Study on the Influence of the Microgravity on the Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Gas–Liquid Two-Phase Flow in Evaporator
In a microgravity environment, the flow pattern, flow characteristics, and heat transfer characteristics of gas–liquid two-phase flow are different from those in a normal gravity environment. To study the influence of microgravity on the flow and heat-transfer characteristics in an evaporator, this study develops a flow and heat-transfer model in an evaporator based on a previously proposed microgravity solution where the refrigerant and lubricating oil are mixed. This work also examines the flow and heat-transfer characteristics of gas–liquid two-phase flow in an evaporator with gravity of 10–6-10−3 g and studies the influence of lubricating-oil content on the flow and heat-transfer characteristics of mixed two-phase flow in the evaporator. The results show that when gravity is equal to 10−3 g, the gas volume fraction at the outlet is between 0.6 and 0.7, and when gravity is decreased to 10–6 g, the gas volume fraction at the outlet of the evaporator, after gradually decreasing, comes close to a zero gravity-state. In addition, the gas volume fraction remains between 0.3 and 0.6. It can also be seen that when gravity increases, the heat-transfer coefficient increases nearly linearly and reaches a maximum value of 14.013 W/(m2·K) and 16.066 W/(m2·K) when the lubricating oil content is 2% for normal gravity, and 4.443 W/(m2·K) and 5.519 W/(m2·K) when the lubricating oil content is 2.5% for microgravity.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
