实验研究了制冷剂-润滑油混合流体在内嵌泡沫金属圆管内流动沸腾的换热特性。泡沫金属为10ppi、90%孔隙率;制冷剂为R410A,润滑油为VG68,油浓度为0～5%。实验结果表明:纯制冷剂工况下,泡沫金属强化流动沸腾换热系数,换热系数提高30%～120%;含油工况下,泡沫金属只强化流动沸腾换热系数20%以下,在低质流密度或者高质流密度的高干度情况下出现恶化换热的情况。润滑油总是恶化制冷剂在内嵌泡沫金属圆管内流动沸腾的换热系数,换热系数最多恶化71%,且在低质流密度下对换热的恶化比在高质流密度工况下严重。     

竖直直管和螺旋管内超临界CO2换热特性对比研究

采用SST k-ω湍流模型对比研究了在q=20.5~40 kW.m^-2,G=205.92~262.51 kg·m^-2·s^-1,p=8~10 MPa边界条件下超临界CO2在加热竖直直管和螺旋管内的换热差异。结果表明,在相同工况下,由于离心力引起的二次流的作用使得螺旋管相比于直管对换热有一定的强化作用,并能有效地抑制换热恶化的发生。但在拟临界点区域螺旋管的换热系数反而低于直管,主要原因是在拟临界点附近物性对换热起主导作用,离心力对管外侧的强化作用有限,而由于离心力和浮升力的弱化作用使内侧会出现显著的局部换热恶化(湍动能被抑制),从而使得截面上平均换热系数低于直管。     

水蒸气在竖直微细管外凝结传热特性研究

针对不同压力和不同流速下的饱和水蒸气在竖直微细圆管(内外径分别为0.571 mm和0.793 mm)外的凝结传热特性分别进行了实验研究,分析了蒸气压力和蒸气流速对凝结传热特性的影响。实验结果表明,凝结传热表面传热系数随着蒸气流速的增加而增加,在较高的蒸气压力下增加的更明显,且大于相同实验条件下的Nusselt理论分析解。在蒸气流速为2 m·s~(-1)时,凝结传热系数随压力的变化不大;在4 m·s~(-1)和6 m·s~(-1)时,随着蒸气压力的升高,凝结表面传热系数明显增大。

Heat Transfer in a Tube Fitted with Vertical and Horizontal Wing-Cut Twisted Tapes

This article reports an experimental investigation on the heat transfer, friction factor, and thermal enhancement factor of a tube equipped with vertical wing-cut twisted tapes, horizontal wing-cut twisted tapes, and plain twisted tapes with twist ratios of y = 2.0, 4.4, and 6.0. The obtained results reveal that the heat transfer rate, friction factor, and thermal enhancement factor in the tube equipped with horizontal wing-cut twisted tapes are significantly higher than those in the tube fitted with vertical wing-cut twisted tapes, plain twisted tapes, and a plain tube. An empirical correlation is subsequently derived from the experimental results.     

Subcooled Flow Boiling Heat Transfer to Water and Ethylene Glycol/Water Mixtures in a Bottom-heated Tube

Subcooled flow boiling heat transfer experiments were performed with water and ethylene glycol/water mixtures at five flow velocities and four fluid inlet temperatures. Both turbulent flow and laminar flow were tested in a special test facility with its experimental test section heated from the bottom surface only. Boiling curves and subcooled flow boiling heat transfer coefficients of the tested fluids were determined from the experimental measurements. Predictive correlations of the subcooled flow boiling heat transfer coefficients were developed based on the experimental data. Comparisons are presented of wall temperatures between the experimental measurements and the correlation predictions.     

Air Flow in Aluminum Foam: Heat Transfer and Pressure Drops Measurements

Abstract

Metal foams are cellular structure materials that present open cells, randomly oriented and mostly homogeneous in size and shape. Cellular structure materials, and particularly open-cell metal foams, have been proposed as possible substitutes for traditional finned surfaces in electronics cooling applications. This article presents the heat transfer and pressure drops measurements obtained during air flow through an aluminum foam, which has 40 pores per inch with 0.63 mm pore diameter. The specimen has been inserted in a new open-circuit type wind channel with a rectangular cross-section that has recently been built at the Department of Fisica Tecnica of the University of Padova. The experimental heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops have been collected by varying the air flow rate supplied by the screw compressor that provides a variable volumetric air flow ranging between 0–90 m³h^?1 at a constant gauge pressure of 7 bar. The specific heat flux has been simulated by powering with a 25-kWm^?2 copper heater attached at the bottom of the aluminum foam base plate. The experimental results are reported in terms of heat transfer coefficients, mean normalized wall temperatures, and pressure drops.

