3-D numerical simulations were presented for laminar flow and heat transfer characteristics in a rectangular channel with vortex generators. The effects of Reynolds number (from 800 to 3 000), the attack angle of vortex generator (from 15° to 90°) and the shape of vortex generator were examined. The numerical results were analyzed based on the field synergy principle. It is found that the inherent mechanism of the heat transfer enhancement by longitudinal vortex can be explained by the field synergy principle, that is, the second flow generated by vortex generators results in the reduction of the intersection angle between the velocity and fluid temperature gradient. The longitudinal vortex improves the field synergy of the large downstream region of longitudinal vortex generator (LVG) and the region near (LVG); however, transverse vortex only improves the syn-ergy of the region near vortex generator. Thus, longitudinal vortex can enhance the integral heat transfer of the flow field, while transverse vortex can only enhance the local heat transfer. The synergy angle decreases with the increase of Reynolds number for the channel with LVG to differ from the result obtained from the plain channel, and the triangle winglet performs better than the rectanglar one under the same surface area condition.

The focus of this paper is on the measurement and calculation model of void fraction for the vertical upward co-current air-water slug flow in a circular tube of 15 mm inner diameter. High-speed photography and optical probes were utilized, with water superficial velocity ranging from 0.089 to 0.65 m·s^(-1)and gas superficial velocity ranging from 0.049 to 0.65 m·s^(-1). A new void fraction model based on the local parameters was proposed, disposing the slug flow as a combination of Taylor bubbles and liquid slugs. In the Taylor bubble region, correction factors of liquid film thickness Cδand nose shape CZ*were proposed to calculate aTB. In the liquid slug region, the radial void fraction distribution profiles were obtained to calculate aLS, by employing the image processing technique based on supervised machine learning. Results showed that the void fraction proportion in Taylor bubbles occupied crucial contribution to the overall void fraction. Multiple types of void fraction predictive correlations were assessed using the present data. The performance of the Schmidt model was optimal, while some models for slug flow performed not outstanding. Additionally, a predictive correlation was correlated between the central local void fraction and the cross-sectional averaged void fraction, as a straightforward form of the void fraction calculation model. The predictive correlation showed a good agreement with the present experimental data, as well as the data of Olerni et al., indicating that the new model was effective and applicable under the slug flow conditions.

An experimental research on the dryout point of flow boiling in narrow annular channels under low mass flux with 1.55 mm and 1.05 mm annular gap, respectively, is conducted. Distilled water is used as working fluid and the range of pressure is limited within 2.04.0 MPa and that of mass flux is 26.069.0 kg·m(?2)·s(?1). The relation of critical heat flux (CHF) and critical qualities with mass flux and pressure are revealed. It is found that the critical qualities decrease with the increasing mass flux and increase with the increasing inlet qualities in externally heated annuli. Under the same conditions, critical qualities in the outer tube are always larger than those in the inner tube. The appearance of dryout point in bilaterally heated narrow annuli can be judged according to the ratio of qo/qi. key words: Narrow annular channel; flow boiling; Dryout point

Within the range of pressures from 23 to 30 MPa, mass velocities from 600 to 1200 kg/(m 2 s), and heat fluxes from 200 to 600 kW/m 2 , experiments have been performed for an investigation on heat transfer to supercritical water in inclined upward smooth tubes with an inner diameter of 26 mm and an inclined angle of 20° from the horizon. The results indicated that heat transfer characteristics of supercritical water are not uniform along the circumference of the inclined tube. An increase in the mass velocity of the working fluid can decrease and even eliminate the non-uniformity. Properties of supercritical fluid acutely vary with the temperature near the pseudocritical point. While the ratio of the mass velocity to the heat flux exceeded 2.16 kg/(kWs), heat transfer enhancement occurred near the pseudocritical point;conversely, heat transfer deterioration occurred while the ratio of the mass velocity to the heat flux was lower than 2.16 kg/(kWs). As the pressure increased far from the critical pressure, the amount of deterioration decreased. Correlations of heat transfer coefficients of the forced-convection heat transfer on the top and bottom of the tube have been provided, and can be used to predict heat transfer coefficient of spirally water wall in supercritical boilers.

The explicit compact difference scheme, proposed in Three-point explicit compact difference scheme with arbitrary order of accuracy and its application in CFD by Lin et al., published in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (English Edition), 2007, 28(7), 943-953, has the same performance as the conventional finite difference schemes. It is just another expression of the conventional finite difference schemes. The proposed expression does not have the advantages of a compact difference scheme. Nonetheless, we can more easily obtain and implement compared with the conventional expression in which the coefficients can only be obtained by solving equations, especially for higher accurate schemes.

Background: Hydrocarbons are increasingly being considered as potential fourth-generation refrigerants due to their environmentally-friendly properties. However, accurate prediction and calculation of their thermal properties are essential for their industrial application. Objective: In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to calculate the density, self-diffusion coefficient, viscosity and thermal conductivity of R290 at various operating temperatures of 200-240 K and pressures of 0.15 and 0.20 MPa, and 270-390 K and pressures of 1.5 and 2.0 MPa to veri-fy the feasibility of the methods. Methods: The equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation (EMD) approach was utilised. The soundness of the model and force field were verified by calculating the density of the system during the relaxation phase. In the output stage, the self-diffusion coefficient was calculated using the Einstein relation, while the viscosity and thermal conductivity were calculated using the Green-Kubo method. The simulation results were compared with the NIST data values, and the errors were analysed. Results: The density simulation results for R290 in the relaxation phase yielded an overall average absolute relative deviation (AARD) value of 3.97%. In the output stage, the simulation results for the transport coefficients of R290 showed AARD values of 7.68%, 6.60% and 11.04% for the self-diffusion coeffi-cient, viscosity, and thermal conductivity, respectively, compared to the NIST data values. Conclusion: These results indicate the feasibility of using molecular dynamics simulations to study the transport properties of hydrocarbon refrigerants. The findings also provide a foundation for future research on hydrocarbon refrigerant mixtures. Patent: The research presented in this work could serve as a valuable reference for future patent applications and technological innovations related to hydrocarbon refrigerants, particularly R290.
