Two-Phase Heat Transfer to New Refrigerants.

1994
Conference Papers

Abstract

The conversion to the new alternative refrigerants caused by the greenhouse and ozone effects is now replacing nuclear reactor analysis and safety as the major driving force in two-phase heat transfer research. Extensive studies are underway on pool boiling, single-tube condensation, boiling and condensation on tube bundles, intube boiling and condensation, effects of mixtures, two-phase flow patterns in plain and microfin tubes, and development of new higher performance heat transfer augmentations. A survey of developments is presented here.

Heat exchanger

A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between a source and a working fluid. Heat exchangers are used in both cooling and heating processes. The fluids may be separated by a solid wall to prevent mixing or they may be in direct contact. They are widely used in space heating, refrigeration, air conditioning, power stations, chemical plants, petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries, natural-gas processing, and sewage treatment.

Boiling water reactor

A boiling water reactor (BWR) is a type of light water nuclear reactor used for the generation of electrical power. It is the second most common type of electricity-generating nuclear reactor after the pressurized water reactor (PWR), which is also a type of light water nuclear reactor. The main difference between a BWR and PWR is that in a BWR, the reactor core heats water, which turns to steam and then drives a steam turbine. In a PWR, the reactor core heats water, which does not boil.

Heat pipe

A heat pipe is a heat-transfer device that employs phase transition to transfer heat between two solid interfaces. At the hot interface of a heat pipe, a volatile liquid in contact with a thermally conductive solid surface turns into a vapor by absorbing heat from that surface. The vapor then travels along the heat pipe to the cold interface and condenses back into a liquid, releasing the latent heat. The liquid then returns to the hot interface through capillary action, centrifugal force, or gravity and the cycle repeats.
