Abstract:

The boiling heat transfer characteristics of R290 in smooth horizontal copper tubes with inner diameters of 4,6 mm was investigated experimentally. The effects of mass flux, heat flux, saturated temperature and inner diameter of tube on boiling heat transfer coefficient and critical quality were analyzed. Five boiling heat transfer correlations which are suitable to predict the boiling heat transfer coefficients of R290 in horizontal tube were chosen to obtain the calculated data compared with experimental data of boiling heat transfer coefficient. The correlation with the minimum error between calculated and experimental data among these five correlations was considered as the most suitable one for the investigation. The results showed that boiling heat transfer coefficient increased with the decrease of inner diameter of tube, with the increase of mass flux, or with the increase of saturated temperature. It increased first and then decreased with the increase of heat flux while vapor quality was increasing gradually. Heat flux and inner diameter had more evident effects on critical quality than mass flux and saturated temperature. Critical quality increased with the decrease of heat flux and inner diameter. Among the five correlations, Fang correlation showed the best capacity of prediction for the boiling heat transfer coefficients.

摘要：

对内径为4、6 mm水平光滑铜管内R290的沸腾换热特性进行了实验研究，分析了质流密度、热通量、饱和温度、管径对沸腾传热系数以及临界干度的影响，选择5种适用于R290的水平光滑管内沸腾换热关联式，对实验工况下R290的沸腾传热系数进行预测，并与实验值对比。结果表明，管径越小、质流密度越大，或者饱和温度越高，则沸腾传热系数越大；在干度逐渐增大的过程中，沸腾传热系数随热通量的增大先增大后减小。热通量、管径相比质流密度、饱和温度对临界干度的影响更明显，且热通量越大，临界干度越小；管径越小，临界干度越大。5种关联式中，Fang关联式的预测能力最佳。
