Critical Heat Flux in Subcooled Flow Boiling of Water

Development of Two-phase Flow Cfd Code (eagle) with Interfacial Area Transport Equation for Analysis of Subcooled Boiling Flow

The interfacial area transport equation for a subcooled boiling flow is developed with a mechanistic model for the wall boiling source term. It includes the bubble lift-off diameter model and the lift-off frequency reduction factor model. Those models take into account a bubble’s sliding on the heated wall after a departure from the nucleate site and the coalescences of sliding bubbles. To impl...

Experimental measurement of heat transfer coefficient and mass of deposited CaSO4 in subcooled flow boiling condition

Fouling is a common, fundamental and costly problem in heat transfer systems, which reduces thermal efficiency of equipment, increases the energy loss and causes strong damage to the heat transfer equipment in various industries. The main causes of fouling on the heat transfer surfaces are salts with inverse temperature-solubility in the fluid which calcium sulfate is one of the most important ...

The Effect of Linear Change of Tube Diameter on Subcooled Flow Boiling and Critical Heat Flux

One of the major industry problems is the flow boiling, where reaching to the critical heat flux (CHF) condition can lead to a temperature jump and damage of the systems. In the present study, the effects of a uniform change in tube diameter on subcooled flow boiling and CHF was numerically investigated. The Euler-Euler model was used to investigate the relationship between the two liquid and v...

Two Phase Flow Simulation for Subcooled Nucleat Boiling Heat Transfer Calculation in Water Jacket of Diesel Engine

Basic understanding of the process of coolant heat transfer inside an engine is an indispensable prerequisite to devise an infallible cooling strategy. Coolant flow and its heat transfer affect the cooling efficiency, thermal load of heated components, and thermal efficiency of a diesel engine. An efficient approach to studying cooling system for diesel engine is a 3D computational fluid dynami...
