摘要/Abstract

摘要：

环路热管是一种高效被动式相变传热装置，广泛应用于高热流电子器件散热等领域。前期研究发现将小型两相引射器与平板式环路热管耦合，可大幅提高传热性能。然而，小型两相引射器内部流动及传热机理尚不清晰，难以对新型环路热管进行正向设计与理论建模。通过数值模拟研究了汽水参数和混合腔结构对两相引射器性能及内部流场分布的影响。结果表明，喉部下游存在凝结激波，随着背压增加，其位置逐渐向喉部移动；其强度与背压、蒸汽产量、混合腔长度呈正相关，与水温呈负相关。引射器最大工作背压在40~125 kPa，与蒸汽产量和水温呈正相关，与混合腔长度呈负相关。通过大量模拟，得到了设计功率下水温和混合腔长度对引射器工作模式和压比的影响规律。

Abstract:

As an efficient passive phase-change heat transfer device, loop heat pipe (LHP) is widely used in industrial fields such as heat dissipation of high-heat-flux electronic devices. Based on previous research, flat-plate LHP coupled with a micro two-phase steam ejector can significantly improve heat transfer performance. However, the internal flow and heat transfer mechanisms of micro two-phase steam ejector were still unclear, making it difficult to perform forward design and theoretical modeling of novel LHP. The effects of steam-water parameters and mixing chamber structure on the performance and internal flow field distribution of the two-phase steam ejector were studied through numerical simulation. The results show that a condensation shock wave exists downstream of the throat. As back pressure increases, the position gradually moves towards the throat. The intensity of condensation shock wave is positively correlated with back pressure, steam mass flow rate and mixing chamber length, while negatively correlated with water temperature. The maximum back pressure of the ejector is in the range of 40—125 kPa and positively correlated with heat load and water temperature, while negatively correlated with mixing chamber length. Through extensive simulation, the influence of water temperature and mixing chamber length on the operating state and pressure ratio of two-phase steam ejector under design power were obtained.

Key words: loop heat pipe, ejector, heat transfer, two-phase flow, condensation, shock wave, numerical simulation
