纳米通道内液态微流动密度分布特性数值模拟研究

微通道内流动因表面积/体积比值极大, 造成许多微尺度效应, 进而使微通道内出现完全不同于宏观流动的流体密度分布特性. 本文以纳米通道内液态Poiseuille流为对象, 采用非平衡分子动力学模拟方法研究了流体原子间相互作用强度ε_LL, 流体原子间平衡距离σ_LL以及壁面原子与流体原子间平衡距离σ_LS对通道内流体密度分布的影响规律. 数值模拟中, 统计系综取微正则系综, 势能函数选用LJ/126模型, 壁面设为Rigid-atom壁面, 温度校正使用速度定标法, 牛顿运动方程的求解则采用Verlet算法. 模拟结果表明, 随ε_LL的减弱, 近壁面区密度分布的振荡幅度则逐渐增大; 而σ_LL 则同时影响流体原子的存在形态和密度分布, 较大的σ_LL 会造成流体原子在整个通道内呈现面心立方结构的类似固体排列, 较小的σ_LL会使得流体原子呈现不断变化的 "团簇" 结构; 随σ_LS的变大, 近壁面区流体密度振荡幅度增大, 且流体密度分布起点离壁面越远. 另外, 本文还从近壁面区流体原子的 "俘获-逃逸" 行为角度, 初步解释了原子间相互作用强度对密度分布的影响规律. 关键词： 纳米通道 微流动 密度分布 分子动力学     

疏水微通道内流动冷凝流型实验研究

实验观测了水力直径为150μm,宽深比3,通道壁面水接触角为130°的疏水矩形微通道内的流动冷凝过程。发现疏水微通道内的流型主要有珠状流、珠状-环状复合流、珠状-喷射复合流和弹状-泡状流。由于壁面的疏水性,喷射流处仍能观察到珠状凝结。珠状-喷射复合流的位置随入口蒸汽Reynolds数的增大而向通道出口移动,喷射频率随Re_v增大而增大。珠状-喷射复合流之后为弹状-泡状流,喷射流产生汽泡会冲击前一汽泡并合并流向通道出口。

Influence of Fluid Flow Distribution in Micro-Channel Arrays to Phase Transition Processes

Microstructured heat exchangers are well suited for such phase transition processes as evaporation of liquids due to their heat transfer capabilities, being two to three orders of magnitude higher than those of conventional heat transfer devices. Controlling liquid evaporation inside micro-channels to provide full evaporation in a stable way is not trivial. In most cases, such instabilities as slug flow, bubbly flow, or vapor clogging occur, based on cross-talk possibilities between the individual micro-channels of a channel array, normally caused by open void inlet structures. Therefore, fluid inlet distribution is inhomogeneous, which results, in the best case, in a parabolic shape of a stable evaporation frontline. The parabolic shape occurs due to the residence time distribution of the fluid, generated by shorter path length in the array center and longer ones in the outer areas of the micro-channel array. Computational fluid dynamics simulation approves this result. Such a frontline can be kept stable when the process parameters are well controlled. Small deviations of the inlet parameters may lead to strong disturbances of the evaporation process, destabilizing it. When changing the inlet fluid distribution system to provide the most equal flow distribution possible, the span of the parabolic shape of the evaporation frontline can be reduced drastically. Finally, a stable evaporation frontline perpendicular to flow direction can be obtained. This status is no longer very sensitive to process deviations.

This article presents an optimized micro-channel device for the optical investigation of phase transition phenomena. The device allows the exchange of integrated micro-channel arrays to investigate different designs for their suitability. It is separated into three independent sections, which can be heated or cooled individually. Therefore, very strict and rapid temperature jumps can be obtained within relatively short distances. The micro-channel array foils used for the experiments have been manufactured by mechanical micro-machining. Thus, the cross-sections of the micro-channels are always rectangular. Hydraulic diameter and length of the micro-channels, as well as the shape of the inlet and outlet voids, can be varied. Using a simple triangular or rectangular open inlet void, a stable evaporation line was generated, showing a parabolic shape. Depending on the mass flow and the size and shape of the inlet void, the span of the parabolic arc was influenceable.     

Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer in Two-phase Flow Boiling

In this article, an experimental investigation is performed to measure the boiling heat transfer coefficient of water flow in a microchannel with a hydraulic diameter of 500 μm. Experimental tests are conducted with heat fluxes ranging from 100 to 400 kW/m², vapor quality from 0 to 0.2, and mass fluxes of 200, 400, and 600 kg/m²s. Also, this study has modified the liquid Froude number to present a flow pattern transition toward an annular flow. Experimental results show that the flow boiling heat transfer coefficient is not dependent on mass flux and vapor quality but on heat flux to a certain degree. The measured heat transfer coefficient is compared with a few available correlations proposed for macroscales, and it is found that previous correlations have overestimated the flow boiling heat transfer coefficient for the test conditions considered in this work. This article proposes a new correlation model regarding the boiling heat transfer coefficient in mini- and microchannels using boiling number, Reynolds number, and modified Froude number.

Modeling of vapor condensation in a longitudinally finned minichannel

Heat transfer with vapor condensation inside a longitudinally finned tube is numerically studied. The proposed model considers vapor condensation on two initial flow areas, namely, annular and rivulet. The model allows prediction of pressure difference along the tube length, vapor velocity profiles in the central channel and an interfin groove, and also a velocity profile in the condensate rivulet at the bottom of the interfin channel, local heat transfer coefficients at different fin points, and average heat transfer coefficients over tube section and length. The calculations showed that in the case of vapor condensation in longitudinally finned tubes of a small diameter it is of fundamental importance to divide the flow tube section into a central channel and interfin channels. The governing vapor velocities in these channels may differ by more than an order of magnitude. The reduced vapor velocity, used in engineering calculations, does not reflect the character of dynamic vapor impact on a condensate film on the most part of the heat transfer surface. For tubes with relatively large fins the proposed model describes vapor condensation almost completely,meanwhile, the mass vapor quality by the time of filling of the grooves reaches 0.01–0.05. The highest heat transfer intensification was obtained for “sharp fins” with a high value of the fin head curvature. Comparison of results of calculation by the model with results of the known experiments on water vapor condensation yields a good qualitative and quantitative agreement for low vapor velocities at the channel inlet (under 30 m/s). The wall thermal conductivity coefficient value affects significantly the condensation efficiency.
