Bunwut is investigated in tubes under nonuniform heating on the perimeter. Data on heat trrmsfer and crilical heat flux ('IchtJ in the case of water were obWilled for ranges of mass ve/Dcily pw -200-3000 kglm 2 s, pressure p -0.1-1 MPa, and inlet water temperature T -2S-9SoC. The test section was a horivmtal copper tube of 21 mm outer diameter, S mm inner diameter with a technwally smooth surface and heat transfer-intensifying twisted tape and porous sintered coating. The test section was hented by bombardment with electrons. It is es/abUshed that a redistribution of heat fluxes and an increase of wall temperature fluctuations occur at burnout. The range of regime parameters to prevent burnout of a heat transfer surface is detennined.
Reliable heat exchangers capable of transferring heat at low driving temperature differences are key to energy efficient processes. In this paper, heat transfer and fluid dynamics of hydrophobic nanoparticle (HBNP) coated tubes are investigated in a steam-heated single-tube thermosiphon reboiler and compared to experimental results of standard stainless steel tubes. In comparison to the bare tube, the coated tube showed higher heat transfer and circulation rates as well as an improved stability of the circulating flow. The stability of the coating was verified in a long-term stability test.
Subcooled flow boiling has been investigated for horizontal mini and micro channels of which hydraulic diameters are 1mm and 150μm, respectively for high heat flux cooling in electronics. The heating surface is 1mm in width and 10mm in length for the mini channel. Eleven micro grooving are made on the copper heating block of 5.25mm×5.25mm. Aqueous solutions of ethanol, 10% and 50% in mass concentration, are used as boiling liquid for the micro channel. Microbubble emission boiling (MEB) of water is generated at liquid subcooling of 40K in the mini channel as same cases of conventional macro channels and the maximum heat flux obtained is a 10MW/m2 at liquid velocity of 1m/s (1000kg/m2s). However, the boiling turns to film boiling at low liquid velocity, 0.3m/s (300kg/m2s) for an example. In subcooled boiling of aqueous solutions, the heat flux becomes small for the lower ethanol concentration. The critical heat fluxes are well agreed with the existing theories and the maximum heat fluxes are higher than CHF. However, no micro bubble emission boiling is observed in subcooled flow boiling of mini channels and the CHF is considerably smaller than the existing theories. It is difficult to generate MEB for micro channels with heating surface of large thermal capacity because the coalescing bubbles formed on the heating surface are filled up in the channel and the liquid vapor exchange is disturbed.
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.
