Abstract: | Experiments of flow boiling heat transfer and two-phase flow frictional pressure drop in a spirally internally ribbed tube
(φ22×5.5 mm) and a smooth tube (φ19×2 mm) were conducted, respectively, under the condition of 6×105 Pa (absolute atmosphere pressure). The available heated length of the test sections was 2500 mm. The mass fluxes were selected,
respectively, at 410, 610 and 810 kg/m2 s. The maximum heat flux was controlled according to exit quality, which was no more than 0.3 in each test run. The experimental
results in the spirally internally ribbed tube were compared with that in the smooth tube. It shows that flow boiling heat
transfer coefficients in the spirally internally ribbed tube are 1.4–2 times that in the smooth tube, and the flow boiling
heat transfer under the condition of smaller temperature differences can be achieved in the spirally internally ribbed tube.
Also, the two-phase flow frictional pressure drop in the spirally internally ribbed tube increases a factor of 1.6–2 as compared
with that in the smooth tube. The effects of mass flux and pressure on the flow boiling heat transfer were presented. The
effect of diameters on flow boiling heat transfer in smooth tubes was analyzed. Based on the fits of the experimental data,
correlations of flow boiling heat transfer coefficient and two-phase flow frictional factor were proposed, respectively. The
mechanisms of enhanced flow boiling heat transfer in the spirally internally ribbed tube were analyzed.
