The stratifi

The flow regime corresponds to the base case when no EHD field is applied. Figure 6A and B depicts the effect of mass flux on the heat tr

The results for R-134a at an applied voltage of 15 kV are presented in Table 2 for comparison. The mass transfer resistance associated with
13、 near-azeotrope R-404a is negligible. An EHD enhancement of 10.6-fold with a pressure drop penalty of 13.4-fold is obtained at a mass flux of 50 kg/(m2.s), as compared to an enhancement and penalty of 5.4-fold and 2.3-fold, respectively, at a mass flux of 300 kg/(m2.s). At lower mass fluxes, the flo
14、w is stratified and less turbulent. Higher mass fluxes with semi- annular or annular flow regimes already have high levels of turbulence at the heat transfer surface because of the increased motion and thinner boundary layer. The liquid-extraction phenomenon associated with the EHD technique makes t

Although it can barely affect the shear-dominated, thin, annular film associated with a highly turbulent flow, it has more room to affect the body-force-dominated, thick, stratified condensate film, characteristic of a lower mass flow.

In the boiler, the ammonia was evaporated to the quality desired at the inlet of the test section. After leaving the boil

Following evaporation in the test sec- tion, the two-phase ammonia mixture entered the inner tube of a coiled tube-in-tube condenser and was recondensed before returning to the pump. The bladder/accumulator assembly c

Test Sections The test sections were tube-in-tube counterflow heat exchangers with ammonia flowing in the inner tube and liquid R-134a flowing in the annulus. The dimensions of the smooth tube and the microf
26、in tube are summarized in Table 1. The test sections for both tubes were constructed with a 3.04 m (10 ft) long, 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) OD aluminum tube, which was placed inside a 19.0 mm (0.75 in.) OD outer tube. The outer tube was assembled in 0.61 m (2.0 ft) sections with compres- sion fittings. The s
27、aturation temperature of the ammonia in the test section was inferred from the saturation pressure measured with a O to 690 kPa (O to 100 psia) pressure transducer with an accuracy of kO.1 psi, located at the inlet of the test sections. The pressure drop across the test sections was measured with a
28、strain-gage-type differential pressure transducer. R-134a Loop The R-134a loop supplied the desired energy for the test sections to the ammonia.

30、. Measurements were required at low temperatures and low heat fluxes for the realistic boundary conditions obtained with a fluid-heated test section. These three constraints (low temperature, low heat flux, and fluid heating) were met by selecting R-134a as the annulus fluid. A water/glycol mixture
31、would have also been possible, but the higher viscosity would have made it more difficult to maintain turbulent flow in the annulus. The bladdedaccumulator and pressure transducer were used to control and monitor the pres- sure of the R-134a. Monitoring the pressure and temperature of the R-134a in
32、the loop ensured that the refrigerant remained liquid by maintaining the saturation temperature well above the R-134a temperatures. Thermocouples inserted into the fluid stream at the inlet and outlet of the test section were used to measure the R-134a temperature. A Coriolis flow meter with a range
33、 of O to 0.303 kgls (O to 40 lbmin) and an accuracy of *0.2% was used to record the ammonia mass flow rate. Boiler Loop The vapor quality of the ammonia entering the test section was set in the boiledpreheater. The loop consisted of a positive-displacement pump, a flow meter, and an immersion heater
34、. The boiler was a tube-in-tube heat exchanger with ammonia in the inner tube and a mixture of water and propylene glycol flowing counter to the ammonia in the annular gap. Thermocouples inserted into the fluid stream were used to measure the temperature of the water/glycol mixture entering and leav

Chiller Loop The chiller loop, which acted as the heat sink in the system, consisted of a refrigeration unit that provided 70.4 kW (20 tons) of refrigeration capacity, a 0.

The two-phase ammonia mixture leaving the test section was condensed on the tube side of a coiled tube-in-tube heat exchanger located at the exit of the test section. The cent
37、rifugal pump circu- lated the watedglycol mixture from the fluid reservoir to the heat exchanger. Data Acquisition System The outputs from the various sensors in the system were recorded with a digital multimeter connected to two switchkontrol units, each having 50 channels. A personal computer cont
38、rolled the operation of the multimeter and the switcWcontro1 units. A program was developed that monitored the mass flow rates, temperatures, and pressures in the system. Once the system reached the desired steady-state conditions, the final data acquisition program was run, which converted signals
39、to temperatures, flow rates, and pressures in the loops. The system was considered in steady-state once the refrigerant flow rate and saturation pres- sure in the test section achieved a constant value for a period of 5 min. All variables were then VOLUME 8, NUMBER 3, JULY 2002 243 scanned sequentia

Due to the intermit- tent nature of the flow patterns observed in this study, a true steady-state value could not be achieved for all points. For examp
41、le, in the dryout region at high qualities the heat transfer coef- ficient varied dramatically as the tube wetted and dried, thus making it impossible to obtain completely stable temperature readings. The average values from the 10 scans were used to cal- culate the average and sectional-average hea

DATA ANALYSIS This section describes the types of heat transfer coefficients presented in this paper, as well as the method used to calculate these values. The heat transfer coefficients referred to as average heat transfer coefficients were mea
43、sured for an inlet vapor quality of 15% and an outlet vapor quality of 95%. Sectional-average heat transfer coefficients were determined for a given mass flux, saturation temperature, and heat flux, at nominal vapor qualities of 10, 25, 50, 75, and 95%. Both average and sectional-average heat transf
44、er coefficients were calculated in the fol- lowing manner for any data run with turbulent fluid flow in the annulus. The amount of energy transferred from the R-l34a, in the annulus of the test section, to the ammonia was determined fi-om an energy balance on the R- 134a, This energy transfer can al
45、so be defined in terms of the overall heat transfer coefficient U,: where the log-mean temperature difference is defined as Equations (i), (2), and (3) can then be combined and rearranged to solve for the overall heat transfer coefficient U,. The saturation temperatures at the inlet and outlet of th
46、e test section, as determined by the pressure readings, are used in Equation (3). The annulus-side heat transfer coefficient ho was calculated using the Gnielinski (1976) cor- relation, r 1 where the leading coefficient Co was determined using a modified Wilson plot technique (Briggs and Young 1969) and Dhyd,ann was the hydraulic diameter of the annular gap.
