Effect Of Surface

This paper presents three-dimensional numerical simulation results of the effect of surface tension on two-phase flow over unglazed collector covered with a wire screen. The homogenous model is used to simulate the flow with and without the effect of porous material of wire screen and surface tension. The Eulerian-Eulerian multiphase flow approach was used in this study. The phases are completely stratified, the interphase is well defined (free surface flow), and interphase transfer rate is very large. The liquid–solid interface, gas–liquid interface, and the volume fraction for both phases were considered as boundaries for this model. The results show that the use of porous material of wire screen will reduce the velocity of water flow and help the water flow to distribute evenly over unglazed plate collector. The possibility of forming any hot spot region on the surface was reduced. The water velocity with the effect of surface tension was found higher than the one without this effect, due to the extra momentum source added by surface tension in longitudinal direction. The use of porous material of wires assures an evenly distribution flow velocity over the inclined plate, therefore helps a net enhancement of heat transfer mechanism for unglazed solar water collector application.

Effect Of Surface

Air-liquid two-phase flow in a horizontal flat capillary rectangular channel has been studied to clarify the effects of concentration of surfactant solution on the flow phenomena, such as flow patterns, pressure drop, void fraction and so on. The concentrations of surfactant solution were 0, 10, 50 and 100 ppm and the surface tension of each solution was reduced to about 34mN/m from that of pure water of about 72mN/m. The dimension of the channel used was 10.0 mm × 1.0 mm. The drag reduction by mixing the surfactant was examined in both the single phase flow and the two-phase flow. The experimental data of two-phase frictional pressure drop and holdup were compared with the respective correlations which were previously proposed by the other researchers and the present authors. Finally, we proposed new correlations of two-phase frictional pressure drop and holdup in which the effect of surface tension and the aspect ratio of cross section of channel were taken into account.

Effect Of Surface

To evaluate the effect of pipe wall surface wettability on flow characteristics in a vertical upward gas-liquid two-phase flow, a visualization study was performed using an acrylic pipe and a hydrophobic pipe. Such basic flow characteristics as flow patterns, pressure drop and void fraction were investigated in these pipes. In the hydrophobic pipe, an inverted-churn flow regime was observed in a region where the churn flow regime was observed in the acrylic pipe, while a droplet flow regime was observed in the region where an annular flow regime was observed in the acrylic pipe. At a high gas flow rate, the average void fraction in the hydrophobic pipe was higher than in the acrylic pipe. The effect of surface wall wettability on frictional pressure loss was confirmed to be insignificant under the present experimental conditions.
