开架式气化器竖直圆管内超临界氮换热实验研究

目前国内外对液化天然气(LNG)接收站的开架式气化器中超临界天然气的流动换热实验研究非常少,本文为了研究开架式气化器中竖直管内超临界流体的流动换热特性,搭建了竖直单管超临界流体换热实验平台。以液氮代替液化天然气,研究了氮入口压力、水温和水流量等不同参数对换热的影响。结果表明:在拟临界温度以下,表面传热系数随着压力的增大逐渐减小,但拟临界温度以后,这种趋势相反;当水流量足够大时,氮出口温度取决于管外水温而不是水侧流量。最后,基于实验数据拟合出了适用于竖直圆管内超临界低温流体流动换热的半经验关联式,关联式预测值和实验值的平均绝对偏差为8.42%,可以准确预测竖直加热管中超临界氮的表面传热系数。     

ISS experiments for the clarification of boiling and two-phase flow in microgravity and for the development of high-performance space cold plates

Inflow boiling, gravity effects on the distribution of both phases are observed in a heated tube and heat transfer coefficients due to two-phase forced convection is deteriorated in microgravity. In narrow channels between heated and unheated plates, the increase in subcooling enlarges a size of flattened bubble and reduces the frequency of detachment under microgravity conditions resulting the emphasis of heat transfer deterioration. To clarify reasons for the unknown behaviors of interfacial distribution and corresponding characteristics in heat transfer not easily be clarified through the experiments on ground, the opportunity on the experiments utilizing long-term microgravity duration realized in ISS is required. The experiments on microgravity boiling and two-phase flow are proposed by the collaboration of researchers in five countries. A common test loop is designed to conduct multiple experiments by the interchangeable structures of test sections; a transparent heated tube for the visualized flow boiling, a stainless tube for the measurement of CHF data, a copper surface for the heat transfer data of nucleate boiling with superimposed liquid flows in a duct, a glass heated plate with multiple array of small temperature sensors and transparent heaters for the clarification of mechanisms in nucleate boiling heat transfer, and one or two models of cold plates for practical applications. A direction of researches in the present discipline is proposed based on the existing experimental results and on the idea developed by the present authors.

An experimental study on heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of carbon dioxide during gas cooling process in a horizontal tube

The heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop during gas cooling process of CO₂ (R744) in a horizontal tube were investigated experimentally. The experiments are conducted without oil in the refrigerant loop. The main components of the refrigerant loop are a receiver, a variable-speed pump, a mass flow meter, a pre-heater and a gas cooler (test section). The water loop consists of a variable speed pump, an isothermal tank, and a flow meter. The refrigerant, circulated by the variable-speed pump, condenses in the inner tube while water flows in the annulus. The gas cooler of tube diameter is 6000 mm in length, and it is divided into 12 subsections.The pressure drop of CO₂ in the gas cooler shows a relatively good agreement with those predicted by Blasius's correlation. The local heat transfer coefficient of CO₂ agrees well with the correlation by Bringer–Smith. However, at the region near Pseudo-critical temperature, the experiments indicate higher values than the Bringer–Smith correlation. Based on the experimental data presented in this paper, a new correlation to predict the heat transfer coefficient of supercritical CO₂ during in-tube cooling has been developed. The majority of the experimental values are within 18% of the values predicted by the new correlation.     

Particle scale study on heat transfer of gas–solid spout fluidized bed with hot gas injection

ABSTRACT

In this paper, the heat transfer characteristics of a 2D gas–solid spout fluidized bed with a hot gas jet are investigated using computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method. The initial temperature of the background gas and particles in the spouted bed was set to 300?K. The particle temperature distribution after injection of 500?K gas from the bottom, center of the bed, is presented. The simulation results indicate well heat transfer behavior in the bed. Then, statistical analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of inlet gas velocity and particle thermal conductivity on the heat transfer at particle scale in detail. The results indicate that the particle mean temperature and convective heat transfer coefficient (HTC) linearly increase with the increase in inlet gas velocity, while the conductive HTC and the uniformity of particle temperature distribution are dominated by the particle thermal conductivity. The conductive and convective heat transfer play different roles in the spout fluidized bed. These results should be useful for the further research in such flow pattern and the optimization of operating such spouted fluidized beds.     

Friction and Heat Transfer in the Boundary Layer on a Permeable Surface with Injection of Foreign Gas

A three-parameter (for energy, friction, and vorticity of turbulence) model is used to perform a numerical investigation of the boundary layer on a permeable surface under conditions of injection of a gas whose density and temperature differ from those of the gas of incident flow. The results obtained for the friction coefficient and Stanton number are compared with the available experimental data for the injection of helium, air, carbon dioxide, and Freon into a flow of heated air. It is demonstrated that the density ratio between the gas being injected and the gas of incident flow affects significantly the dependence of friction and heat transfer on the injection parameter.     

