空气-水鼓泡流动的阻力与蒸发传热特性

Pressure Drop and Evaporative Heat Transfer Characteristicsof Air-water Bubbling Flow

实验研究了一种新的适用于蒸发冷却过程的鼓泡装置的阻力与传热特性。实验中将换热盘管浸没于空气-水的鼓泡层中,空气-水两相流通过盘管的表面。这种换热方式可以极大的提高换热管与空气之间的换热系数,降低水泵功率的消耗,而且对气流速度的要求低于空冷式冷凝器。文中给出了空气穿过空气-水鼓泡层的压降以及盘管与冷却水之间换热的实验数据,该结果显示影响压降及换热系数的因素包括多孔板的几何尺寸,鼓泡层的高度,空塔速度及热流密度。换热盘管与冷却水之间的换热系数比管外降膜冷却的换热系数大2倍多。

A new kind of evaporative heat transfer experiment for the cooling process of condensers is conducted. The test coil is immersed in an air-water bubbling layer. The air-water two-phase flow passes through the heating tubes of the coil. Due to the motion of the air bubbles in the water, a thin water film forms on the surface of the heating tubes. As the air bubbles passing by the tubes the water is evaporated into the air. The tubes of coil reject heat to the water film, and the evaporation of the water film then rejects heat to the air bubble stream. This heat transfer mode significantly increases the heat transfer coefficient between tubes and air. The consumption of the power of a water pump can be decreased. Moreover, the airflow rate required is less than that of an air-cooled condenser.The pressure drop of air through air-water bubbling layer and the heat transfer between the tubes and water are experimentally investigated in the paper. The results show that the factors affecting the pressure drop and the heat transfer coefficient involve the pore geometry of sieve plate, the height of the air-water bubbling layer, the air flow rate through the sieve plate and the heat flux of tubes. The heat transfer coefficient between tube and water is two times larger than that of falling film of water on the outer surface of tube.
