Dynamics of explosive boiling and third heat transfer crisis at subcooling on a vertical surface

Results of experimental studies on dynamics of explosive boiling and third heat transfer crisis under the conditions of liquid subcooling are presented for the vertical arrangement of the heat-transfer surface. Acetone was used in experiments at the pressure in the working volume from 20 to 46 kPa and subcooling from 0 to 20 K. The studied processes were recorded. Data on the velocity of evaporation front propagation at liquid subcooling were obtained. These data are compared with the results of calculations according to the models available in the literature. The effect of liquid subcooling on the regions of regime parameters corresponding to explosive boiling and third heat transfer crisis is studied.     

Investigation of the third heat transfer crisis on a vertical surface

The process of development of the third heat transfer crisis for vertical orientation of the heating surface was studied experimentally. Experiments were carried out with acetone under the conditions of saturation for the pressures in the working volume from 20 to 28 kPa. In all experiments, the third heat transfer crisis was preceded by propagation of evaporation front along the heating surface. The threshold values of heat flux densities, above which a stable vapor film is formed on the whole heating surface, are lower for vertical orientation of this heating surface than for the horizontal one. Data on the threshold heat flux densities and overheating before boiling-up were obtained. Above these values, formation of evaporation fronts was observed. The range of operation parameters corresponding to formation of the sites of unstable film boiling on the heating surface after boiling-up was determined.     

Investigation of transient processes at liquid boiling under nonstationary heat generation conditions

The paper presents results on experimentally investigated dynamics of boiling development and formation of film boiling zones under stepwise heat generation on a horizontally and vertically oriented cylindrical surface in a large volume of Freon-21. Experimental data on the expectation time and boiling temperature, the propagation velocity and structure of evaporation and boiling fronts for different heat flux density both in saturated liquid and in subcooling conditions are obtained. Results of experiments on investigating the nucleation forms under development of nonstationary heat release crisis caused by heat loading on the vertical heater immersed into the volume of liquid (water, ethanol) subcooled to saturation temperature are presented. A calculation ratio for determining the expectation time to the beginning of intense vaporization in water is proposed and compared with experimental data obtained on surfaces with different-size roughness. Peculiarities of evolution of evaporation fronts from incipient bubbles are investigated in the experiments with ethanol. Data on the evaporation front velocity as a function of wall overheating are obtained. The obtained experimental data on the propagation velocity of self-sustained evaporation fronts are compared with the known calculated data.     

Boiling crisis in droplets of ethanol water solution on the heating surface

Evaporation of droplets of ethanol water solution on a heated surface is studied experimentally at high heat fluxes. The behavior of water-alcohol mixtures was examined under the conditions of heat transfer crisis. Direct measurement of the current mass of evaporating droplets allows us to study the behavior of liquid batches in significantly nonstationary processes. An insignificant alcohol admixture to water increases significantly the transitional area of the crisis. The maximal length of transitional area corresponds to a mass concentration of alcohol of about 30%. For this concentration the heat transfer coefficient of the water-alcohol solution is maximal. It is shown that addition of highly volatile liquids to water allows efficient control of evaporation rate, which can be used for engineering processes.     

Experimental Study of the Influence of Structured Capillary-Porous Coatings on the Dynamics of Development of Transient Processes and the Crisis Phenomena at Stepwise Heat Release

The effect of structured plasma-sprayed capillary-porous coatings on transient processes and the development of crisis phenomena at boiling under pulsed heat release was studied. The working fluid was liquid nitrogen on the saturation line at atmospheric pressure. It is shown that under unsteady heat release, there is a degeneration of the development of the boiling crisis on heaters with structured capillary-porous coatings at q < q_CHF (critical heat flux at steady heat release). Under unsteady pulsed heat release, no rapid transition to the film boiling regime (without passing through the nucleate boiling stage) is observed on heaters with such coatings until the thermal load is more than two times higher than the critical heat flux for steady heat release. This significantly increases the times of transition to post-critical heat transfer. Analysis of synchronized measurements of surface temperature of heaters and high-speed video recording of transient processes shows that the degeneration of the heat transfer crisis at q < q_CHF on samples with coatings occurs due to significantly lower liquid boiling temperature differences and specific features of the dynamics of propagation of self-sustaining evaporation fronts in comparison with a smooth heater.     

