The experiment result has verified Yang’s evaporation drag model, which holds that the non-symmetric profile of the local evaporation rate and the local density of vapor would bring about a resultant force on the hot particle so as to resist its motion. How- ever, in Yang’s evaporation drag model, radiation heat transfer is taken as the only way to transfer heat from hot par- ticle to the vapor-liquid interface, and all of the radiation energy is deposited on the vapor-liquid interface and con- tributed to the vaporization rate and mass balance of the vapor film. In improved model heat conduction and heat convection are taken into account. This paper presents calculations of the improved model, putting emphasis on the effect of hot particle’s temperature on the radiation absorption behavior of water.展开更多

Current study proposes the entransy of evaporators to conduct the optimization of heat exchangers in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. A novel finless bare tube heat exchanger was studied using a validated heat exchanger modeling tool. The capacity based optimization and entransy dissipation based thermal resistance were used and compared. The applicability of using entransy dissipation based thermal resistance in this type of heat exchanger optimization has been discussed. It has been demonstrated that minimizing entransy dissipation and maximizing capacity are equivalent to optimizing evaporators with fixed flow rates and different when optimizing evaporators with variable flow rates and the deviation is negligible when heat exchanger capacity is small(~1 k W) and more obvious as heat exchanger capacity increases. Thus entransy dissipation based thermal resistance could be used as an alternative optimization index to capacity for evaporators with fixed flow rate and small capacity evaporators with variable flow rates and should be used individually with capacity as an optimization index for evaporators with large capacity and variable flow rates.展开更多

文摘A special visible experiment facility has been designed and built, and an observable experiment is per- formed by pouring one or several high-temperature particles into a water pool in the facility.

How- ever, in Yang’s evaporation drag model, radiation heat transfer is taken as the only way to transfer heat from hot par- ticle to the vapor-liquid interface, and all of the radiation energy is deposited on the vapor-liquid interface and con- tributed to the vaporization rate and mass balance of the vapor film.
