Estudo da transferência de calor e queda de pressão na ebulição do r-600a em mini canais paralelos
Descrição
This work presents an experimental study of heat transfer and drop pressure in flow boiling of the isobutane, R-600a, in a 7 mini channel of 1,47 mm hydraulic diameter. The tests were performed a boiling with a saturation temperature of 22 °C and saturation pressure of 302 kPa, with a mass velocity between 50 and 200 kg/(m²s) and heat fluxes in the test section between 7 and 40 kW/m². In the tests, it was found that the heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing heat flux and mass velocity has more influence at low quality. The heat transfer coefficient achieved values around 3.200 W/(m²K) for the condition of greater flow and heat flux. The drop pressure was increase by increasing the mass velocity and quality in all tests, while the heat flow have any influence on the drop pressure to the greater mass velocity. The friction drop pressure represented to 93.7% of the total loss. As well analyzed the flow patterns, and observing the patterns of isolated bubbles, plugs/slugs, intermittent and annular, and that the pattern of isolated bubbles were observed for low quality and heat flux and the annular pattern was present for quality from 0.13.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
