2,3]. The aim of this work is an investigation of the evaporation effect, the hydrodynamics and the heat transfer of liquid film flow in a channel 0.2–1 mm height. The 2-D model of locally heated liquid film moving under gravity and the action of co-current gas flow with low viscosity in a channel are considered. The channel can be inclined at an angle with respect to horizon. It is supposed that the height of the channel is much less than its width. Surface tension is assumed to depend on temperature. The velocity profiles for gas and liquid regions are found from problem of joint motion of isothermal non-deformable liquid film and gas flow. Using the findings the joint solution of heat transfer and diffusion problem with corresponding boundary condition is calculated. Having the temperature field in the whole of liquid and gas flow region we find a local heat transfer coefficient on the gas-liquid interface and Biot number as a function of flow parameters and spatial variables.

Liquid Film Flow

The purpose of the present study is to obtain a comprehension for the momentum and heat transfer developments in gravitational liquid film flow. Analytical study of stabilized heat transfer for turbulent film was performed. A calculation method of the local heat transfer coefficient for a turbulent film falling down a vertical convex surface was proposed. The dependence of heat flux variation upon the distance from the wetted surface has been established analytically. Experimental study of velocity profiles for turbulent liquid film flow in the entrance region is performed as well. Analysis of profiles allowed estimating the length of stabilization for turbulent film flow under different initial velocities.

Good Agreement

Local heat-transfer measurements are reported for a transpiration-cooled cylinder in crossflow. The stagnation point measurements are found to be in good agreement with results from plane stagnation flow theory. In the laminar region beyond the stagnation point, the equivalent wedge method is found to predict heat-transfer performance within 10 percent of the experimental values. In the separated flow region the experimental results demonstrate that the transpiration process is still very effective in reducing the heat transfer.

Thermomechanical characteristics of the gas flow at the turbocharger compressor outlet largely determine the quality of the intake process in piston engines with boost. The article presents the results of an experimental study of gas-dynamics and heat transfer of gas flows after compression in a turbocharger centrifugal compressor. A brief description of the experimental setup, the configuration of pipes under investigation, the measuring system and the experimental features are given. The studies were carried out on a free compressor, i.e. without considering the piston part. Different conditions in the compressor outlet channel were created by installing special nozzles with different hydraulic resistances. It has been established that the local heat transfer increases from 23 to 46 % with an increase in the turbocharger rotor speed, depending on the outlet channel configuration. It should be noted that an increase in rotor speed is also accompanied by an increase in air flow through the channel. The increase in flow rate was from 10 to 42 %.

Liquid Film Flow

A two-dimensional model of a steady laminar flow of liquid film and co-current gas flow in a plane channel is considered. It is supposed that the height of a channel is much less than its width. There is a local heat source on the bottom wall of the channel. An analytical solution for the temperature distribution problem in locally heated liquid film is obtained, when the velocity profile is linear. An analytical solution of the linearized equation for thermocapillary film surface deformation is found. A liquid bump caused by the thermocapillary effect in the region where thermal boundary layer reaches the film surface is obtained. Damped oscillations of the free surface may exist before the bump. This is obtained according to the solution of the problem in an inclined channel. It depends on the forces balance in the film. The defining criterion is found for this effect. The oscillations of free surface do not exist for horizontally located channel.

Liquid Film Flow

This paper extends previous liquid film flow boiling studies by including the effect of an additional electrohydrodynamic (EHD) force, namely, the dielectrophoretic (DEP) force. Rather than using only EHD conduction pumping of the liquid film to electro-wet the heater surface, a localized nonuniform electric field above the heater surface is established to generate a DEP force for improved vapor bubble extraction during the nucleate boiling regime. The effects of liquid film height and applied potential are studied as a function of heater superheat and heat flux. A brief analytical study is also used to estimate the expected DEP force magnitude to explain the results. All of the above studies are also used to quantify the enhancement in heat transfer that can be achieved when heat transport systems are driven or augmented by these two EHD mechanisms. The results show remarkable enhancement of up to 1217% in boiling heat transfer coefficient at a given superheat when both mechanisms are used simultaneously. The experimental data are important for applications in thermal management in terrestrial and space conditions.
