Enhancement of boiling heat transfer in restricted spaces in compact horizontal tube bundles

ln desalinization devices and some heat exchangers making use of low‐quality heat energy, both wall temperatures and heat fluxes of heated tubes are quite low and generally cannot cause boiling in flooded‐type tube bundle evaporators with a large tube spacing. But when the tube spacing is very small, boiling in restricted spaces can occur and induce a higher heat transfer than that of a falling film or pool boiling at the same heat flux. This study investigated experimentally the effects of tube spacing, positions of tubes, and heating status of tubes as well as surface status (smooth and roll‐worked) on boiling in restricted spaces in compact horizontal tube bundle evaporators under atmospheric pressure. The experimental results provide a restricted space boiling database for water in smooth and enhanced surface tube bundles. Of particular importance is information concerning the influence of tube spacing of flooded‐type tube bundle evaporators, especially for the case of zero pitch, when the neighboring tubes are contacting each other. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Asian Res, 30(5): 394–401, 2001

Enhanced Boiling Heat Transfer of Water/Salt Mixtures in the Restricted Space of the Compact Tube Bundle

In desalinization devices and some heat exchangers making use of low-quality heat energy, both the wall temperature and the heat flux of the heated tubes are generally quite low, hence cannot cause boiling in flooded-type tube bundle evaporators with a large tube spacing. But when the tube spacing is quite small, incipient boiling can occur in the restricted space and results in higher heat transfer than that in a falling-film evaporator or during pool boiling at the same heat flux. This study experimentally investigates the effects of the tube spacing, the positions of tubes, and the salt-water concentration on bundle boiling heat transfer of salt water in the restricted space of the compact tube bundle evaporator under atmospheric pressure. The experimental results provide a restricted space boiling database for salt water in the compact tube bundle. Of particular importance is information concerning the influences of the tube spacing of the tube bundle and the concentration of salt water in desalination evaporators.     

Enhanced boiling heat transfer in restricted spaces of a compact tube bundle with enhanced tubes

In flooded-type tube bundle evaporators with smooth tubes and general tube gaps, both wall superheat and heat flux are generally quite low and boiling cannot occur on the heated tubes. But when the tube gap is quite small or the enhanced heat transfer tubes are employed, the incipient boiling can occur at low heat flux levels and results in a significant heat transfer enhancement effect. This study investigates experimentally enhancement effects by the restricted space comprising the compact tube bundle and the enhanced tubes for boiling heat transfer of pure water and salt-water mixtures under atmospheric pressure. The experimental results show that the small tube gaps can greatly enhance boiling heat transfer for the compact enhanced tube bundle.     

Effect of tube bundles on nucleate boiling and critical heat flux

In order to elucidate boiling heat transfer characteristics for each tube and the critical heat flux (CHF) for tube bundles, an experimental investigation of pool and flow boiling of Freon-113 at 0.1 MPa was performed using two typical tube arrangements. A total of fifty heating tubes of 14 mm diameter, equipped with thermocouples and cartridge heaters, were arrayed at pitches of 18.2 and 21.0 mm to simulate both square in-line and equilateral staggered bundles. For the flow boiling tests the same bundles as were used in pool boiling were installed in a vertical rectangular channel, to which the fluid was supplied with an approach velocity varying from 0.022 to 0.22 m/s. It was found in this study that the boiling heat transfer coefficient of each tube in a bundle was higher than that for an isolated single tube in pool boiling. This enhancement increases for tubes at higher locations, but decreases as heat flux is increased. At heat fluxes exceeding certain values, the heat transfer coefficient becomes the same as that for an isolated tube. As the heat flux approaches the CHF, flow pulsations occurred in the pool boiling experiments although the heat transfer coefficient was invariant even under this situation. The approach velocity has an appreciable effect on heat transfer up to a certain level of heat flux. In this range of heat flux, the heat transfer coefficient exceeds the values observed for pool boiling. An additive method with two contributions, i.e., single phase convection and boiling, was used to predict the heat transfer coefficient for bundles. The predicted results showed reasonable agreement with the measured results. The critical heat flux in tube bundles tended to increase as more bubbles were rising through the tube clearance. © 1998 Scripta Technica, Heat Trans Jpn Res, 27(4): 312–325, 1998     