Heat transfer and crisis phenomena with intense boiling in the falling wave liquid films

Experimental data on heat transfer with intense evaporation in the falling films of liquid nitrogen were analysed. According to data generalization, heat transfer at evaporation becomes more intense under the precrisis modes at high heat fluxes for two studied boundary conditions on the heat-releasing surface: T _w ≈ const and q _w ≈ const. The relative contributions of conductive and convective components of heat transfer for different heat fluxes were estimated due to statistical treatment of the wave characteristics carried out by the capacitance probes for measurement of the local liquid film thickness. It was found out that heat transfer intensification is mainly caused by a drastic decrease in thermal resistance of the local zones with intensely evaporating residual layer between large waves. At that, the convective component of heat transfer related to wave perturbations on a free surface of a liquid film decreases significantly with a rise of heat fluxes. New data on pulsations of the local temperature of the heat-releasing surface were obtained at different points along the flow with the modes of “dry spot” formation.

微液层模型预测过冷沸腾的临界热流密度

本文利用微液层模型对过冷沸腾的临界热流密度（CHF）进行了理论预测。过冷沸腾的强化换热主要是通过单个气泡的形成和消失造成的对流换热强化而引起的。对等热流面,CHF在高过冷区趋近于常数;对等温面,CHF随过冷度的增加而增加。过冷度增加时,蒸发换热量减少,总热流密度主要由蒸发区外的导热引起。

Experimental Study on Flow Boiling Pressure Drop and Flow Instabilities of Reentrant Micro-channels

Flow boiling pressure drop and flow instabilities of Ω-shaped reentrant copper micro-channels were experimentally explored. Tests were conducted in deionized water and ethanol at inlet subcoolings of 10°C and 40°C, mass fluxes of 125–300 kg/m²·s, and a wide range of heat fluxes and exit vapor qualities. The operational parameters effects, i.e., heat flux, mass flux, inlet subcooling, and coolants, on pressure drop and flow instabilities were systematically explored. The two-phase pressure drop of reentrant micro-channels were found to generally increase monotonically with increasing heat fluxes and exit vapor qualities. Nevertheless, the roles of mass flux and inlet subcooling were dependent on the test coolant.     

Pool boiling heat transfer and quench front velocity during quenching of a rodlet in subcooled water: Effects of the degree of subcooling

Pool boiling heat transfer and quench front propagation were investigated during quenching of cylindrical stainless steel rodlets in subcooled water. The degree of subcooling was varied from 0°C (saturated) to 40°C at an increment of 10°C at atmospheric pressure. The results showed that the increase of degree of subcooling accelerates quenching, with the total quenching time being shortened from 90 second (saturated) to 12 second (subcooled by 40°C). As revealed by the boiling curves that were obtained via solving an inverse heat conduction problem in cylindrical coordinates, boiling heat transfer is enhanced significantly for all boiling modes with raising the degree of subcooling. At the highest degree of subcooling of 40°C, the critical heat flux is improved by nearly 300% as compared to that in saturated water. In addition, the rewetting temperature (i.e., Leidenfrost point) was found to increase as a nearly linear function of the degree of subcooling. The quench front was observed to propagate upward from the bottom of the rodlet, which is accelerated noticeably with increasing the degree of subcooling. The average quench front velocity was shown to agree well with the predicted value of an existing theoretical model that was modified to take the influence of subcooling into consideration.

