The water flowed upward, covering the ranges of pressure of 23.4 MPa to 25.8 MPa, mass flux of 90 kg/m^2s to 3,281 kg/m^2s, local bulk temperature of 102-384 ℃, inner wall temperature of 167-669℃ and heat flux of up to 2.41 MW/m^2. The results exhibited severe deteriorated and enhancement heat transfer. The experimental results can be calculated by the Jackson's correlation and the Bishop's correlation mostly. But some data with strong effects of the buoyancy force and the variations of flow regimes can not be predicted properly.展开更多

The channel consists of an impermeable solid wall and a membrane. The delta winglets are attached to the solid wall surface to enhance the mass transfer near the membrane surface and suppress the concentration polarization. The winglet performance was evaluated in terms of concentration polarization factor versus consumed pumping power. Calculations were implemented for NaCl solution flow in a membrane channel having a height of 2.0 mm for Reynolds numbers ranging from 400 to 1000. The delta wing- lets were optimized under equal pumping power condition, and the results of optimization suggest winglet height of 5/6 of the channel height, aspect ratio of 2.0, attack angle of 30% and a winglet interval equal to the channel height The optimal delta winglets were compared with the optimal rectangular winglets we found previously, and it is shown that the rectangular winglets yield a somewhat better performance than the delta winglets. @ 2015 The Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China, and Chemical Industry Press.

The main focus lies on the flow of the leading edge channels and the impact on theheat transfer. An experimental approach is performed with flow visualization via paint injection into water. Alsonumerical calculations are carried out in two sets, on the one hand water calculations accompanying the experimentsand on the other hand conjugate heat transfer calculations under realistic engine conditions. The latter calculationsare still ongoing delivering preliminary results.Five geometry configurations are investigated, three of them with differing turbulator arrangements in the leadingedge channels. The operating point of the base configuration is set to Re = 50,000 at the inlet while for the modifiedgeometries the pressure ratio is held constant compared to the base.Among several investigated configurations one could be identified that leads to a heat transfer enhancement inone leading edge channel 7 % larger compared to the base.展开更多
