Pool Boiling Heat Transfer

Saturated pool boiling heat transfer is investigated experimentally on a copper substrate with copper nanoparticle coatings at atmospheric pressure, in terms of critical heat flux (CHF) and heat transfer coefficient (HTC). Experiments are carried out on the substrate surface with a diameter of 12 mm using DI water as the working fluid. The coating is formed by stacking copper nanoparticles generated by an aerosol method. The aerosol nanoparticles are generated by a spark discharge generator with nitrogen gas as carrier gas and size-selected prior to electrostatic deposition. The thickness of the coating is quantified by the deposition time. In the present study, copper particles with diameter 35± 5 nm are selected, considering better coverage on the surface, while the deposition time is controlled as 4h and 8h, respectively. The boiling curves and heat transfer coefficient of MS-1 (4h deposition) and MS-2 (8h deposition) were compared with the BS (bare surface). The results show that CHFs of MS-1 and MS-2 are increased by 24% and 36%, respectively compared with the BS, while heat transfer is enhanced as well. High speed visualization tells that the coating provides more active nucleate sites and the hydrophobicity of the coating helps bubbles departure from the surface at low and moderate heat flux. At high heat flux, a hollow well occurs on MSs to supply liquid effectively to avoid dryout. Therefore, CHF and heat transfer are both improved.

Boiling Heat Transfer Coefficient

Pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of monoethylene glycol (MEG), diethylene glycol (DEG) and water ternary mixtures has been experimentally measured up to heat flux 114 kW/m2 at various volumetric concentrations of MEG and DEG. As expected, heat transfer coefficient was strongly taken as a direct function of heat flux. Existing well-known correlations are shown to be unable to predict the acceptable values for the tested ternary mixtures, particularly at different concentrations of MEG and DEG. Furthermore, a new modified correlation is developed on the basis of the Stephan - Preu?er correlation that predicts the values of heat transfer coefficients with absolute average error of about 7% that is reasonable and acceptable values in compare to other existing correlations.

Pool Boiling Heat Transfer

Experimental evidence available in the literature indicates that the pool boiling heat transfer with binary mixtures is lower than the respective mole- or mass-fraction-averaged value. Although a few investigators have presented analytical work to model this phenomenon, empirical methods and correlations are used extensively. In the present work, a theoretical analysis is presented to estimate the mixture effects on heat transfer. The ideal heat transfer coefficient used currently in the literature to represent the pool boiling heat transfer in the absence of mass diffusion effects is based on empirical considerations, and has no theoretical basis. In the present work, a new pseudo-single component heat transfer coefficient is introduced to account for the mixture property effects more accurately. The liquid composition and the interface temperature at the interface of a growing bubble are predicted analytically and their effect on the heat transfer is estimated. The present model is compared with the theoretical model of Calus and Leonidopoulos (1974), and two empirical models, Calus and Rice (1972) and Fujita et al. (1996). The present model is able to predict the heat transfer coefficients and their trends in azeotrope forming mixtures (benzene/methanol, R-23/R-13 and R-22/R-12) as well as mixtures with widely varying boiling points (water/ethylene glycol and methanol/water).

The objectives of this paper are to study the pool boiling heat transfer characteristics of twisted tubes in the flooded evaporator. The twisted tubes are processed from common circular evaporating tubes with an outer diameter of 15.88mm. The outer major axis diameter, minor axis diameter, wall thickness and length of the twisted tube are 19.50mm, 11.28mm, 1.09mm, and 3310mm, respectively. The outside tube pool boiling heat transfer coefficients, tube side Reynolds numbers, the wall superheat, the saturation temperature of refrigerant and the heat flux are considered as the key parameters. The results show that pool boiling heat transfer coefficient data increase with , and , respectively, and decrease as the wall superheat increases. It can be found in the case study that the overall heat transfer coefficient of twisted tube flooded evaporator (TFE) is about 1.15 times as high as the one of common flooded evaporator (FE) with a same heat capacity. It is proved that an application of the TFE in the water-cooled screw chiller can be feasible.

Flow Boiling Heat Transfer

Flow oscillation is a crucial issue for the development of flow boiling heat transfer in the applications. Inlet orifice has been proven be an option to eliminate the oscillation. However, the effects of inlet orifice on critical heat flux and flow boiling heat transfer coefficient are lack of study. In this work, the effects of inlet restriction on critical heat flux and heat transfer coefficient in single horizontal microtube under uniform heating condition is experimentally investigated using FC-72 as working fluid. A stainless steel microtube with an inner diameter of 889 μm is selected as main microtube. Two smaller microtubes are assembled at the inlet of main microtube to achieve the restriction configurations of 50% and 20% area ratios. The experimental measurement is carried out at mass fluxes ranging from 160–870 kg/m2·s and heat fluxes varying from 6–170 kW/m2. Two saturation pressures, 10 and 45 kPa, are tested. The experimental results of critical heat flux and two phase heat transfer coefficient obtained in the microtube without orifice are compared with the existing correlations. The addition of an orifice does not enhance the normal critical heat flux but increases the premature critical heat flux. In aspect of heat transfer, the orifice shows improvement on heat transfer coefficient at low mass flux and high saturation pressure.
