Modeling of Upward Subcooled Flow Boiling of Refrigerant-113 in a Vertical Annulus
In this paper, a modified two-fluid model has been adopted to simulate the process of upward vertical subcooled flow boiling of refrigerant R-113 in a vertical annular channel at low pressure. The modified model considers temperature dependent properties and saturation temperature variation and was validated against a number of published low-pressure subcooled boiling experiments. The results s...
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation on Flow Characteristics of Refrigeration/Oil Mixture in Vertical Upward Flow
Oil return from the evaporator to the compressor suction port is an important requirement. It is affected by the refrigerant/lubricant properties, gas velocities and piping geometry. The refrigerant R -134a has successfully replaced R-12 in household refrigerators and freezers. This paper describes a test method to estimate the mean oil film thickness and to observe the flow pattern in vertical...
متن کاملNumerical investigation of upward air-water annular, slug and bubbly flow regimes
In this paper, numerical investigation of upward two phase flow of air-water has been studied. Different conditions of flow regimes including annular, wispy annular, slug, churn and bubbly are simulated based on Hewitt and Roberts map, and a good agreement between the experimental data of the map and the numerical simulation has been observed. Accordingly, a proper CFD model in CFD software of ...
متن کاملCharacterisation of Marginally Turbulent Square Duct Flow
We have performed direct numerical simulation of fully developed turbulent flow in a straight duct with square cross-section. The main objective of the present study is to determine the minimal requirements for maintaining turbulence in duct flows [1]. A detailed analysis of this limit regime allows to elucidate the dominant mechanisms governing the marginally turbulent state, where the self-su...
متن کاملFluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in a curved rectangular duct using Al2O3-water nanofluid
In the present research, the laminar forced convective heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics for Al2O3-water nanofluid flowing in different bend (i.e., 180o and 90o) pipes have been investigated numerically in a three-dimensional computational domain using the finite volume technique. The effects of different pertinent parameters, such as the Reynolds number of the duct, volume fraction ...