Correlation of time dependent recovery from film boiling heat transfer in He II

A correlation is presented that describes the behaviour of time dependent recovery from film boiling in He II. In a one dimensional heat transfer experiment, the recovery time from the film boiling once heat generation stops is observed to be a function of the energy applied to the heater during film boiling. This correlation has a power law dependence which can be physically understood in terms of heat capacity of the heat transfer sample and the film boiling heat transfer coefficient. A direct comparison of experimental data with the analysis is achieved by adjusting the value of the transient film boiling heat transfer coefficient. Data can be predicted to within 20% for recovery under SVP conditions. The results are somewhat less certain for data taken in subcooled He II.     

Pressure drop reduction and heat transfer deterioration of slush nitrogen in triangular and circular pipe flows

Slush fluids such as slush hydrogen and slush nitrogen are characterized by superior properties as functional thermal fluids due to their density and heat of fusion. In addition to allowing efficient hydrogen transport and storage, slush hydrogen can serve as a refrigerant for high-temperature superconducting (HTS) equipment using MgB₂, with the potential for synergistic effects. In this study, pressure drop reduction and heat transfer deterioration experiments were performed on slush nitrogen flowing in a horizontal triangular pipe with sides of 20 mm under the conditions of three different cross-sectional orientations. Experimental conditions consisted of flow velocity (0.3–4.2 m/s), solid fraction (0–25 wt.%), and heat flux (0, 10, and 20 kW/m²). Pressure drop reduction became apparent at flow velocities exceeding about 1.3–1.8 m/s, representing a maximum amount of reduction of 16–19% in comparison with liquid nitrogen, regardless of heating. Heat transfer deterioration was seen at flow velocities of over 1.2–1.8 m/s, for a maximum amount of deterioration of 13–16%. The authors of the current study compared the results for pressure drop reduction and heat transfer deterioration in triangular pipe with those obtained previously for circular and square pipes, clarifying differences in flow and heat transfer properties. Also, a correlation equation was obtained between the slush Reynolds number and the pipe friction factor, which is important in the estimation of pressure drop in unheated triangular pipe. Furthermore, a second correlation equation was derived between the modified slush Reynolds number and the pipe friction factor, enabling the integrated prediction of pressure drop in both unheated triangular and circular pipes.     

Experimental investigation on heat transfer characteristics of supercritical CO2 cooled in horizontal helically coiled tube

An experimental investigation on the heat transfer characteristics of supercritical CO₂ during gas cooling process in a helically coiled tube is conducted. The experimental data are obtained over a mass flux range of 79.6–238.7 kg m⁻² s⁻¹, an inlet pressure range of 7.5–9.0 MPa and a mean bulk temperature of 23.0–53.0 °C. The effects of mass flux, bulk temperature and pressure on the heat transfer coefficient for helically coiled tubes are investigated. A comparative analysis of the gravitational buoyancy and the heat transfer coefficient is carried out between helically coiled tubes and straight tubes. A new heat transfer correlation of the supercritical CO₂ in the horizontal helically coiled tube is proposed based on the experimental data. The maximum error between the predicted results of the new correlation and the experimental data is 20%.     

The thermal state of a porous wall under conditions of transpiration cooling

Results of numerical experiment are used for analysis of fields of temperature in a laminar boundary layer, in a porous wall, and in a cooling gas delivery chamber, as well as for analysis of heat transfer and of distribution of the temperature difference between the cooling gas and the porous wall frame and cooling efficiency. It is demonstrated that heat transfer between a porous wall of finite thickness and a high-temperature gas flow differs significantly from heat transfer with preassignment of the same intensity of injection and of the homogeneous thermal boundary condition directly on the surface subjected to flow. One of the reasons for this is the formation of wall temperature variable along the boundary layer.     

A theoretical model of the heat transfer processes in multilayer insulation

A theoretical model of heat-mass-transfer in a perforated insulation, which takes into account the simultaneously and mutually acting mechanisms of heat transfer by a radiation, gas and spacer heat conduction, is proposed. The heat transfer and gas flow are described by equations for the densities of molecule flows, taking into consideration the spacer resistances and radiant flows in the spaces between the screens, and by energy equations defining the screen temperature distribution over the stack thickness as a function of time. Theoretical values for stationary heat transfer characteristics in the insulation systems of interest are given. The results obtained are compared with the experimental data.     

Heat transfer in large-scale heavy-gas dispersion.

Heavy-gas dispersion of practical interest is usually cold gas dispersion with the enthalpy deficit as the main cause of the density effect. New analysis of existing field experiment data suggests that heat transfer from the ground sometimes reduces this thermally induced density effect considerably. The limited heat capacity of the ground implies that heat transfer to a gas plume must disappear eventually, and our interpretation of Desert Tortoise measurements indicates that the surface heat flux decreased by 38% during a 3-min long release period.     

