Analysis of water condensation and two-phase flow in a channel relevant for plate heat exchangers
Water vapor condensation and two-phase flow appear in plate heat exchangers being used as condensers. Analysis of water phase change and flow dynamics is an important but complicated task due to large change in water physical/transport properties across the water liquid-vapor interface boundary. In particular, a singular-link behaviour in Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations is present due to the larg...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Two-Phase Flow Characteristics in Chevron-Style Flat Plate Heat Exchangers
The purpose of this study is to investigate the two-phase flow field characteristics in flat plate heat exchangers. The main objectives are the causes of plate wetting/drying, measurement of fluid flow field characteristics, and the effects of enhanced plate passageways. Three types of passageways are being investigated: smooth-walled passageways, chevron-style passageways, and embossed (bumpy)...
متن کاملControllability of cross-flow two-phase heat exchangers
The analysis of controllability of a heat exchanger operating under two-phase conditions is performed. An evaporator operating in a vapor compression system is chosen for the analysis. A moving-boundary model is used to simulate the dynamic behavior of the evaporator. First, the controllability of the linearized model is verified. Then, it is shown that the nonlinear model can be classified as ...
متن کاملVisual Observation of Flow Regime Transition in Downward Vertical Gas-Liquid Flow Using Simple Mixer
Different flow patterns of downward gas-liquid two-phaseflow using simple mixer are studied in an experimental manner. An experimental setup is designed and fabricated to allow the visual observation of downward two-phase flow patterns and their transitions. The flow patterns are recorded by a 1200 frames per second high speed video camera. The quality of downward two-phase flow patterns photos...
متن کاملFlow Pattern and Oil Holdup Prediction in Vertical Oil–Water Two–Phase Flow Using Pressure Fluctuation Signal
In this work, the feasibility of flow pattern and oil hold up the prediction for vertical upward oil–water two–phase flow using pressure fluctuation signals was experimentally investigated. Water and diesel fuel were selected as immiscible liquids. Oil hold up was measured by Quick Closing Valve (QCV) technique, and five flow patterns were identified using high-speed photo...
