This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subcooled flow boiling is generally characterized by high heat transfer capacity and low wall superheat, which is essential for cooling applications requiring high heat transfer rate, such as nuclear reactors and fossil boilers. In this study, subcooled flow boiling on copper and stainless steel heating surfaces was experimentally investigated from both macroscopic and microscopic points of view. Flow boiling heat flux and heat transfer coefficient were experimentally measured on both surfaces under different conditions, such as pressure, flow rate and inlet subcooling. Significant boiling heat transfer coefficient differences were found between the copper and the stainless steel heating surfaces. To explain the different flow boiling behaviors on these two heating surfaces, nucleation site density and bubble dynamics were visually observed and measured at different experimental conditions utilizing a high-speed digital video camera. These two parameters are believed to be keys in determining flow boiling heat flux. Wall superheat, critical cavity size and wall heat flux were used to correlate with nucleation site density data. Among them, wall heat flux shows the best correlation for eliminating both pressure and surface property effects. The observed nucleation site distribution shows a random distribution. When compared to the spatial Poisson distribution, similarity between them was found, while the measured nucleation site distribution is more uniform. From experimental observations, for the two surface materials investigated, which have similar surface wettability but sharply different thermal properties, bubble dynamics displayed fairly similar behavior. The obtained experimental results indicate that thermal conductivity of heating surface material plays an important role in boiling heat transfer. This is due to thermal conductivity having a significant impact on the lateral heat conduction at the heating surface and consequently temperature uniformity of the heating surface. A model was then developed and solved numerically for heat conduction at the heating surface when bubbles are present. Several key parameters which impact lateral heat conduction and surface temperature profile were studied. These parameters include material thermal conductivity, bubble size, heating surface thickness, etc. Numerical results show that, temperature profile on the heating surface tends to be more uniform and have a lower average value on a heating surface with higher thermal conductivity, which agrees well with the experimental observation.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding of subcooled flow boiling and the critical heat flux (CHF) is of the utmost importance for both safety and profitability of pressurized water nuclear reactors since they are major factors in the determination of the reactor power rating. Motivated by the emergence of a new wall boiling model by Gilman [3] and previous experimental insights from Phillips [12], a first-of-a-kind experimental investigation of pressurized steady-state subcooled flow boiling was conducted using state-ofthe- art diagnostics to gain a unique insight of the relevant mechanisms, including the partitioning of the wall heat flux. Conditions up to 10 bar pressure, 2000 kg/m2s mass flux and 20 K subcooling were explored. High-speed infrared thermometry tools were developed and used to measure the local time-dependent 2-D temperature and heat flux distributions on the boiling surface. These distributions were analyzed to determine fundamental boiling heat transfer parameters such as the nucleation site density, growth and wait times, nucleation frequency, departure diameter as well as the partitioning of the wall heat flux. While established mechanistic models can capture the trends of growth time and wait time with relatively good accuracy, this work reveals current models do not accurately predict the activation and interaction of nucleation sites on the boiling surface. This is a major roadblock, since boiling curves and CHF values obtained in nominally identical environments can be significantly different depending upon the nucleation site density which in turn is determined by the surface properties. The role of evaporation in the partitioning of the heat flux increases monotonically as the average heat flux increases, up to a maximum value of 70%, and is the dominant mechanism at high heat fluxes. At low and intermediate heat fluxes single-phase heat transfer is the dominant mechanism. Traditional heat partitioning models fail to capture these physics, but newer models with a comprehensive and physically consistent framework show promise in predicting the wall heat transfer. The data and understanding produced by this work will be essential for the development and validation of these modeling tools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: to increase the use of direct contact processes, the National Science Foundation sup ported a workshop on direct contact heat transfer at the Solar Energy Research Insti tute in the summer of 1985. We served as organizers for this workshop, which em phasized an area of thermal engineering that, in our opinion, has great promise for the future, but has not yet reached the point of wide-spread commercial application. Hence, a summary of the state of knowledge at this point is timely. The workshop had a dual objective: 1. To summarize the current state of knowledge in such a form that industrial practi tioners can make use of the available information. 2. To indicate the research and development needed to advance the state-of-the-art, indicating not only what kind of research is needed, but also the industrial poten tial that could be realized if the information to be obtained through the proposed research activities were available.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experimental results showed that groove pattern, average roughness, and wettability do not affect subcooled flow boiling. Instead, they suggest that the process is determined by the location, size, and shape of cavities, and that micro-scale surface modifications (e.g., porous cracks) or nano-scale structures play a crucial role in the formation of active nucleation cavities and modify the bubble dynamics. A key takeaway from this study is that, to elucidate how surface modifications affect boiling heat transfer, one should carefully examine how the surface morphology changes at both the micro- and nano-scale and how the surface preparation process affect the formation of cavities.

Download or read book Experimental Investigation of Subcooled Flow Boiling Using Synchronized High Speed Video Infrared Thermography and Particle Image Velocimetry written by Bren Andrew Phillips and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subcooled flow boiling of water was experimentally investigated using high-speed video (HSV), infrared (IR) thermography, and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to generate a unique database of synchronized data. HSV allowed measurement of the bubble departure diameter. IR thermography allowed measurement of wall superheat (local distribution and surface-averaged values), heat transfer coefficient, nucleation site density, and bubble frequency. Particle image velocimetry allowed for the measurement of velocity profiles in the liquid phase for single bubble nucleation events. The tests were performed at pressures of 1.05, 1.5, and 2.0 bar and at subcoolings of 5, 10, and 15 °C. The mass flux values explored were 150-1250 kg/m2/s. The heat flux values explored were 100-1600 kW/m2. As expected, the heat transfer coefficients increased with increasing mass flux in the single-phase convection and partial boiling regions, and converged to a fully-developed boiling curve for high heat fluxes. The bubble departure diameter decreased with increasing mass flux and decreasing heat flux; in accordance with Sugrue's model. The nucleation site density increased with increasing superheat and decreasing mass flux, as predicted by Kocamustafaogullari and Ishii's model. The nucleation site density models under-predicted the nucleation site density for a given wall superheat. Wait time and frequency models did not reproduce the data accurately, and underestimated wait time by an order of magnitude. A new mechanistic model for calculating the wait time was developed that split the wall heat flux into the component that is transferred to the fluid, and the component that is transferred as sensible heat into the heater wall. Significant localized cooling was observed underneath bubbles sliding along the wall after departure from a nucleation site, an effect which should be considered in advanced models of subcooled flow boiling. The sliding bubble thermal effects were found to be insensitive to system conditions and were limited by the thermal conduction within the substrate. Bubble growth front velocities, and regions of flow influence of departing bubbles were measured with PIV. The database generated in this project can be used to inspire or validate mechanistic models and/or CFD simulations of subcooled flow boiling heat transfer.
