Flow vaporization of CO2 in microchannel tubes. 2. Heat transfer, pressure drop, and correlation.

Author(s) : PETTERSEN J.

Summary

Heat transfer coefficient and pressure gradient during flow vaporization of carbon dioxide was measured in an extruded microchannel tube with 25 flow channels with a diameter of 0.8 mm and a length of 0.5 m. Measurements were conducted at varying vapour fractions at temperatures ranging from 0 to 25 °C, mass flux from 190 to 570 kg.m-2.s-1, and heat flux from 5 to 20 kW.m-2. Frictional pressure drop data can be correlated well with an existing model developed for vertical flow. Heat transfer data can be correlated reasonably well with a combination of models for nucleate boiling, convective evaporation, dryout incipience, and post-dryout heat transfer.