A Universal Model of Heat Transfer in Systems with Penetration Cooling

Penetration cooling is one of the most intensive methods of regulation of heat transfer, which is explained by the highly developed contact (wetted) surface within a porous matrix and by the significant effect of heat flux reduction upon the injection of coolant into the boundary layer. However, there are serious difficulties in performing theoretical analysis of heat transfer within permeable matrices with filtration of coolant because of the absence of a universally accepted approach to the choice of geometric scale of pore channels and criterion relations for the calculation of the coefficient of internal heat transfer, as well as because of the indeterminacy of the boundary conditions on the internal and external surfaces for the coolant temperature. In this paper, all of these problems are coordinated from a unified standpoint, which enables one to formulate a universal model of heat transfer in permeable envelopes. The results of systematic calculations by the suggested mathematical model are used to reveal and optimize the most important parameters of the system of heat shielding designed for the blades of high-temperature rims of gas turbines.     

Influence of oil on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer of refrigerant on metal foam covers

Nucleate pool boiling heat transfer characteristics of refrigerant/oil mixture on metal foam covers were experimentally investigated. The refrigerant is R113, and the oil is VG68. The copper foams, having ppi (pores per inch) of 10 and 20, porosity from 90% to 98%, and thickness of 5 mm, are selected in this study. Experimental conditions include a saturation pressure of 101 kPa, oil concentrations from 0 to 5%, and heat fluxes from 0 to 80 kW m⁻². The experimental results indicate that the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient on copper foam covers is larger than that on flat heated surface by a maximum of 160% under the present experimental conditions; the presence of oil deteriorates the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer on copper foam covers by a maximum of 15% under the present experimental conditions, and the deterioration of oil on nucleate pool boiling heat transfer on copper foam covers is lower than that on a flat heated surface. A correlation for predicting the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of refrigerant/oil mixture on copper foam cover is developed, and it agrees with 95% of the experimental data within a deviation of ±20%.     

Effect of the size of air bubbles on enhancement of heat transfer in an impinging liquid jet

The numerical modeling of heat transfer in a bubbly impinging jet is carried out. The axisymmetric system of RANS equations that take into account the two-phase nature of the flow is resolved based on the Euler approach. The turbulence of the liquid phase is described by the Reynolds stress transport model with taking into account the effect of bubbles on modification of the turbulence. The effect of the gas volumetric flow rate ratio and the bubble size on the flow structure and the heat transfer in a gas–liquid impact stream is studied. It is shown that the addition of the gas phase in a turbulent fluid causes an increase up to 1.5-fold in heat transfer. The comparison of the simulation results with experimental data showed that the developed model enables the simulation of turbulent bubbly impinging jet with heat transfer with the pipe wall in a wide range of gas fraction.

A novel experimental technique to determine the heat transfer coefficient between the bed and particles in a downer

A novel method for directly measuring the temperature history of mobile hot ferromagnetic particles (steel particles), substituting for reacting particles, in a binary-solid (reacting particles and inert particles) downflow is introduced. The temperature history of the hot steel particles can be obtained by measuring the temperature of the particles at different axial positions using magnetic fields that can separate the steel particles from other bed materials immediately and easily. Employing the magnetic marking method, magnetic sensors were used to detect the change in magnetic flux density in a given magnetic field, and the residence time of the steel particles was also measured. The cross-sectional averaged particle-to-bed heat transfer coefficients were calculated from the experimental results using simple heat balance equations. The measured temperature data have a relatively wide error range; however, the average temperature curves derived from the average particle-to-bed heat transfer coefficients agreed with the temperature plots. Therefore, the experimental method of this study is applicable to the measurement of the particle temperature in a binary-solid downflow. The results showed that there is strong correlation between the particle-to-bed heat transfer coefficients and normalized collision frequency under the laminar gas flow conditions.     

The nature of wall temperature distributions in regions of deteriorated heat transfer

This note concerns the difficulty of fitting heat transfer correlations to data in deteriorated forced convective flows of supercritical pressure fluids. Experimental data suggests that the heat transfer coefficient depends inversely upon wall to bulk temperature difference, causing the wall temperature to become very sensitive to secondary features such as axial conduction in the test section wall. Under certain conditions the wall temperature level cannot be uniquely determined by a correlation. It is suggested that by noting the transient response of wall temperature to step changes in heat flux the influence of axial conduction may be deduced.     

The convection heat transfer coefficient in a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB)

Circulating Fluidized Beds are increasingly used in gas–solid and gas–catalytic reactions. A recent development involves their use in physical gas–solid processes such as drying, VOC adsorption or solar energy capture and storage. The heat transfer from the wall of the CFB to the flowing gas–solid suspension is the major design parameter, and was studied for different powders at different operating conditions as determined by the gas velocity and solids circulation flux. Measured values of the heat transfer coefficients are discussed, and compared with empirical predictions of Molodtsof–Muzyka, and Gorliz–Grace. Whereas Gorliz–Grace predicts heat transfer coefficients correctly within a narrow range of operating conditions only, the Molodtsof–Muzyka approach can be simplified into a linear relationship.
