An experimental study of the critical heat flux (CHF) using R-134a in uniformly heated vertical tube was performed and 182 CHF data points were obtained from the present work to investigate the CHF characteristics of R-134a. The investigated flow parameters in R-134a were: (1) outlet pressures of 13, 16.5, 23.9 bar, (2) mass fluxes of 285-1300 kg/m2 s, (3) subcooling temperatures of 5-40 °C. The CHF tests were performed in a 17.04 mm I.D. test section with heated length of 3 m. The parametric trends of CHF show a general agreement with previous understanding in the water. To assess the suitability of the CHF test using R-134a for modeling the CHF in water, Bowring correlation and Katto correlation were used in the present investigation. It was found that the present test results coincided well with the data predicted with both correlations. It demonstrates that the R-134a can be used as the CHF modeling fluid of water for the investigated flow conditions and geometric condition.  相似文献

A study of post-dryout heat transfer was performed with a directed heated smooth tube and rifled tubes using vertical R-134a up-flow to investigate the heat transfer characteristics in the post-dryout region. Three types of rifled tube having different rib height and width were used to examine the effects of rib geometry and compare with the smooth tube, using a mass flux of 70–800 kg/m2 s and a pressure of 13–24 bar (corresponding to an approximate water pressure of 80–140 bar). Wall temperature distribution in all tubes was strongly dependent on pressure and mass flux. Wall temperatures of the rifled tubes in the post-dryout region were much lower than for the smooth tube at same conditions. This was attributed to swirl flow caused by the rib. Thus, the thermal non-equilibrium, which is usually present in the post-dryout region, was lowered. The empirical correlation of heat transfer in the smooth tube of the post-dryout region was obtained. The heat transfer correlation for rifled tubes was also obtained as a function of rib height and width with the modification of the smooth tube correlation.  相似文献

Correlations for the evaporation heat transfer coefficient and two-phase friction factor of R-134a flowing through horizontal corrugated tubes are proposed. In the present study, the test section is a horizontal counter-flow concentric tube-in-tube heat exchanger with R-134a flowing in the inner tube and hot water flowing in the annulus. Smooth tube and corrugated tubes with inner diameters of 8.7 mm and lengths of 2000 mm are used as the inner tube. The corrugation pitches are 5.08, 6.35, and 8.46 mm and the corrugation depths are 1, 1.25, and 1.5 mm, respectively. The outer tube is made from smooth copper tube with an inner diameter of 21.2 mm. The correlations presented are formed by using approximately 200 data points for five different corrugated tube geometries and are then proposed in terms of Nusselt number, equivalent Reynolds number, Prandtl number, corrugation pitch and depth, and inside diameter.  相似文献

The effect of the axial conduction through the pipe wall on the performance of a thermosyphon was experimentally investigated in this study. Two 2-phase closed thermosyphons were tested; each had the same dimensions, materials and partially filled with R134a. The only difference between them was that one had a thermal break within the adiabatic section that resisted axial conduction between the evaporator and the condenser sections. The thermosyphons were heated by a constant-temperature hot bath and cooled by water via a concentric heat exchanger. The experiments were performed for different bath temperatures and different fill ratios. It was found that the axial conduction through the pipe wall caused an increase in the overall heat transfer coefficient, evaporation heat transfer coefficient and condensation heat transfer coefficient of the thermosyphon. However, the fraction of heat transfer associated with axial conduction decreased as the heat flux increased. For small heat flux (Tb = 30 °C), the increment of the evaporation and condensation heat transfer coefficient contributed by axial conduction reached 100% and 25%, respectively. For high heat flux (Tb = 60 °C), the increment was negligible (less than 1%).  相似文献

In the present paper, critical heat flux (CHF) experiments for flow boiling of R-134a were performed to investigate the CHF characteristics of four-head and six-head rifled tubes in comparison with a smooth tube. Both of rifled tubes having different head geometry have the maximum inner diameter of 17.04 mm while the smooth tube has the average inner diameter of 17.04 mm. The experiments were conducted for the vertical orientation under outlet pressures of 13, 16.5, and 23.9 bar, mass fluxes of 285-1300 kg/m2s and inlet subcooling temperatures of 5-40 °C in the R-134a CHF test loop. The parametric trends of CHF for the tubes show a good agreement with previous understanding. In particular, CHF data of the smooth tube for R-134a were compared with well-known CHF correlations such as Bowring and Katto correlations. The CHF in the rifled tube was enhanced to 40-60% for the CHF in the smooth tube with depending on the rifled geometry and flow parameters such as pressure and mass flux. In relation to the enhancement mechanism, the relative vapor velocity is used to explain the characteristics of the CHF performance in the rifled tube.  相似文献

