Several factors affecting heat transfer coefficients were analyzed, and the characteristics of flow boiling of the refrigerant in the horizontal micro-fin tubes were discussed. The local heat transfer coefficients increase with mass flux, heat flux and quality. And the heat transfer enhancement factor of those testing tubes is about 1.6 to 2.2.

Experimental investigation on boiling heat transfer and pressure drop of R245fa in a horizontal micro-fin tube

An experimental investigation on the boiling heat transfer and frictional pressure drop of R245fa in a 7 mm horizontal micro-fin tube was performed.The results show that in terms of flow boiling heat transfer characteristics,boiling heat transfer coefficient(HTC)increases with mass velocity of R245fa,while it decreases with the increment of saturation temperature and heat flux.With the increase of vapor quality,HTC has a maximum and the corresponding vapor quality is about 0.4,which varies with the operating conditions.When vapor quality is larger than the transition point,HTC can be promoted more remarkably at higher mass velocity or lower saturation temperature.Among the four selected correlations,KANDLIKAR correlation matches with 91.6%of experimental data within the deviation range of±25%,and the absolute mean deviation is 11.2%.Also,in terms of frictional pressure drop characteristics of flow boiling,the results of this study show that frictional pressure drop increases with mass velocity and heat flux of R245fa,while it decreases with the increment of saturation temperature.MULLER-STEINHAGEN-HECK correlation shows the best prediction accuracy for frictional pressure drop among the four widely used correlations.It covers 84.1%of experimental data within the deviation range of±20%,and the absolute mean deviation is 10.1%.

Numerical Study on Heat Transfer Enhancement for Use of Corrugated, Nodal and Horizontal Grain Tubes

With isopentane as working fluid, the heat transfer performances for corrugated, nodal and horizontal grain tubes are simulated. The structural parameters of the three kinds of tubes are compared with those of the plain tube. The numerical results using computational fluid dynamics are validated with theoretical values. For the corrugated, nodal and horizontal grain tubes, the heat transfer enhancements(HTEs) are 2.31—2.53, 1.18—1.86 and 1.02—1.31 times of those of the plain tube, respectively. However, the improved HTEs are at the expense of pressure losses. The drag coefficients are 6.10—7.09, 2.06—11.03 and 0.53—1.83 higher, respectively. From the viewpoint of comprehensive heat transfer factor, the corrugated tube is recommended for engineering applications, followed by the horizontal grain tube.

Experimental study on pressure fluctuation characteristics of slug flow in horizontal curved tubes

In order to study the pressure characteristics of slug flow in horizontal curved tubes,two kinds of curved tubes with central angle 45° and 90° respectively are studied,of which are with 0. 5m circumference and 26 mm inner diameter are used. When the superficial liquid velocity or the superficial gas velocity is constant,the pressure fluctuations and the probability distribution of the average velocity of slug flow are clear for all of the five experimental conditions. The results of experiment show that the pressure characteristics of slug flow in curved tubes have periodic fluctuations. With the rise of central angle,the period of pressure fluctuation is more obvious. The system pressure of the slug flow increases with the increasing of superficial liquid/gas velocity. Meanwhile,the probability distribution of pressure signal shows regularity,such as unimodal,bimodal or multimodal.

Test on methane flame velocity in horizontal tube with obstacles

To test flame propagation velocity of gas explosion in a horizontal tube,a set of flame velocity testing system is designed.The system is composed of two parts:a horizontal tube used for methane burning and a flame detection system.The effect of obstacles on flame propagation velocity of methane explosion is tested.Methane volume density is 10% in the tube.The obstacle is the circular ring,2 mm thick.Its blockage ratios are 40%,50% and 60%,respectively.The number of obstacles put in the tube is 1,3,5 and 7.Experimental results show that the obstacle has obviously accelerating effect on flame wave of gas explosion.As the number and blockage ratios of the obstacles increase,flame accelerating became more obviously.When there are seven obstacles,the maximum average flame velocity reaches over 351.2 m/s.When the blockage ratio of three obstacles is 60%,the maximum average flame velocity is 238.9 m/s.

