摘要
The influence of metal foam on heat transfer characteristics of refrigerant and oil mixture flow boiling inside circular tubes was experimentally investigated on two horizontal circular tubes filled with 5 PPI and 10 PPI copper foams, respectively. The experimental conditions include saturation pressure of 995 kPa, mass flux from 10 to 30 kg m(-2) s(-1), heat flux from 3.1 to 9.3 kW m(-2), inlet vapor quality from 0.175 to 0.775 and oil concentration from 0% to 5%. The experimental results reveal that metal foam enhances the flow boiling heat transfer coefficient of refrigerant by a maximum of 185%, while the enhancement effect of metal foam is weakened at oil presence conditions. A new correlation is developed, which can agree with 98% of the experimental data within a deviation of +/- 30%. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
