In this paper, the boiling heat transfer test rig was designed and built, while the characteristics of boiling Heat Transfer of refrigerants in micro-channel was researched. The wall temperature of micro-channel was measured by TH5104 Infrared thermography. The results showed that there were obvious variations for wall temperature of micro-channel along the axial direction when boiling heat transfer occurred in the micro-channel. The temperature distribution affected obviously by the heat flux, mass flow rate; vapor quality and heat transfer model.

Fluid flow phenomena in micro channels received wide attention due to its high heat transfer coefficient. As a new technique in the field of micro channel phase-change heat transfer, anti-gravity flow can drive fluid flow by capillary force and create enhanced evaporation heat transfer conditions by promoting the formation of an extended meniscus in the three-phase contact-line region. Resulting from the circumferential discrepancy of degree of superheat, the radius of curvature of intrinsic meniscus decreases rapidly as liquid rising up, leading to the formation of capillary pressure gradient. With the increase of heat flux, subcooled boiling occurs and micro-bubble appears at the bottom of the fluted tube. Under the action of buoyancy and drag force, the bubble rises along the channel and at the same time grows continually for the presence of superheat until its break. This paper focuses on the numerical study of flow characteristics of anti-gravity flow in the micro channel and the influence of bubble under the subcooled boiling circumstance. The results shows that bubble plays a positive role in the formation of anti-gravity flow and the analytical expressions are presented for the rising velocity of liquid, the contact angle and the curvature of the intrinsic meniscus, which are all influenced by heat flux, superheat temperature and the geometric parameters of the channel.

The subcooled boiling heat transfer (HT) and the steady-state critical heat fluxes (CHFs) in a short SUS304-tube with twisted-tape insert are systematically measured for mass velocities (G = 4016 to 13850 kg/m2s), inlet liquid temperatures (Tin = 285.82 to 363.96 K), outlet pressures (Pout = 764.76 to 889.02 kPa) and exponentially increasing heat input (Q = Q0exp(t/τ), τ = 8.5 s) by the experimental water loop comprised of a multistage canned-type circulation pump controlled by an inverter. The SUS304 test tube of inner diameter (d = 6 mm), heated length (L = 59.5 mm), effective length (Leff = 49.1 mm), L/d (= 9.92), Leff/d (= 8.18) and wall thickness (δ = 0.5 mm) with average surface roughness (Ra = 3.18 μm) is used in this work. The SUS304 twisted tape with twist ratio, y [= H/d = (pitch of 180° rotation)/d], of 3.39 is used. The relation between inner surface temperature and heat flux for the SUS304-tube with the twisted-tape insert are clarified from non-boiling to CHF. The subcooled boiling heat transfer for SUS304-tube with the twisted-tape insert is compared with our empty SUS304-tube data and the values calculated by our and other workers’ correlations for the subcooled boiling heat transfer. The influences of the twisted-tape insert and the swirl velocity on the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHFs are investigated into details and the widely and precisely predictable correlations of the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHFs for turbulent flow of water in the SUS304-tube with twisted-tape insert are given based on the experimental data. The correlations can describe the subcooled boiling heat transfer coefficients and the CHFs obtained in this work within −25 to +15% difference.

The subcooled boiling heat transfer and the critical heat flux (CHF) due to exponentially increasing heat inputs with various periods (Q=Q0 exp(t/τ), τ=22.52 ms–26.31 s) were systematically measured by an experimental water loop flow and observed by an infrared thermal imaging camera. Measurements were made on a 3 mm inner diameter, a 66.5 mm heated length, and a 0.5 mm thickness of platinum test tube, which was divided into three sections (upper, mid, and lower positions). The axial variations of the inner surface temperature, the heat flux, and the heat transfer coefficient from nonboiling to critical heat flux were clarified. The results were compared with other correlations for the subcooled boiling heat transfer and authors’ transient CHF correlations. The influence of exponential period (τ) and flow velocity on the subcooled boiling heat transfer and the CHF was investigated and the predictable correlation of the subcooled boiling heat transfer for turbulent flow of water in a short vertical tube was derived based on the experimental data. In this work, the correlation gave 15% difference for subcooled boiling heat transfer coefficients. Most of the CHF data (101 points) were within 15% and −30 to +20% differences of the authors’ transient CHF correlations against inlet and outlet subcoolings, respectively.