Theoretical Research on R245fa Condensation Heat Transfer inside a Horizontal Tube

Numerical simulation on R245fa condensation inside an inner diameter of 8 mm horizontal tube is researched in this paper. The effect of variation in velocity, condensation temperature and superheat of inlet steam and variation in cooling water temperature on heat transfer coefficient are investigated as a parametric study. Condensation process of steam has been successfully modeled by applying a user defined function (UDF) added to the commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package. By analyzing the corresponding condensate contours and the curves of local heat transfer coefficient, the relationships between condensation heat transfer coefficient and various parameters of R245fa inside horizontal tube are obtained. It shows that the heat transfer coefficient increases by the increase in velocity, condensation temperature and superheat of inlet steam and the decrease in cooling water temperature. The errors between the heat transfer coefficient of simulation result and model of Wang and Shah are within ±30%. The parametric study will provide the basis for designing efficient heat exchangers of R245fa.

Thermal transfer experimental research of a horizontal tube evaporative condenser

The thermal resistances distribution in different wet-bulb temperatures, air velocities and spraying water densities were achieved by the experimental test. The fluctuation of the water film convection and the water-air interfacial thermal resistance were reviewed especially. In the distribution of thermal resistance, the rank of the thermal resistance proportion （from max to min） is air flow heat transfer resistance, heat transfer resistance between refrigerant and wall, water film convection resistance and wall heat transfer resistance. When the heat flux is constant, the total resistance lowers nearly along with the increasing of air flow and water spray density. But there are a best air flow value of 2.98 m/s and a best spray water density of 0.064 kg/（m ·s） respectively, if continue to increase them, condensation performance is not significantly improved any more. The test results are available to improve the evaporative condenser performance and the designing lever.

Numerical simulation of liquid falling film on horizontal circular tubes

The objective of this study is to investigate numerically the flow characteristics of falling film on horizontal circular tubes. Numerical simulations are performed using FLUENT for 2D configurations with one and two cylinders. The volume of fluid method is used to track the motion of liquid falling film and the gas-liquid interface. The effect of flow characteristics on heat and transfer coefficient may be remarkable, although it has been neglected in previous studies. The velocity distribution and the film thickness characteristics on the top tube, some special flow characteristics on the bottom tube, intertube flow modes and effect of liquid feeder height on flow characteristics have been studied. Our simulations indicate that 1） the velocity distributions of the upper and lower parts of the tube are not strictly symmetric and non- uniform, 2） the film thickness depends on flow rate and angular distributions, 3） the flow characteristics of the top tube are different from those of the bottom tube, 4） three principal and two intermediate transition modes are distinguished, and 5） the liquid feed height plays an important role on the formation of falling film. The numerical results are in a good agreement with the theoretical values by the Nusselt model and the reported results.

水平管内高黏油水环输送减阻特性分析

随着人们对于石油资源需求的日益加深,常规原油逐渐枯竭。稠油的使用会成为一种趋势,世界稠油地质储量丰富,占全球石油剩余储量的70%,具有巨大的开发潜力和广阔的市场前景,但稠油自身具有黏度高、分子量大、流动性差的特点,这些性质为稠油的输送带来了极大的困难与挑战。因此,加快我国稠油输送技术及相关理论的研究创新是适应未来趋势变化的客观要求,是经济有效地开发输送稠油资源的必然选择。本文采用水环输送法对稠油水平管流减阻,用以探究水环包裹下的稠油水平管流阻力特性,分析入口含水率(5%~80%)、油(0.65~1.57m^(3)/h)、水(0.09~2.13m^(3)/h)相流量对于水环润滑减阻效果以及稠油流型的影响,自主设计水环输送稠油实验环道,引入有效粗糙度k*,建立环状流压降预测修正模型,分析讨论流型特征及形成环状流时的油水流量范围,结果表明:在一定条件下形成的水环能够有效地对稠油输送进行减阻;水环可以有效润滑管壁;修正后的压降预测模型与实验值对比相对误差介于±10%,RMSE=0.02,水环输送压降仅占纯油输送压降的0.01~0.24;油相流量较高时应注意水相流量,避免过大导致输油效率η以及减阻率DR下降。
