TWO-PHASE FLOW IN A DIABATIC CAPILLARY TUBE.

Author(s) : PATE M. B., TREE D. R.

Summary

MANY REFRIGERATION CYCLES OPERATE USING A CAPILLARY TUBE THAT TRANSFERS HEAT TO THE SUCTION LINE. THE FLOW REGIONS IN THE CAPILLARY TUBE STARTING AT THE INLET ARE ADIABATIC SUBCOOLED, DIABATIC SUBCOOLED, DIABATIC TWO-PHASE, AND ADIABATIC TWO-PHASE. THE DIABATIC TWO-PHASE REGION IS THE MOST COMPLICATED OF THE FLOW REGIONS IN THAT FLASHING OCCURS IN CONJUNCTION WITH HEAT TRANSFER TO A WALL. IN THIS STUDY, THE THERMODYNAMIC STATE IN THE TWO-PHASE FLOW REGION OF A CAPILLARY TUBE WAS DETERMINED. THE INCREASE IN QUALITY ALONG DIABATIC CAPILLARY TUBES IS APPROXIMATELY LINEAR. THIS IS IN CONTRAST TO ADIABATIC CAPILLARY WHERE RAPID INCREASES ARE EVIDENT.
