Numerical simulation of single bubble pool boiling process including transient thermal response of solid wall is performed using the ghost fluid method and the level set method for the sharp interface representation. The results show that non-physical initial condition in the numerical simulation deeply affects the process of bubble growth, and then multi-cycle simulation is necessary to eliminate its influence. It is shown by the present results that two nucleate criteria, i.e. constant waiting time and constant nucleate superheat, for determining the appearance time for the subsequent bubble lead to the same quasi-steady process of bubble growth if they are matched with each other. A periodically expanding and receding thermal "hollow" can be observed inside solid wall underneath the growing bubble. The recovery of the temperature on the nucleate site and the thermal boundary layer near the heating surface is influenced by transient heat conduction inside solid wall, which can affect evidently bubble thermal dynamics and heat transfer.

Quantitative knowledge of the film thickness and mass fraction of the urea-water solution is very crucial in many practical applications. Film thickness or mass fraction can only be determined individually by conventional measurement techniques. We develop a novel measurement method to measure the film thickness and mass fraction of ure^water solution simultaneously. The absorption coefficients of urea-water solution (5 50 wt%) are measured, a pair of optimized wavelengths is then chosen to achieve high measurement sensitivity. Cross validation is also performed and uncertainties of the technique are smaller than 0.68% for thickness measurements and 1.86% for mass fractions.

The rheological properties of CTAC/NaSal aqueous solutions (NaSal had same molarity with CTAC.) with different concentrations were experimentally investigated at different temperatures ranging from 10°C to 70°C and different shear rates from 1 s-1 to 300 s-1. There were a critical shear rate and a critical temperature for all measured surfactant aqueous solutions with mass concentrations ranging from 0.001% to 0.015%. The effects of temperature and shearing on viscosity properties of surfactant solution varied with the concentration. Rheological characteristics of viscosity showed complex variations under the combined effects of temperatures and shearing even for the solutions with same concentration. Surfactant solution with relatively high concentration thickened for the second time when suffering from strong shearing and high temperature.

In this paper, the steam shape parameters and the condensation oscillation characteristics of the direct contact condensation of submerged steam jet into subcooled water were investigated through a side hole nozzle. Meanwhile, the dimensionless jet length and the expansion ratio versus pool water temperature and steam mass flux were obtained by measuring the photographs taken by a high speed camera. Both of them increased gradually with rise of pool water temperature and steam mass flux. A comparison of the shape parameters of three different style nozzles was also achieved. And a correlation of the dimensionless jet length was obtained, the predicted data agreed well with the experimental data, while the discrepancy was within ±5%. For the pressure oscillation versus steam mass flux, the peaks and the root mean square value of pressure oscillation were almost consistent in the range of 150-400 kgm-2s-1, while both of them increase in the range of 400-800 kgm-2s-1. The positive peak and negative peak were completely symmetrical.

Increasing attention is paid on wet gas flow measurement with V-Cone meter in the production of natural gas. Annular-mist flow is a common flow regime in the wet gas flow metering. Knowledge of the annular-mist flow such as the distributions of the pressure, the droplet and the liquid film in the V-Cone meter is critical to improve the wet gas measurement model. In this paper, a numerical method based on a three-fluid closure model of film, droplet and gas was developed to simulate the annular-mist wet gas flow in the V-Cone meter. The method agreed well with the existing correlation and the relative error of simulation data is less than ±2.5%. The distributions of the droplet, liquid film and static pressure in a V-cone meter and the results on different flow conditions were simulated with the present method. The simulations showed that under the adjustment of the V-Cone element, the droplets moved in a straight path close to the wall after the throat section and a liquid jet was formed. It continues through the diffuser and reattaches to the wall. Some droplets will re-coalescence in the downstream of the V-Cone. It was found that little droplet was entrained in the back of the V-Cone, which was benefit for obtaining the low pressure. The results of the liquid film distribution showed that the liquid film thickness on the pipe wall and the cone body was affected by both the geometry of the V-Cone and the area and strength of the low pressure domain. The pressure in the low pressure domain decreased with the liquid and gas velocity increasing, and the gas-to-liquid viscosity ratio had little effects on the pressure distribution. The downstream low pressure port justifiably locates at six or more pipe diameters downstream of the cone back face for the present V-Cone meter.

A geometric Monte-Carlo (GMC) algorithm is proposed based on accurate calculation of optical transmission on the material interface for the simulation of light propagation in turbid media (e.g. bio-tissue). Grid is not necessary for the computation of photons' motion and the memory of optical parameters can be saved. Optical transmission is exactly simulated at material interfaces with curved boundary according to the principles of geometric optics, while energy deposition in different structures can be precisely counted. The validity of GMC method is confirmed by the comparison with voxels based Monte-Carlo method. Time consumed by GMC method is dramatically shortened compared with the hexahedral voxels based Monte-Carlo (VMC) method: about 25 times faster than VMC with a grid of 140× 140× 100 cells. In addition, the present GMC method shows better portability when raising the geometric complexity.

As a kind of congenital vascular malformations, port wine stain is composed of ectatic venular capillary blood vessels buried within healthy dermis. In clinic, pulsed dye laser in visible band (e.g. 595nm) together with cryogen spray cooling have become the golden standard for treatment of PWS. However, due to the limited energy deposition of the PDL in blood, large blood vessels are likely to survive from the laser irradiation and complete clearance of the lesions is rarely achieved. Nd:YAG laser in near infrared 1064nm has deeper penetration depth in tissue, which has great potential in laser treatment of PWS. In this study, a multi-component bio-heat transfer model is developed to demonstrate the blood vessel thermal responses to two lasers. The results show that large and deeply buried blood vessels, which are likely to survive from 595nm laser irradiation, can be coagulated by 1064 nm laser. Meanwhile, the heating patterns within the vessel lumen for two lasers are also different. The 595 nm laser heated the superior portions of large blood vessels more than the inferior portions, while the 1064 nm laser produced uniform heating.
