The investigations showed that, the inclusion of the interfacial eveiporative heat transfer in the turbulent model would lower the predicted convective heat transfer coefficient. Predictions of the new model resulted in a prominent deviation from that predictions of the normal model in the case of large mass flow rate and low wall heat flux. This deviation will be decreased with increasing wall heat flux, such that it will be asymptotic zero at very high wall heat flux. Predictions of the new model agreed well with the current experimental measurements. This study has verified that the Reynolds number is not the sole crucial parameter for heat transfer of falling liquid film flow, and wall heat flux will be another important independent parameter. This result is consistent with our previous studies.展开更多

Experimental the fuel-coolant interaction process which may occur during a and theoretical work on film-boiling heat transfer in sodium has hardly been carried out in the past. An experiment has been conducted in the early seventies to investigate sodium pool boiling. In this experiment, a hot tantalum sphere was immersed into subcooled liquid sodium. Film boiling was obtained for various sets of parameters： sodium subcooling from 4.1 K to 29. 1 K, initial sphere temperature ranging from 1,802.6 K to 2,633.7 K, sphere diameters of 1.27, 1.91 and 2.54 cm and sodium depths of 7.6 cm and 11.4 cm. In the present work, a simplified analysis based on the boundary layer theory is developed to describe pool film-boiling heat transfer on a hot sphere in liquid sodium. Two extreme cases are considered depending on sodium subcooling. In the case of high subcooling, most of the heat lost by the sphere is used to heat the sodium while for low subcooling, it is used to vaporize the liquid at the liquid-vapor interface. It will be shown that the scaling analysis predicts the heat fluxes within the order of magnitude when compared to the available experimental data. Besides, it allows an estimation of the contribution of these fluxes to the liquid heating and vaporization processes.展开更多

The algorithm of the simulation is based on MAC method and schemes for interfacial boundary conditions are modified. Small artificial perturbations given at the inflow boundary grow rapidly and then the amplitude of the waves approaches to developed waves. Effects of the disturbance frequency on the wave development behavior and heat transfer characteristics are especially investigated. For low frequency, a disturbance wave develops to a solitary wave consisted of a large amplitude roll wave and small amplitude capillary waves. Increasing the frequency, the wave amplitude decreases and the capillary wave disappears. For further high frequency, the disturbance amplitude reduces along down stream. The heat transfer coefficient is enhanced by the surface wave and has a maximum at a certain frequency. The streamlines and the temperature contours are shown for various frequency waves and the heat transfer enhancement mechanism is clarified.展开更多

To describe the coupled heat and mass transfer of laminar falling film in vertical generation tube, a mathematicalmodel is developed, in which the effect of mass transfer on heat transfer is carefully evaluated. Moreover,an equation related Re number with solution volume flow was also obtained in given conditions. We carried outthe experiments with the mass fraction of the inlet solution LiBr being 49.5% and obtained an empirical correlationof heat transfer with the film Re number and heat flux in different volume flow. Specifically, when 5kW/m2<qw<25kW/m2 and Re<500 the heat transfer correlation is given as: h=14009.87qw0.0764Re-0.5391.展开更多

The divergence theorem is applied to the non-linear convective volume integral of the boundary element formulation with the pressure penalty function. Consequently, velocity and temperature gradients are eliminated, and the complete formulation is written in terms of velocity and temperature. This provides considerable reduction in storage and computational requirements while improving accuracy. The non-linear equation systems of boundary element discretization are solved by the quasi-Newton iterative scheme with Broyden's update. The streamline maps and the temperature distributions in solitary wave and wavy film flow have been obtained, and the variations of Nusselt numbers along the wall-liquid interface are also given. There are large cross-flow velocities and S-shape temperature distributions in the recirculating region of solitary wave. This special flow and thermal process can be a mechanism to enhance heat transport.展开更多
