摘要
The boiling heat transfer characteristics of R290 in horizontal micro-fin copper tubes with inner diameter of 4mm and 6mm were investigated experimentally. And the effects of mass flux(100-250 kg•m-2•s-1),saturation temperature(7-11℃),heat flux(13-24 kW•m-2),tube type and vapor quality(0.1-0.9) on the boiling heat transfer coefficient and critical quality were analyzed.The results showed that the boiling heat transfer coefficient increased with the increase of mass flux or saturation temperature. The boiling heat transfer coefficient increased at first but then decreased as the increase of heat flux. And the results also showed that critical quality decreased with the increase of heat flux. Comparing to the smooth tube, micro-fin had a larger critical quality. With the increase of vapor quality accompanied by the heat absorbing boiling process of R290, the boiling heat transfer coefficient increased at first but then decreased. Six commonly used correlations of boiling heat transfer were used to predict the boiling heat transfer coefficient of R290. Comparing with the experimental results, the prediction accuracy of Fang et al. and Choi et al. was higher. © All Right Reserved.
