The maximum radius under the effect of rotation is estimated analytically .It is found that it decreases with the angular velocity. This in turn increases the rate of sweeping the surface by departing droplets. The appearance of droplets with smaller radii will be predominant. These small droplets offer small thermal resistances, thus enhancing heat transfer through the condenser surface. It is found also that the maximum radius is a function of the distance from the axis of the rotating condenser. Thus the value of the maximum radius under rotation is not unique. This in turn makes the heat flux through the condenser surface not to be uniform.展开更多

The present study is designed to reveal the mechanism of cavitation enhanced heat transfer from a microscopic perspective. In the simulation, the time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations are solved in an axisymmetric two-dimensional domain. The volume of fluid （VOF） method is employed to track the liquid-gas interface. It is assumed that the gas inside the bubble is compressible vapor, and the sur- rounding liquid is incompressible water. Mass transfer between two phases is ignored. The eaiculated bubble pro-files were compared to the available experimental data, and a good agreement was obtained. Then, the relationship among bubble motion, flow field and surface heat transfer coefficient was analyzed. On this basis, the effects of such factors as the initial distance between the bubble and the wall, the initial vapor pressure and the initial bubble nucleus size on the heat transfer enhancement are discussed. The present study is helpful to understand the heat transfer phenomenon in presence of cavitation bubble in liquid.展开更多