Enhanced Boiling Outside 8 × 3 Plain and Coated Tube Bundles

Experiments were conducted for pool boiling on the outside of 8 × 3 (eight rows and three columns) plain and coated tube (surface roughness = 8.279 μm) bundles for three different pitch distances with the distinct objective to study the behavior and the enhancement of boiling heat transfer in horizontal staggered tube bundles (of plain and coated tubes for different equilateral triangular arrangements) with heat flux values ranging from ～12 to 45 kW/m². At higher heat fluxes, coated and plain tube bundles had almost similar bundle average heat transfer coefficients at a given pitch distance, while at lower heat fluxes, the coated tube bundles have higher bundle average heat transfer coefficients as compared to that of the plain tube bundle. The coated tube bundles with the minimum pitch to diameter ratio of 1.4 exhibited the maximum bundle average heat transfer coefficients. The present study concludes that the bundle factor needs to be considered in the design of flooded evaporators.

Two-Phase Flow and Heat Transfer across Horizontal Tube Bundles‐A Review

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of two-phase flow and flow boiling across horizontal tube bundles. The review covers studies related to the dynamic aspects of two-phase flow on the shell side of staggered and in-line tube bundles for upward, downward, and side-to-side flows (i.e. the evaluation of void fraction, two-phase flow behaviors and pressure drops). Heat transfer experimental work and heat transfer prediction methods on tube bundles in cross-flow for plain, low-fin, and enhanced boiling tubes are also covered. The proposed flow pattern maps and semi-empirical correlations for predicting void fraction and frictional pressure drop are critically described. These prediction methods are generally based on experimental results for adiabatic air-water flows, and noticeable discrepancies are revealed in the results provided by them. This study reveals that before now, there were no heat transfer prediction methods that can be recommended as a general design tool. Finally, this study suggests further research focusing on the development of representative databanks and prediction methods.     

Flow boiling characteristics of refrigerant mixture R22/R114 in the annulus of enhanced surface tubing

The paper presents an experimental study of flow boiling heat transfer characteristics of refrigerant mixture R22/R114 in the annuli of a horizontal enhanced surface tubing evaporator. The test section had an inner tube bore diameter of 17.3 mm, an envelope diameter of 28.6 mm and an outer smooth tube of 32.3 mm internal diameter. The ranges of heat flux and mass velocity covered in the tests were 5–25 kW/m² and 180–290 kg/m²/s, respectively, at a pressure of 570 kPa. The enhanced surface tubing data shows a significant enhancement of the heat transfer compared with an equivalent smooth tube depending on the mixture components and their concentrations. Correlations are proposed to predict such heat transfer characteristics as the average heat transfer coefficients as well as pressure drops of R22/R114 nonazeotropic refrigerant mixture flow boiling inside enhanced surface tubing. In addition, it was found that the refrigerant mixture's pressure drop is a weak function of the mixture composition.     

Condensation of R-113 on Pin-Fin Tubes: Effect of Circumferential Pin Thickness and Spacing

New experimental data are reported for condensation of R-113 at near atmospheric pressure and low velocity on five three-dimensional pin-fin tubes. The only geometric parameters varied were circumferential spacing and thickness, since these have been shown to have a strong effect on condensate retention on pin-fin tubes. Heat transfer enhancement was found to be strongly dependent on the active-area enhancement, i.e., on the parts of the tube and pin surface not covered by condensate retained by surface tension. For all the tubes, vapor-side heat transfer enhancements were found to be approximately 2.5 times the corresponding active-area enhancements, and this finding was in line with earlier data for R-113. An increase in the vapor-side heat transfer enhancement is noticed with the decreasing values of pin spacing. The best performing pin-fin tube gave a heat transfer enhancement about 14% higher than the “equivalent” two-dimensional integral-fin tube (i.e., with the same fin root diameter, longitudinal fin spacing, and thickness and fin height).

