To improve the predictive accuracy of bubble concentration distribution, numerical study of upward turbulent channel flows laden with microbubbles is carried out and the fluid-bubble two-way coupling interaction is considered. Direct numerical simulation is used for solving the Navier-Stokes equation and Lagrangian approach is used to track the bubble trajectories through the action of forces imposed by the fluid and the gravity. The forces acted on the bubbles are drag, virtual mass, lift, wall lift, pressure gradient, and gravity. Numerical results show that the bubble concentration distribution can be predicted by using the two-way coupling of the fluid and the bubble motion, and adding the wall lift force into the bubble motion equation, and the fluid velocity, turbulence intensity and shear stresses modified by the bubble motions can also be revealed.

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.

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.

Aeration plays an important role in the treatment of activated sludge. The aeration performance is deeply affected by the movement law of bubble liquid flow in aeration tank. In order to discuss the influence of gas‐phase, liquid‐phase motions in an aeration tank on the sewage disposal, three kinds of boundaries and initial conditions were applied in the experiment to study the law of two‐phase flow. A developed two‐equation turbulence model was employed in this paper. Results obtained by experiment are compared with those from the mathematical model. It is found that the results of measurement and simulation agree with each other.

This article presents a theoretical investigation on the steady-state natural circulation characteristics of a new type of pressurized water reactor. Through numerically solving the one-dimensional steady-state single-phase conservative equations for the primary circuit and the steady-state two-phase drift-flux conservative equations for the secondary side of the steam generator, the natural circulation characteristics were studied. On the basis of the pre- liminary calculation analysis, it was found that natural circulation mass flow rate was proportional to the exponential function of the power and that the value of the exponent is related to the operating conditions of the secondary side of the steam generator. The higher the outlet pressure of the secondary side of the steam generator, the higher the pri- mary natural circulation mass flow rate. The larger height difference between the core center and the steam generator center is favorable for the heat removal capacity of the natural circulation.

Because of the practical importance of two-phase instabilities, substantial efforts have been made to date to understand the physical phenomena governing such instabilities and to develop computational tools to model the dynamics. The purpose of this study is to present a numerical model for the analysis of flow-induced instabilities in forced-convection steam generator. The model is based on the assumption of homogeneous two-phase flow and ther- modynamic equilibrium of the phases. The thermal capacity of the heater wall has been included in the analysis. The model is used to analyze the flow instabilities in the steam generator and to study the effects of system pressure, mass flux, inlet temperature and inlet/outlet restriction, gap size, the ratio of do / di, and the ratio of qi / qo on the system be- havior.

Prediction of critical heat flux (CHF) in annular flow is important for the safety of once - through steam generator and the reactor core under accident conditions. The dryout in annular flow occurs at the point where the film is depleted due to entrainment, deposition, and evaporation. The film thickness, film mass flow rate along axial distribution, and CHF are calculated in vertical upward round tube on the basis of a separated flow model of annular flow. The theoretical CHF values are higher than those derived from experimental data, with error being within 30%.
