Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer methods for microgravity environments. The applications of the work are thermal management, propulsion, and fluid storage and transfer systems for spacecraft. In the near future, these systems will include two-phase, vapor-liquid flows. This Design Manual is intended for use by designers of these systems. Design methods are presented for predicting two-phase flow regimes and pressure drops in pipe flows from earth gravity to microgravity conditions. Forced convection boiling heat transfer methods for pipes with uniform heat flux are included. Also included are methods for analyzing high-vapor-shear condensation in pipes. The analysis methods are mechanistic; that is, based upon fundamental physical principles which should apply to heat transfer liquids with Pr approx = 1 and scale with pipe size and fluid properties. This Manual incorporates simplified methods (easy-to-use design charts), detailed descriptions of the analysis methods, comparisons with existing microgravity data, and recommended approaches to quantify the range of uncertainty in design calculations. Keywords: Fluid flow; Heat transfer; Space technology; Spacecraft components; Thermodynamics; Two phase flow. (jhd).

This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report contains two independent sections. Part one is titled Terrestrial and Microgravity Pool Boiling Heat Transfer and Critical heat flux phenomenon in an acoustic standing wave. Terrestrial and microgravity pool boiling heat transfer experiments were performed in the presence of a standing acoustic wave from a platinum wire resistance heater using degassed FC-72 Fluorinert liquid. The sound wave was created by driving a half wavelength resonator at a frequency of 10.15 kHz. Microgravity conditions were created using the 2.1 second drop tower on the campus of Washington State University. Burnout of the heater wire, often encountered with heat flux controlled systems, was avoided by using a constant temperature controller to regulate the heater wire temperature. The amplitude of the acoustic standing wave was increased from 28 kPa to over 70 kPa and these pressure measurements were made using a hydrophone fabricated with a small piezoelectric ceramic. Cavitation incurred during experiments at higher acoustic amplitudes contributed to the vapor bubble dynamics and heat transfer. The heater wire was positioned at three different locations within the acoustic field: the acoustic node, antinode, and halfway between these locations. Complete boiling curves are presented to show how the applied acoustic field enhanced boiling heat transfer and increased critical heat flux in microgravity and terrestrial environments. Video images provide information on the interaction between the vapor bubbles and the acoustic field. Part two is titled, Design and qualification of a microscale heater array for use in boiling heat transfer. This part is summarized herein. Boiling heat transfer is an efficient means of heat transfer because a large amount of heat can be removed from a surface using a relatively small temperature difference between the surface and the bulk liquid. However, the mechanisms that govern boiling heat transfer are not well understood. Measurements of wall te...

This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-phase flow with a free surface, non-isothermal boundary conditions and heat and mass transfer over the free surface must be understood for a save operation of cryogenic upper stages with restart capability. This work is a foundational research carried out with numerical and experimental means. A mathematical and numerical model were developed that allow to describe such systems under varying gravity levels. The reorientation of cryogenic parahydrogen upon a sudden gravity step reduction was investigated experimentally using the drop tower at ZARM, University of Bremen. Influencing the motion and final shape of the free surface could be realized with a precisely defined wall temperature gradient. Heat and mass transfer over the free surface in a microgravity environment could be investigated numerically based on the experimental results of the SOURCE-II sounding rocket experiment. A transient simulation was carried out to study the coupled system between superheated container wall, subcooled liquid, free surface configuration and three-phase contact angle.

This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to predict gas-liquid flow patterns is crucial to the design and operation of two-phase flow systems in the microgravity environment. Flow pattern maps have been developed in this study which show the occurrence of flow patterns as a function of gas and liquid superficial velocities as well as tube diameter, liquid viscosity and surface tension. The results have demonstrated that the location of the bubble-slug transition is affected by the tube diameter for air-water systems and by surface tension, suggesting that turbulence-induced bubble fluctuations and coalescence mechanisms play a role in this transition. The location of the slug-annular transition on the flow pattern maps is largely unaffected by tube diameter, liquid viscosity or surface tension in the ranges tested. Void fraction-based transition criteria were developed which separate the flow patterns on the flow pattern maps with reasonable accuracy. Weber number transition criteria also show promise but further work is needed to improve these models. For annular gas-liquid flows of air-water and air- 50 percent glycerine under reduced gravity conditions, the pressure gradient agrees fairly well with a version of the Lockhart-Martinelli correlation but the measured film thickness deviates from published correlations at lower Reynolds numbers. Nusselt numbers, based on a film thickness obtained from standard normal-gravity correlations, follow the relation, Nu = A Re(sup n) Pr(exp l/3), but more experimental data in a reduced gravity environment are needed to increase the confidence in the estimated constants, A and n. In the slug flow regime, experimental pressure gradient does not correlate well with either the Lockhart-Martinelli or a homogeneous formulation, but does correlate nicely with a formulation based on a two-phase Reynolds number. Comparison with ground-based correlations implies that the heat transfer coefficients are lower at reduced gravity than at normal gravity under the same ...

Download or read book Analytical and Experimental Study of Annular Two phase Flow Friction Pressure Drop Under Microgravity written by Ngoc Thanh Nguyen and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two-phase liquid-gas flow has a wide variety of applications in space, including active thermal control systems, high-power communications satellites, heat pumps and space nuclear reactors. Two-phase systems have many potential advantages over current single-phase systems due to reductions in system size, weight and power consumption. The mechanisms of pressure drop, heat transfer coefficients, void fractions, and flow regimes must be well understood under microgravity conditions in order to design reliable two-phase systems. The main objective of this present research is to develop a new mathematical model that can accurately predict the annular two-phase friction pressure drop to optimize the design of two-phase systems. The two-phase flow tests were conducted aboard the NASA KC-135 aircraft by the Interphase Transport Phenomena (ITP) group from Texas A & M University. The two-phase flow pressure drops were measured across a single transparent test section 12.7 mm ID and 1.63 m long in annular regimes under microgravity conditions during two flight campaigns. Different from previous work, this was the first time both the void fraction and the film thickness were measured under microgravity conditions. The empirical correlations for the interfacial friction factor and void fraction were developed from 57 experimental data using a linear least squares regression technique. The annular two-phase friction pressure drop can be predicted by the new mathematical model requiring only knowledge of the length and diameter of the tube, liquid and vapor mass flow rates, and properties of the working fluid. In addition, the new mathematical model was validated using Foster-Miller & ITP data collected over twelve flights aboard the KC-135 with working fluid R-12 (77 data points), Sundstrand data collected aboard the KC-135 with working fluid R-114 (43 data points) and Zhao and Rezkallah data aboard the KC-135 with working fluid water and air (43 data points). Compared with the LockhartMartinelli model, Wheeler model, Chen model and homogeneous model, the new mathematical model is the optimal model for predicting the two-phase friction pressure drop in annular regimes. The majority of the data falls within +-20% of the proposed correlation and the average error is 12%.