Two-phase flow analysis for the evaporation and condensation of refrigerants within the minichannel plate heat exchangers is an area of ongoing research, as reported in the literatures reviewed in this article. The previous studies mostly correlated the two-phase heat transfer and pressure drop in these minichannel heat exchangers using theories and empirical correlations that had previously been established for two-phase flows in conventional macrochannels. However, the two-phase flow characteristics within micro/minichannels may be more sophisticated than conventional macrochannels, and the empirical correlations for one scale may not work for the other one. The objective of this study is to investigate the parameters that affect the two-phase heat transfer within the minichannel plate heat exchangers, and to utilize the dimensional analysis technique to develop appropriate correlations. For this purpose, thermo-hydrodynamic performance of three minichannel brazed-type plate heat exchangers was analyzed experimentally in this study. These heat exchangers were used as the evaporator and condenser of an automotive refrigeration system where the refrigerant R-134a flowed on one side and a 50% glycol–water mixture on the other side in a counter-flow configuration. The heat transfer coefficient for the single-phase flow of the glycol–water mixture was first obtained using a modified Wilson plot technique. The results from the single-phase flow analysis were then used in the two-phase flow analysis, and correlations for the refrigerant evaporation and condensation heat transfer were developed. Correlations for the single-phase and two-phase Fanning friction factors were also obtained based on a homogenous model. The results of this study showed that the two-phase theories and correlations that were established for conventional macrochannel heat exchangers may not hold for the minichannel heat exchangers used in this study.  相似文献

In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in energy demand due to industrialization development. This raises concern on issues such as depletion of fossil based energy and emission of green house gasses. Hence, optimization of energy use through the thermosyphon air preheater is one of the possible approaches to address this problem. It can be used to recover and transmit the heat from the hot air (flue gas) to the cold air used for combustion process in a boiler. This study focuses on the analytical analysis of the thermal performance of a thermosyphon operated with water and nanofluids. The thermo physical properties of the selected nanofluids and relevant formulations are taken from the literatures to perform the analysis. Study found that change of nanofluid properties such as thermal conductivity only plays minor role in enhancing the thermal performance of the thermosyphon. The study implied that the hot air velocity is capable of increasing the efficiency of a thermosyphon. It is found that 23% overall heat transfer enhancement is observed when the hot air velocity increases from 2.0 m/s to 4.75 m/s for water based (7%) alumina and (4%) titanium dioxide nanofluids.  相似文献

Thermosyphon Rankine cycle (TRC) is an environmentally friendly system for direct extraction of electrical power using low enthalpy heat sources. An enhanced design of the TRC system using impulse turbine was recommended, in this paper. Energy and exergy analysis of the TRC was formulated in order to estimate its optimum operating conditions. Also the data available in open literature were used to validate the TRC mathematical model. The results showed that the highest efficiency happens for the reaction turbine model at the turbine infinite speed; and for the impulse turbine at the turbine limited speed. The simulation results indicated that the present model can be able to increase the efficiency of the TRC system.  相似文献

The rapid development and sales volume of photovoltaic (PV) modules has created a promising business environment in the foreseeable future. However, the current electricity cost from PV is still several times higher than from the conventional power generation. One way to shorten the payback period is to bring in the hybrid photovoltaic–thermal (PVT) technology, which multiplies the energy outputs from the same collector surface area. In this paper, the performance evaluation of a new water-type PVT collector system is presented. The thermal collection making use of the thermosyphon principle eliminates the expense of pumping power. Experimental rigs were successfully built. A dynamic simulation model of the PVT collector system was developed and validated by the experimental measurements, together with two other similar models developed for PV module and solar hot-water collector. These were then used to predict the energy outputs and the payback periods for their applications in the subtropical climate, with Hong Kong as an example. The numerical results show that a payback period of 12 year for the PVT collector system is comparable to the side-by-side system, and is much shorter than the plain PV application. This is a great encouragement in marketing the PVT technology.  相似文献
