Introduction: The direct-contact condensation (DCC) of steam under water injection is the basic thermodynamic process of the bubble deaerator. In order to understand the complex coupling behavior of strong turbulence and fast phase-change heat transfer involved in the process.Methods: This study uses a visualized method and convective heat transfer model.Results: Since the contact area is affected by steam injection flow and sub-cooled degree is affected simultaneously, the trend of the condensation heat-transfer coefficient depends on the degree of their respective effects under each condition, and the maximum variation of the coefficient exceeds 104 W/m2.°C. Moreover, they still effect the period of steam plume, and the maximum variation of the period was beyond 80 ms.Discussion: Calculated the average condensation heat transfer coefficient and then produces the variation law of heat transfer coefficient under various conditions in one steam plume evolution period.
Introduction: Bubbling deaeration is widely applied in marine steam power system, and direct contact condensation (DCC) of steam injected into water under low sub-cooled water is the thermodynamic foundation of this technology. The deaeration process involves complex thermal and hydraulic behaviors, such as violent turbulence, interfacial mass transfer, and multiphase flow etc., which induce significant pressure fluctuation and radiated noise. In this paper, the two-phase flow regimes and acoustic characteristics of DCC of steam injected into water were studied for sub-cooled temperature ranging from 3℃ to 17℃.Methods: Using high-speed camera to capture the dynamic plume shape, four typical plumes are found: external chug with encapsulating bubble, oscillating bubble jet, conical and cylindrical jet and cap jet; The underwater acoustic signal is measured synchronously, and the acoustic spectrum is obtained by Fast Fourier transform (FFT).Results and Discussion: Combined with the plume image, the component sources of the acoustic signal are analyzed. It is found that the first dominant frequency and the second dominant frequency of the acoustic are caused by the evolution of the jet main steam zone and the downstream large steam column respectively; By analyzing the influence of injection parameters on acoustic signal, it is found that steam flow and sub-cooled temperatures have a great influence on acoustic root mean square value and spectrum characteristics. With the decrease of sub-cooled temperature, the main frequency of injection noise signal gradually moves to low frequency. Low frequency noise dominates the radiated noise when the flow field approaches the saturation temperature.
