Research on Heat Transfer Enhancement of Dielectric Fluid in Electrostatic Field

Abstract

In the paper, low temperature waste heat power generation model on the basis of Rankine-cycle is designed and constructed, and the experiments on electrostatic field enhancement condensation heat transfer and power generation are conducted. R11 is selected as the working medium. Results of the relations among the saturated vapor pressure, condensation heat transfer coefficient and other relative parameters in the different temperature, and the applied voltage have been obtained. Analysis has been conducted on the power consumption of the supplied electric field. The results are valuable for extending the theoretical investigation of electrostatic field enhancement of condensation heat transfer.
