| Research Abstract |
(1) OBJECTIVE : This study is concerned with the heat transfer characteristics of two-phase flow in evaporating tubes. The analogy between momentum and heat transfer is well established for single-phase flow. To predict the heat transfer coefficient in steam generators, application of the analogy between momentum and heat transfer for two-phase flow was proposed. The Validity of the analogy was investigated by experiments for air-water, steam-water and other two-phase systems.
(2)APPROACH : The following three experimental projects were conducted. Based on the experimental data, numerical calculation was carried out. 1. Heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop and void fraction were simultaneously measured. From the analogy the heat transfer coefficient was correlated with the two-phase multiplier of frictional pressure loss by using the void fraction. The validity of this correlation was clarified in annular flow region. 2. To measure void fraction of evaporating flow of refrigerant, multiple optical fiber probe was developed. Profiles of void fraction in a cross section were measured for various flow regime. 3. Convective boiling heat transfer characteristics were investigated by experiment for steam-water flow. In high quality region where nucleate boiling was suppressed, proposed relationship of the analogy was valid. 4. Numerical calculation was carried out for two-phase annular flow by using a turbulence model for single-phase flow. Agreement between experiments and calculation was fairly well for velocity profiles of air-water flow. As for the heat transfer coefficient of boiling flow satisfactory results were not obtained.