工业烟气含尘的特点易导致换热器积灰,进而制约烟气余热的高效回收。本文针对一种具有超大拓展表面的三维微肋管换热器的对流换热与积灰特性进行了研究。首先,对比研究了光管与三维微肋管的对流换热特性;接着,基于所建立的积灰数值模型,探究了三维微肋管的积灰特性,并揭示了烟气流速与飞灰粒径对其积灰特性的影响规律。结果表明,相对于传统光管,三维微肋管的换热面积可增大约2.9倍;换热性能平均能提高16%;积灰后渐进污垢热阻最大能减小70%;同时,清灰周期更长,运行经济性更佳。综合而言,三维微肋管相比传统光管,在增强换热的同时,还能有效减轻积灰,因此可作为高效的抗积灰传热元件,应用于含尘烟气的余热回收场合。     

Heat Transfer of Dilute Polyacrylamide Solutions in Flattened Tube Exchangers

Heat transfer studies of dilute viscoelastic liquids in four flattened tubes with 0.635 cm original diameter, about 173 cm long, and with aspect ratios ranging from 1.4 to 5.7 were conducted. Hot water was used as the heating medium, and dilute solutions of polyacrylamide in water and in water mixtures were used as the viscoelastic solutions. Flattening the tubes could increase heat transfer by 101%, while secondary flow could further increase heat transfer coefficient by 75% at an aspect ratio of 1.6. Greater polyacrylamide concentrations increased heat transfer performance marginally. Viscosity does not influence the formation of secondary flow.     

Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in Micro-Channel Heat Sinks under Sub-Atmospheric Pressures

A closed-loop two-phase mini-channel-based heat sink driven by a micro-gear pump was developed in this work. Using water as an example, experiments were performed in two micro-channel heat sinks under the conditions of initial pressure of P_in = 34–113 kPa, mass velocity of G = 19–468 kg/m₂s, outlet quality of x_e,out = ?14–66%, and heat flux of q″ = 0–230 W/cm², which covered single-phase flow, subcooled flow boiling, and saturated flow boiling regions. The results showed distinctive differences between the subcooled and saturated boiling regime and revealed that the influence of the system pressure. The experimental data were also compared to a boiling mechanism demarcation map and assessed against some empirical correlations, which suggests some uniqueness of the current heat sink associated with flow boiling at the mesoscale.

Heat Transfer Characteristics for Condensation of R134a in a Vertical Smooth Tube

In this study, condensation of pure refrigerant R134a vapor inside a smooth vertical tube was experimentally investigated. The test section was made of a copper tube with inside diameter of 7.52 mm and length of 1 m. Experimental tests were conducted for mass fluxes in the range of 20–175 kg/m²s with saturation pressure ranging between 5.8 and 7 bar. The effects of mass flux, saturation pressure, and temperature difference between the refrigerant and tube inner wall (ΔT) on the heat transfer performance were analyzed through experimental data. Obtained results showed that average condensation heat transfer coefficient decreases with increasing saturation pressure or temperature difference (ΔT). In addition, for the same temperature difference (ΔT), heat can be removed from the refrigerant at a higher rate at relatively low pressure values. Under the same operating conditions, it was shown that average condensation heat transfer coefficient increases as mass flux increases. Finally, the most widely used heat transfer coefficient correlations for condensation inside smooth tubes were analyzed through the experimental data. The best fit was obtained with Akers et al.'s (1959) correlation with an absolute mean deviation of 22.6%.     

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.     

Experimental Investigation on Pressure Drop and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Copper Metal Foam Heat Sink

Abstract

The effect of the cooling performance of a copper metal foam heat sink under buoyancy-induced convection is investigated in this work. Experiments are conducted on copper metal foam of 61.3% porosity with 20 pores per inch. The pressure drop experiment is carried out to find the permeability and foam coefficient of the porous media. It is found that the property of porous media changes by changing the angle of inclination of the porous media from a horizontal to a vertical position while keeping the orientation and porosity the same. The Hazen-Dupuit Darcy model is used to curve-fit the longitudinal global pressure drop versus the average fluid speed data from an isothermal steady-flow experiment across the test section of the porous medium. The study concludes that the permeability and foam coefficient for copper foam is found to be 1.11 × 10^?7 m² and 79.9 m^?1, respectively. The heat transfer study shows that the thermal performance of copper metal foam is 35–40% higher than the conventional aluminum metal heat sink under an actual conventional mode.
