Measurements have been made of heat transfer near atmospheric pressure in the post dryout region of air-water dispersed flow in an electrically heated 12.95 mm i.d. vertical stainless steel tube with a length of 889 mm. The mass velocity ranges from 30 to 83 kg/m2·s, and the average wall heat flux is varied from 6.4 to 36.2 kW/m2 in the experiments. Correlation of a theoretical analysis with the measured wall temperatures suggests that the effectiveness of wall-to-drop heat transfer depends mainly on the wall superheat for surface temperatures below the minimum film boiling temperature. The local two-phase heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing wall temperature. It is also found that the thermal entrance length for two-phase dispersed flow exceeds that of the single-phase gas flow, and that it decreases with an increase in wall temperature.
SUMMARYA bite difference solution for the transient non-linear heat conduction with phase change in a finite slab is proposed. A two-time level implicit method is used while Taylor's forward projection method is employed for taking into account the non-linearities. The stability due to the boundary conditions at the moving front is Verified. The numerical solution is compared with the analytical solutions and found to be in close agreement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
