Experimental Investigation and CFD Simulation of Cryogenic Condenser

In this research, experimental investigation and the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of a cryogenic condenser for oxygen liquefaction was carried out. The liquid nitrogen used as cooling fluid. section, three-dimensional model with structured mesh high quality aspect ratio skewness considered. multi-phase flow inside studied numerically, using volume (VOF) method. This work also examined assessment vapor generation rate during condensation oxygen, based on boiling heat transfer mechanism unique physical characteristics. experiment conducted to examine results. effect height mass flows investigated dynamics (CFD). average deviation CFD predictions from available 17%.