Falling film evaporation heat transfer of water/salt mixtures from roll-worked enhanced tubes and tube bundle

An experimental study is carried out for enhancement of falling film evaporation heat transfer of pure water and water/salt mixtures on horizontal smooth tube and two kinds of structured tube bundles under atmospheric pressure. The experimental results show that the low-cost roll-worked tube can greatly enhance the evaporation heat transfer performance of the falling film, and make it comparable to that of expensive commercial enhanced tubes such as GEWA-T tubes, TE tubes and HF tubes, even at low and moderate heat flux levels. The average evaporation heat transfer coefficients for the roll-worked tube bundle are basically independent from the parameters tested such as flow and heating conditions, salt-concentrations, as well as geometries of the tube bundles. The present experimental data result in a constant heat transfer coefficient; α≈20 kW/m² K, in the convective heat transfer range of the heat fluxes <10⁵ W/m².     

Nucleate pool-boiling enhancement outside a horizontal bank of twisted tubes with machined porous surface

Nucleate pool boiling of refrigerants is of important application in the flooded evaporator of refrigeration and air-conditioning system. Many surface geometries involve machined porous surface have been adopted to enhance the nucleate pool boiling heat transfer of refrigerants. Nucleate pool-boiling performance of R134a and R142b outside a horizontal bank of twisted tubes with machined porous surface (T-MPS tubes) was investigated in this paper. The experimental results showed that the T-MPS tube bank could enhance boiling heat transfer evidently. The enhancement ratios of R134a from the T-MPS tube bank were 1.4–1.7 and the maximum enhancement ratio of R142b could reach up to 4.4. Analyzing the tube bank effects of boiling heat transfer for R134a and R142b, the overall trend showed that the boiling heat transfer performance of the T-MPS tube bank was inferior to that of single T-MPS tube slightly.     

Forced convective condensation and boiling of ternary non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures inside water/refrigerant enhanced surface tubing

In this paper, an experimental study on the heat transfer characteristics of two-phase flow condensation and boiling of ternary non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures, on water/refrigerant horizontal enhanced surface tubing, is presented. The enhanced surface tubing data showed a significant enhancement of the heat transfer compared to an equivalent smooth tube depending on the mixture components and their concentrations. Correlations were proposed to predict the heat transfer characteristics such as average heat transfer coefficients, as well as pressure drops of ternary non-azeotropic refrigerant mixture flow condensation, and boiling inside enhanced surface tubing. In addition, it was found that the refrigerant mixture's pressure drop is a weak function of the mixture's composition.     

A comparison of the flow boiling performance characteristics of partially-heated cross-ribbed channels with different rib geometries

Measured local heat transfer data and the results of flow visualization experiments are reported for convective boiling of R-113 and methanol in vertical cross-ribbed channels similar to geometries used in formed-plate compact heat exchangers. Experiments are conducted using a test section in which one wall of the channel is heated while the opposite wall is adiabatic and transparent to allow visual observation of the flow. Heat transfer data are obtained for three different rib crossing patterns at coolant mass flux values between 40 and 230 kg m⁻² s⁻¹ and mass qualities between 0.10 and 0.80. Comparison of these data, together with those for a fourth geometry previously reported, indicate that variations of the rib spacing and angle have a significant effect on boiling heat transfer performance. Variation of the rib crossing pattern in these channels is found to have only a small effect on heat transfer. The swirl and agitation induced by the ribs are found to increase the convective boiling heat transfer coefficient by as much as a factor of 4 above that for a round tube under comparable flow conditions. Methods of correlating the heat transfer data for annular film-flow boiling in these geometries are also discussed.     

Comparison of Six Typical Correlations for Upward Flow Boiling Heat Transfer with Kerosene in a Vertical Smooth Tube

The present article is aimed at evaluating six typical flow boiling heat transfer correlations selected from the open literature with experimental results. The selected correlations are correlations of Chen, Shah, Gungor and Winterton, Liu and Winterton, Klimenko, and Kandlikar. Experiments of upward flow boiling heat transfer with kerosene in a vertical smooth tube were conducted. The test tube has a length of 2.5 m and its outer and inner diameters are 19 mm and 15 mm, respectively. The experiments were performed at an absolute atmospheric pressure of 3. The input heat flux ranged from 28.5 to 93.75 kW/m² and the mass fluxes were selected at 410, 610, and 810 kg/m² s, respectively. The experimental flow boiling heat transfer coefficients were compared with flow boiling heat transfer coefficients calculated with the six typical correlations. By comparison, the most suitable correlations are recommended for the calculation of flow boiling heat transfer coefficients with kerosene in a smooth tube.
