The behavior of rewetting on a high superheated and dry surface, focusing on rewetting temperature just as collapse of saturated and subcooled film boiling was investigated experimentally. Saturated and subcooled impingement jet experiments were conducted by using a silver plate with 40.0 mm × 40.0 mm (length × width) and the distilled water at atmospheric condition. The liquid subcooling was 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 75K, respectively. Temperature of the test heater was measured by using a infrared thermometer from a back side of it. Although the liquid velocity and liquid subcooling change, the sputtering temperature, i.e., rewetting initiation temperature, was close to 200 °C predicted by Nishio’s correlation.

The behavior of rewetting on a high superheated and dry surface, focusing on rewetting temperature just as collapse of saturated and subcooled film boiling was investigated experimentally by using a commercial separated-type infrared thermometer. Saturated and subcooled impingement jet experiments were conducted by using a silicon wafer with 20 mm length, 20 mm width and 0.5 mm thickness and pure water at atmospheric condition. Temperature of the test heater was measured by using a commercial separated-type infrared thermometer from a back side of it. The present experimental results showed that as the liquid subcooling was high, Minimum Heat Flux temperature (i.e., Minimum Film Boiling, rewetting temperature or quenching temperature) was higher. Furthermore, the effect of the rewetting temperature on liquid subcooling was similar to that of Dhir-Purohit’s correlation quantitatively.

Abstract This is the first part of a two-paper series that reports the design, experimentation, and results of a spray quenching experiment of a circular metal disk in terrestrial gravity conditions. The objective of this experiment is to provide experimental data and corresponding analysis on the heat transfer characteristics and chilldown performance of the cryogenic spray quenching process. In this paper, the presented continuous-flow spray quenching results include the spray-cone angle visualization, spray cooling heat transfer characteristics represented by chilldown curves and boiling curves, gravity effects, and Leidenfrost rewet point temperatures. Additionally, detailed discussion is given on the film boiling heat transfer and rewet temperature in terms of various contributing factors such as gravitational acceleration, spray mass flux, and radial position on the plate. Based on experimental data, empirical correlations for film boiling heat transfer coefficient and rewet temperatures are provided. We expect that, the current terrestrial study would offer invaluable information for the design of a robust in-space cryogenic propellant storage tank spray chilldown system.

The behavior of rewetting on a high superheated and dry surface, focusing on rewetting temperature just as collapse of saturated and subcooled film boiling was investigated experimentally and analytically. Saturated and subcooled pool film-boiling experiments were conducted by using a Silicon wafer with 20 mm length, 20 mm width and 0.5 mm thickness and pure water at atmospheric condition. Saturated and subcooled impingement jet experiments were also preformed. Then, the model analysis of rewetting initiation of a hot dry surface in saturated and subcooled film boiling was constructed by using hydrodynamics instability on liquid-vapor interface (Rayleigh-Taylor instability) and a heat conduction model (rewetting model under a falling film). Some physical parameters on Rayleigh-Taylor instability, for example released period of bubble from vapor film on a heater, generated volume rate of vapor and so on, were estimated by using Two-Phase Boundary Layer theory of saturated and subcooled film boiling. The present analytical results also showed that as the liquid subcooling was high, MHF temperature was higher. Namely, the predictions agreed with the present experimental results and Dhir-Purohit’s correlation. In addition, the present model of MHF temperature was developed by taking into account the dependence on thermal conductivity of wall of the MHF-temperature.

The behavior of rewetting on high superheated surface, focusing on rewetting temperature during collapse of saturated and subcooled film boiling was investigated experimentally and analytically. Saturated and subcooled film-boiling experiments were conducted by using a Silicon wafer with 20 mm length, 20 mm width and 0.5 mm thickness and pure water at atmospheric condition. Both pool boiling and impingement jet experiments were preformed in the present study. Then, the present experimental results were examined by using hydrodynamics instability on liquid-vapor interface (Rayleigth-Tayor instability) and a heat conduction model (rewetting model under a falling-flow of a liquid layer).
