Abstract
Flow boiling of FC-72 in a small tube was investigated experimentally. The material of the tube was SUS304 stainless steel with an inner diameter of 1.8 mm and a length of 129 mm. The effect of flow velocity and subcooling on critical heat flux (CHF) was measured in this experiment. The flow velocity, u, was varied from 0.33 to 4.26 m/s, and the inlet subcooling degree was varied from 25 to 36 K. The heat transfer coefficients from the non-boiling to boiling region were then measured. Experimental results showed that CHF increased as flow velocity was raised, but it sharply declined above u = 3.0 m/s because of premature CHF. On the basis of the experimental data, the empirical correlation between the boiling number and Weber number was obtained. The predicted value of this correlation was in agreement with the measured data within 17%.
