Vertical Tubes

A simple method has been developed to model boiling heat transfer from a heat exchanger to pools using the experimental data available in the literature without modeling the flow dynamics of the pool. In this approach the heat flux outside vertical tubes is expressed as a function of outside wall temperature of the tubes and saturation temperature of the pool at or near atmospheric pressure.

Passive Cooling System

Recently vertical or horizontal type condensation heat exchangers are being studied for the application to secondary passive cooling system of nuclear plants. To design vertical condensation heat exchanger in water pool, a thermal sizing program of condensation heat exchanger, TSCON (Thermal Sizing of CONdenser) was developed in KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). In this study, condensation heat transfer correlation of TSCON is evaluated with the existing experimental data set to design condensation heat exchanger without non-condensable gas (pure steam condensation). From the investigation of the existing condensation heat transfer correlation to the existing experimental data, the improved Shah correlation showed most satisfactory results for the heat transfer coefficient and mass flow rate in a heat exchanger in both subcooled and saturated water pools without the presence of non-condensable gas.

Balance Error

The reliability of experimental data are important for heat exchanger design and evaluation. In the present paper, we extended the concept of Critical Heat Balance Error (CHBE) to a general imbalanced heat exchanger with thermal capacity ratio great than 1. Based on the principle of positive entropy generation in experiment, were analytically expressed the CHBE under the influence of different thermal capacity ratios. Interestingly, we found the same analytical expression as previous research which is, CHBE = −(1 − τ)(1 − ε), where ε and τ are heat exchanger efficiency and inlet temperature ratio, respectively. Therefore, we claim this analytical filter can be used for a general heat exchanger with any thermal capacity configuration.
