Boiling heat transfer characteristics of nitrogen in a thermosiphon condenser-reboiler.

Author(s) : SAKAUE S.

Summary

An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the boiling heat transfer characteristics in a plate-fin thermosiphon condenser-reboiler of air separation plants. The test section is 0.106 m width and 2.56 m length. A testing fluid is nitrogen. Experiments were carried out within a range of pressures from 150 to 300 kilopascals, submergence from 1.95 to 2.80 m and heat fluxes up to 11 kilowatts/m2. The boiling heat transfer coefficients obtained from the experimental results showed reasonable agreement with the predictions by Chen's correlation with Colburn's J factor within a mean deviation of 9.3%.
