Cellular flow in a rotating heat pipe with stepped wall

A laminar secondary flow pattern (cellular flow or hygrocysts) develops in a co-axial rotating heat pipe with a stepped condenser section. This flow pattern has heat transfer characteristics of its own. The interaction of the cellular flow in the evaporator and the annular flow in the condenser will strongly influence the heat transfer.Visualization experiments are conducted using a glass rotating heat pipe with stepped wall and systematic experiments are performed using a metallic heat pipe.

Experimental Investigation of Taylor and Intermittent Slug-annular/Annular Flow in Microchannels

High-speed visualization of adiabatic flow and heat transfer rate determination for constant wall heat flux conditions were performed to study the flow and heat transfer behavior of non-boiling, gas–liquid two-phase vertical upward flow in a 2.00 mm-diameter tube. Liquids of different volatilities, including water, ethylene glycol, and hexadecane, were employed to investigate the roles of convective heat transfer and evaporation for a wide range of flow conditions encompassing Taylor, slug-annular, and annular flow regimes. The heat transfer rate is found to depend strongly on the flow regime. Significant evaporative cooling was observed for the volatile system at high gas flow rates. A heat transfer enhancement up to fivefold over that for the liquid-only flow was observed in the annular flow regime.     

Flow boiling heat transfer enhancement under ultrasound field in minichannel heat sinks

The enhancement of the heat transfer assisted by ultrasound is considered to be an interesting and highly efficient cooling technology, but the investigation and application of ultrasound in minichannel heat sinks to strengthen the flow boiling heat transfer are very limited. Herein, a novel installation of ultrasound transducers in the flow direction of a minichannel heat sink is designed to experimentally study the characteristics of heat transfer in flow boiling and the influence of operation parameters (e.g., heat flux, mass flux rate) and ultrasound parameters (e.g., frequency, power) on the flow boiling heat transfer in a minichannel heat sink with and without ultrasound field. Bubble motion and flow pattern in the minichannel are analyzed by high-speed flow visualization, revealing that the ultrasound field induces more bubbles at the same observation position and a forward shift of the onset of nucleation boiling along the flow direction, as ultrasonic cavitation produces a large number of bubbles. Moreover, bubbles hitting the channel wall on the left and right sides are found, and the motion speed of the bubbles is increased by 31.9% under the ultrasound field. Our results demonstrate that the heat transfer coefficient obtained under the ultrasound field is 53.9% higher than in the absence of the ultrasound field under the same conditions, and the enhancement ratio is decreased in the high heat flux region due to the change of the flow regime with increasing heat flux. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of an ultrasound field in minichannel heat sinks for the enhancement of flow boiling heat transfer.     

R32/R134a在微通道内流动沸腾特性

研究非共沸混合工质R32/R134a(质量比,25%/75%)在水平微尺度通道内流动沸腾换热规律。在各种工况下进行了非共沸混合工质R32/R134a在水平微尺度管道内流动沸腾换热的实验,考察了质量流量G、热流密度q、质量干度x对微尺度通道内流动沸腾换热系数的影响。研究表明:在热流密度、质量流量都较低的区域,对细管道,换热系数与热流密度的关联度较大;而对微管道,换热系数受影响的因素比较多,并在干度为0.6时出现"干涸"现象,使得换热系数急剧下降。在质量流量高的区域,对细管道,热流密度对换热系数的影响很小;而对微尺度管道,当干度为0.06时换热系数发生转变,随质量干度的增加先减小后增大,热流密度增大到一定的阶段后,换热系数不再随热流密度变化。     

Internal Flow Patterns on Heat Transfer Performance of a Closed-Loop Oscillating Heat Pipe with Check Valves

This article presents the experimental results of an evaluation of the influence of internal flow patterns on the heat transfer performance of a closed-loop oscillating heat pipe with check valves. It was found that the internal flow patterns could be classified according to four flow patterns: dispersed bubble flow, bubble flow, slug flow, and annular flow, respectively. The main regime of each flow pattern can be determined from a flow pattern map. The map can be used to predict the trend of the heat transfer rate in the closed-loop oscillating heat pipe with check valves.

Heat conduction through narrow channels and phase separation of He II at zero gravity

We explain the heat flow properties of a system which works as a phase separator for superfluid helium at zero gravity. Differently from most previous work the flow of He II in a narrow slit between a helium bath and a vapour space (instead of a second He bath) is studied. Due to the Fountain effect most of the He II stays contained in the bath, and a small amount is evaporated to carry away the heat transported through the slit. The role of evaporation kinetics is discussed and its contribution, raising the heat flow resistance, is calculated. At higher heat flow there is a sharp transition to a different flow state, which we identify with the Gorter-Mellink regime where the supercomponent flows dissipatively and liquid enters into the vent line so that an additional heat exchanger is necessary for its evaporation. In this regime the mass and heat flow are still controlled by the applied pressure gradients or-important for practical use:-by varying the length of the slit.     

Observation of thermal electromotive force oscillations versus magnetic vector potential field in superconducting loop with two Josephson SNS junctions

Superconducting loop with two Josephson SNS junction was investigated. The junctions were biased by a heat flow. A voltage across the junctions was observed when the heat flow exceeded the critical value. This critical heat flow was a periodical function of magnetic flux in the loop. The period and the magnitude of modulation of this curve coincide with the parameters of the dependence of critical current through the same sample upon the magnetic flux in the absence of the heat flow.     

Heat transfer from a cylinder in pulsating cross-flow

The paper presents results on heat transfer from a cylinder in pulsating flow. The results are local heat transfer distributions that match four different flow modes identified previously by the authors. A new kind of dimensionless number was introduced for pulsating flows: this is a ratio of flow acceleration during unsteady movement to the centrifugal acceleration due to streamlines bending over the cylinder. The experimental data were generalized as a dependency of the average heat transfer on the new dimensionless criterion. The generalization offered a correction factor to a traditional relation for heat transfer between a cylinder and air flow past the cylinder; this correction takes into account the effect of parameters of forced flow pulsations on the average heat transfer.
