A new method of multiphaseflow measurements that based on the “extracting and separating method” was proposed in this paper. An extraction flow (or sample) is diverted in a manner of time sharing or full stream batch sampling, then the sample is separated into single phase flows and metered with conventional flow meters, the total flow rates of each phase are determined according to the metered values and the extraction ratios. Because the full stream is conducted to the extraction loop during sampling, no matter what the flow regime of multiphaseflow is, the extracted stream (or sample) is always the representative of the total stream and the extraction ratio can keep stable. Experiments were conducted in an air‐water‐oil flow test loop, the inside pipe diameter of the test loop was 50 mm, and the superficial gas velocity varied from 4.5 m/s ∼22m/s, the liquid superficial velocity was in the range of 0.02∼0.3m/s, the oil concentration was in the range of 0.0%∼60% by volume. The flow pattern occurring during the experiments included stratified flow, wave flow and annular flow. The experimental results shown that the full stream batch sample method is feasible to measure the multiphaseflow rate, and the average error of flow rates measurements for each phase was less than 3.82%.

A viscous Kelvin-Helmholtz criterion of the interfacial wave instability is proposed in this paper based on the linear stability analysis of a transient one-dimensional two-fluid model. In thismodel, the pressure is evaluated using the local momentum balance rather than the hydrostatic approximation. The criterion predicts well the stability limit of stratified flow in horizontal and nearly horizontal pipes. The experimental and theoretical investigation on the effect of pipe inclination on the interfacial instability are carded out. It is found that the critical liquid height at the onset of interfacial wave instability is insensitive to the pipe inclination. However, the pipe inclination significantly affects critical superficial liquid velocity and wave velocity especially lor low gas velocities.

The utilization of solar heat and waste heat in order to energize absorption chillers is an important issue for increasing the energy efficiency of cooling machines. A compact pump-free LiBr absorption refrigeration system (without the generator-pump, the evaporator-pump and the absorber-pump) driven by solar energy is designed and reconstructed. The required minimum driving temperature of the heat source is only 68°C compared to above 100°C in traditional absorption refrigeration systems. This paper aims to present the effects of various running parameters on the heat transfer performance of a solar refrigeration system, and typical experimental data. The phase change heat transfer is intensified in both the lunate channel of the thermosiphon elevation tube and the second generator. In this way, the two-phase solution is elevated continuously without pumps with a low driving temperature. The structure of the overflow-type spray system is optimized to make the aqueous solution of LiBr be absorbed and to make the condensate be evaporated in a once-through spray. Therefore, the aqueous solution in the refrigeration system can be in steady continuous absorption and evaporation without the absorber pump and the evaporator pump. In a cross-flow horizontal falling film heat exchanger, the staggered coil is wrapped with the mesh screen to hold up more liquid film. The performance of the heat and mass transfer is improved due to an increase in the wet ratio of the surface. Based on the heat and mass transfer theory of falling film absorption, an experimental study is carried out to analyze the performance of the refrigeration system. An experimental investigation is undertaken to characterize the effects of the absorption pressure, the inlet temperature of the solution, and the inlet temperature of the cooling water on the heat and mass transfer in the absorption process. The implications of the data are discussed in detail.

The Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation of a dilute surfactant solution is conducted in a steady shear flow. The rodlike micelle is assumed as a rigid rod composed of lined-up beads. A novel intercluster potential model is introduced for describing the interactions between, micelles. In the model, the Lennard-Jones and the soft-sphere potentials are used as inter-bead potentials for end-end and interior-interior beads, respectively. The micelles are combined at their ends to form a network structure at lower shear rates and are disconnected to become more and more parallel to the shear flow direction with increasing shear rate. The change of micellar microstructures with the variation of the shear rate results in shear thinning characteristics of the computed shear viscosities and first normal stress difference coefficients. The effects of surfactant solution concentration on the micellar structures and rheological properties are also investigated. Results show that the shear viscosities and the first normal stress difference coefficients increase with increasing the viscosity of the surfactant solution.

Periodically fully developed convective heat transfer characteristics in a two-dimensional wavy channel are investigated numerically with a constant wall temperature. The calculations are performed with Pr=0.7, Re=20-500 on non-orthogonal non-staggered grids generated by an elliptic equation system. A semi-implicit method for pressure linked equations revised (SIMPLER) algorithm in curvilinear body-fitted coordinates is employed. Effects of Reynolds number and geometric parameters, such as aspect ratio φ and shape ratio γ, on heat transfer and friction factor are studied. It shows that no recirculation region occurs through the whole channel at low Reynolds numbers, small aspect ratio or small shape ratio. With the increase of Reynolds number, aspect ratio or shape ratio, heat transfer is enhanced due to flow recirculation. Corresponding friction factor increases simultaneously.

In this paper, we provide a method which can be used to measure the viscosity coefficient of the liquid under high-pressure condition and low-boil substances using inclined tube, and measurement system was designed and constructed. The kinematic viscosity coefficients of pure water which is the standard substance to calibrate viscosity measurement system were measured to verify the accuracy and reliability of the experimental system. The measurement results show that the absolute average of relative deviations is 0.65%. Then the kinematic viscosity coefficients of the saturated liquid of the low-boil substance, R134a were also measured to detect the measurement system.

A direct numerical simulation of a fully developed turbulent flow and heat transfer in a square duct is studied based on high resolution finite difference scheme. The flow and temperature fields are obtained at a turbulent Reynolds number of 400 based on the mean friction velocity and the hydraulic diameter, and the Prandtl number (Pr) of 0.71. Two kinds of point-stencil method are used for the spatial derivatives of the pressure Poisson equation, i.e. the second-order and fourth-order central difference, respectively. The results show that satisfactory solutions can be obtained in the present DNS simulation with coarse grids compared with the method of second-order central difference. And the solutions from the two kinds of point-stencil method for pressure Poisson equation are consistent with the second-order central difference being more economical in saving computation time.

In bubbly two‐phase flow, the gas phase and liquid phase have different flow fields. The mathematical expression for the motion of a small bubble at low Re number has been already established, the liquid velocity along the trajectory of the bubble is calculated inversely by using the motion equation. Whole field liquid flow structure has also estimated using a spatial and/or temporal interpolation method. This paper proposes an algorithm for estimating the liquid phase flow field based on measurement data on bubble data on bubble motion. The applicability of the algorithm is examined with Taylor‐Green vortex flow as an analytical test case. Meanwhile, The result, based on the theory, has been applied to reconstruct liquid phase velocity field by using the data of bubble velocity in an aeration tank.

Presents a set of data for flow and heat transfer of finned-tube bundle under the condition of high air flow velocity. Air flow and heat transfer over a 4 × 4 ( columns × rows) finned-tube heat exchanger with rectangular fins was investigated experimentally in a wind tunnel with constant wall temperatures condition. The air flow velocity based on the minimum flow cross-section area over flow channel ranged from 13.8 to 50. 2 m/s, the heal transfer rate ranged from 21.8 to47. 1 kW, and the air temperatures increase ranged from 10. 9 to 19. 8 ℃. The present results were compared with results calculated from correlations proposed by CSPE. For air flow velocity less than 25 m/s, these two results of heat transfer agreed well with each other, whereas for larger velocity, our test data disagreed with the CSPE correlations. For the friction factor, present data are much higher than the predicted results in the whole range. Finally, correlations for friction factors and heat transfer coefficients are DrODosed based on the experimental results.
