Flow Regime Maps

The present study is aimed at evaluating the ability of conventional “macro-pipe” correlations and regime transitions to predict the two-phase thermofluid characteristics of mini-channel cold plates. Use is made of the Taitel-Dukler flow regime maps, seven classical heat transfer coefficient correlations and two dryout predictions. The vast majority of the mini-channel two-phase heat-transfer data, taken from the literature, is predicted to fall in the annular regime, in agreement with the reported observations. A characteristic heat transfer coefficient locus has been identified, with a positive slope following the transition from Intermittent to Annular flow and a negative slope following the onset of partial dryout at higher qualities. While the classical two-phase heat transfer correlations are generally capable of providing good agreement with the low-quality annular flow data the quality at which partial dryout occurs and the ensuing heat transfer rates are not predictable by the available macro-pipe correlations.

Two Phase Heat Transfer

This study presents convective single-phase and boiling two-phase heat transfer performance of HFE-7100 coolant within multi-port microchannel heat sinks. The corresponding hydraulic diameters are 450 and 237 μm, respectively. For single-phase results, the presence of inlet/outlet locations inevitably gives rise to considerable increase of total pressure drop of a multi-port microchannel heat sink whereas has virtually no detectable influence on overall heat transfer performance provided that the effect of entrance has been accounted for. The convective boiling heat transfer coefficient for the HFE-7100 coolant shows a tremendous drop when vapor quality is above 0.6. For Dh = 450 μm, it is found that the mass flux effect on the convective heat transfer coefficient is rather small.

Two Phase Heat Transfer

Mixed Refrigerant Joule Thomson (MR-JT) refrigerators are widely used in various kinds of cryogenic systems these days. Although heat transfer coefficient estimation for a multiphase and multi-component fluid in cryogenic temperature range is necessarily required in the heat exchanger design of MR-JT refrigerator, it has been rarely discussed so far. In this paper, condensation and evaporation heat transfer coefficients of mixed refrigerant are measured in a microchannel heat exchanger. Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger (PCHE) has been developed as a compact microchannel heat exchanger and used in the experiment. Several two-phase heat transfer coefficient correlations are examined to discuss the experimental measurement results. The result of this paper shows that cryogenic mixed refrigerant heat transfer coefficients can be estimated by conventional two-phase heat transfer coefficient correlations.

Two Phase Heat Transfer

The non-boiling gas-liquid two phase flow is pertinent to industrial applications like the reduction of paraffin wax depositions in petroleum transport lines, air lift systems and the chemical processes such as ethanol-water fractionation seeking enhanced heat and mass transfer. The non-boiling two phase heat transfer mechanism in horizontal and vertical orientations has been investigated by many researchers. However, till date very little experimental work and investigation has been performed for vertical downward flow. In order to contribute more to this research and have a better understanding of the non-boiling two phase heat transfer phenomenon for this pipe orientation, experimental investigation is undertaken for a vertical downward oriented 0.01252 m I.D. schedule 10 S stainless steel pipe using air-water as fluid combination. The influence of different flow patterns on the two phase convective heat transfer coefficient is studied using experimental measurements of 165 data points for bubbly, slug, froth, falling film and annular flow patterns spanned over the entire range of the void fraction. In general the two phase heat transfer coefficients are found to be consistently higher than that of the single phase flow. This tendency is observed to increase with increase in the gas flow rate as the flow regime migrates from bubbly to the annular flow. The concept of Reynolds analogy as implemented by Tang and Ghajar [1] for horizontal and vertical upward flow is analyzed against the vertical downward flow data collected in the present study. Due to lack of correlations available for predicting the two phase heat transfer coefficient in vertical downward orientation it was decided to perform the quantitative analysis of the seventeen two phase heat transfer correlations available for vertical upward flow. This analysis is concluded by the recommendation of the top performing correlations in the literature for each flow pattern. Based on the pressure drop data and using Reynolds analogy, a simple equation is proposed to correlate the two phase heat transfer coefficient with the single phase heat transfer coefficient.