以蒸馏水为工质,在闭式循环喷雾冷却系统上,变化喷雾流量,研究了表面几何结构对喷雾传热性能的影响。从对流换热和相变换热比例关系的角度,对喷雾换热机理进行了实验研究。结果表明:与光滑表面相比,微结构表面可明显增强喷雾换热强度,这主要归因于相变换热的增强。表面温度较低时,直肋面换热效果最好 ;增大流量,光面换热增强,而直肋面变化不明显。表面温度较高时,方肋面换热效果最好;随着流量增大,所有面换热均增强。对于微结构表面,相变换热份额均大于50%,故而以相变换热为主;而光滑表面,即使在温度较低时,相变换热份额也大于20%。临界热流密度与三相接触线长度正相关,流量为15.9 mL/min时,方肋面、直肋面和光面的临界热流密度依次为159.1,120.2,109.8 W/cm2,蒸发效率分别为96.0%,72.5%,67.1%。     

Heat transfer in boiling of refrigerant R-21 in a downward flow in an assembly of minichannels

The paper presents the results of an experimental study of heat transfer in boiling of refrigerant R-21 in a downward flow in a vertical assembly of minichannels of a plate-fin heat exchanger. Characteristic regimes of vapor-liquid flow and heat transfer coefficients have been obtained for the case of plain fins in the ranges of low mass velocities and heat fluxes that are typical of the industry but poorly studied. The obtained data show no significant dependence of the heat transfer coefficient on the heat flux density and mass velocity, which may be explained by the decisive effect of the evaporation of thin liquid film on the heat transfer at low heat flux density.     

Boiling heat transfer of refrigerant R-21 in upward flow in plate-fin heat exchanger

The article presents the results of experimental investigation of boiling heat transfer of refrigerant R-21 in upward flow in a vertical plate-fin heat exchanger with transverse size of the channels that is smaller than the capillary constant. The heat transfer coefficients obtained in ranges of small mass velocities and low heat fluxes, which are typical of the industry, have been poorly studied yet. The characteristic patterns of the upward liquid-vapor flow in the heat exchanger channels and the regions of their existence are detected. The obtained data show a weak dependence of heat transfer coefficient on equilibrium vapor quality, mass flow rate, and heat flux density and do not correspond to calculations by the known heat transfer models. A possible reason for this behavior is a decisive influence of evaporation of thin liquid films on the heat transfer at low heat flux.

Propagation of a Self-Sustaining Evaporation Front in Freon Mixtures

Presented are results of studying the dynamics of evaporation front propagation in mixtures of R21/R114 freons with the concentration of volatile component R114 in the range of 0–0.22 under saturation, as well as at subcooling to 20 K. The dependence of the front velocity on the temperature difference with a stepwise heat release is obtained; spectral analysis of oscillation characteristics of the evaporation front interfacial boundary is performed. It is shown that the difference in the dynamics of the evaporation front in these experiments depends on the development of instability at the interfacial boundary of the front.

FLOW BOILING THROUGH V-SHAPE MICROCHANNELS

An experimental facility was set up to study the flow and boiling heat transfer characteristics of water and methanol flowing through V-shape microchannels. The microchannels have hydraulic diameters ranging from 0.2 to 0.6 mm and V-shape groove angles 0 of 30 to 60°. Both the heat transfer and the pressure drop were affected by the thermofluid and geometric parameters such as liquid flow velocity, subcooling, and the hydraulic diameter and groove angle of the microchannels. The experiments indicted that there exists both an optimum hydraulic diameter and an optimum groove angle. The visualization experiments showed that, if there was a good seal between the glass cover and the microchanneled test plate, no bubbles were observed in the microchannels for flow boiling with heat fluxes as high as of the order of 10⁶ W/m², at which fully nucleate boiling with a large number of bubbles would be expected in conventional situations. Fluctuating liquid flow was induced in the microchannels when many bubbles formed in the inlet plenum.

An experimental study of heat transfer was carried out in the hyper-vapotron loop-??(HVL-??) test facility. Phenomena of subcooling were observed using the techniques of planar laser induced fluorescent (PLIF), high speed photography, particle image velocimetry, etc. The flow and condition parameters were as follows: (1) CuCrZr alloy material, (2) triangle and rectangle fin structures, (3) inlet subcooling temperature of 296K, (4) Rhodamine solution flow velocity of 0.3~0.5m•s⁻¹. It was found that the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) of rectangle fin is 1.3??1.5 times higher than the triangle fin under the same tested conditions. Furthermore, the heat transfer efficiency is extraordinary dependent on the maintain time of vortex forming between the fins.
