Item type:Publication, Pool boiling heat transfer enhancement of distilled water with passive rotating blades installed above the heating surface(2017-01-01); ; Wongwises, SomchaiThis study examined the pool boiling heat transfer of distilled water on a copper heating surface with passive rotating blades installed above the heating surface. The rotating blades were made from copper material, with a diameter of 30 mm, a core of 5 mm, a length of 50 mm, and a blade angle of 90°. The number of blades in this experiment varied between 2, 3, and 4. The study examined the effects of a varying number of blades and the distance between the heating surface and rotating blades (L<inf>SB</inf>) on the pool boiling heat transfer coefficient. The experimental results show that, when compared under the same conditions, the rotor with four blades yielded a higher heat transfer coefficient than those with two and three blades. This is because the added blades increased the area that received strike force from the bubbles. As a result, the rotating blades created more disturbance of the working fluid over the heating surface. Furthermore, when compared with the same number of blades, the L<inf>SB</inf> of 5 mm yielded a higher heat transfer coefficient than the L<inf>SB</inf> of 15 or 25 mm. This is because the increased L<inf>SB</inf> provided less chance for the bubbles to strike the rotating blades. Hence, the rotating blades did not create a disturbance of the working fluid over the heating surface. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Two-phase heat transfer behaviors of r-134a refrigerant and air-water mixture in A 1 MM internal diameter tube(2016-01-01); ;Wongwises, Somchai; ;Benjawun, PhakkhananFlow boiling of R-134a refrigerant was experimentally conducted in a test section which is a stainless steel tube having internal diameter of 1 mm. The DC power supply was connected to the test section to provide constant surface heat flux conditions. Flow pattern and heat transfer data were obtained for a mass flux range of 252-820 kg/m2s, a heat flux range of 1-21 kW/m2 and a saturation pressure of 8 bar. The flow visualization results showed four different flow patterns including slug flow, throat-Annular flow, churn flow, and annular flow. The flow boiling heat transfer behaviors were also compared with those based on non-boiling two-phase air-water flow in the same test section under constant surface heat flux conditions. For non-boiling two-phase flow experiment, an airwater T-shaped mixer was served to introduce fluids smoothly along the test section. The results indicated that based on the same gas and liquid Reynolds numbers, flow boiling tends to have Nusselt number higher than that for non-boiling gas-liquid flow. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A critical review of recent investigations on two-phase pressure drop in flow boiling micro-channels(2012-01-01); Wongwises, SomchaiTwo-phase pressure drop during flow boiling has been studied for several decades. Obviously, the publications available on micro-channels are relatively small compared with those for ordinarily sized channels. Although the use of micro-channels yields several advantages, the pressure drop taking p lace in these extremely small channels is higher than that in the ordinarily sized channels because of the increased wall friction. The knowledge of the two-phase pressure drop characteristics in addition to heat transfer phenomena is essential to the design and evaluation of the micro-systems. In this paper, recent research on the flow boiling pressure drop in micro-scale channels is reviewed. The experimental results as well as the relevant prediction methods based on different researchers are presented. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, An experimental investigation of gas-liquid heat transfer in rectangular micro-channels(2013-12-01); ;Wongwises, Somchai ;Kuaseng, Piyawat ;Nuibutr, ChompunutChanphan, WattanaThe investigations of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of non-boiling air-water flow in micro-channels are experimentally studied. The gas-liquid mixture from y-shape mixer is forced to flow in the 21 parallel rectangular micro-channels with 40 mm long in the flow direction. Each channel has a width and a depth of 0.45 and 0.41 mm, respectively. Flow visualization is feasible by incorporating the stereozoom microscope into the camera system and different flow patterns are recorded. The experiments are performed under low superficial velocities. Two-phase heat transfer gives better results when compared with the single-phase flow. It is found from the experiment that heat transfer enhancement up to 53% is obtained over the single-phase flow. Also, the change in the configuration of the inlet plenum can result in the different two-phase flow mechanisms. Copyright © 2013 by ASME. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Flow boiling heat transfer characteristics of R-134a in horizontal and vertical mini-channels(2010-12-01); ;Kaew-On, JatupornWongwises, SomchaiHeat transfer experiments are carried out to obtain the data of R-134a during flow boiling in a circular mini-channel having a diameter of 1.75 mm and a length of 600 mm. The DC power supply generating 80 A at 12 V is used to apply heat to the test section. T-type thermocouples are installed at the inlet and outlet of the test section to measure the system temperature. The 10 thermocouples are installed on the top and bottom sides at equal distances along the tube to measure the wall temperature. Variable area type flow meters calibrated specially in the range 0.02-0.2 LPM for R-134a by the manufacturer are used to measure the refrigerant flow rate. A transparent tube is installed to match up with the test section outlet and to serve as a viewing window for visualisation. Two sets of the horizontal flow and vertical upward flow data are analysed. Flow regime map and heat transfer coefficient tend to be dependent with flow direction under the certain experimental conditions.

Item type:Publication, Two-phase flow of R-134a refrigerant during flow boiling through a horizontal circular mini-channel(2011-09-01); ;Kaew-On, JatupornWongwises, SomchaiThis research focuses on heat transfer to R-134a during flow boiling in a 1.75. mm internal diameter tube. Flow visualisation and heat transfer experiments are conducted to obtain heat transfer coefficients for different flow patterns. The measured data in each flow regime are compared with predictions from a three-zone flow boiling model. The calculations are in fair agreement with the experimental results which correspond in particular to slug flow, throat-annular flow and churn flow regimes under conditions of low heat flux. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Flow pattern, void fraction and pressure drop during adiabatic two-phase gas-liquid flow in vertical micro-channel(2012-12-01); Wongwises, SomchaiThe experimental investigation is performed to study twophase flow pattern, void fraction and pressure drop characteristics in a vertical micro-channel. The test section is a fused silica tube with a diameter of 0.53 mm and a length of 320 mm. Air and water are used as working fluid which is introduced to the test section in vertical upward direction. The test runs are done at superficial velocities of gas and liquid ranging respectively from 0.375 to 21.187 m/s and 0.004 to 2.436 m/s. Stereozoom microscope mounted together with camera are employed to conduct flow visualization from which slug flow, throat-annular flow, churn flow, annular flow and annular-rivulet flow are observed. Based on image analysis, void fraction data are obtained and found to be linear relationship with volumetric quality. The frictional pressure drop is relatively high when the formation of churn flow is established. Besides, the two-phase frictional multiplier is found to be strongly dependent on both mass flux and flow pattern. Copyright © 2012 by ASME. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Number of blades of rotating blades affecting the boiling heat transfer enhancement of distilled water(2019-09-09); ; ;Kawahara, A.Wongwises, S.This study examined the nucleate pool boiling characteristics of distilled water attached to a heating surface with a horizontal circular plate above which the rotating blades were installed. The experiments were performed to explore the effects of number of blades as well as the visualization of pool boiling phenomena on nucleate boiling heat transfer characteristics. The rotating blades were made from copper material, with the number of blade of 2, 3 and 4 blades. The results showed that, the rotor with 4 blades yielded a higher heat transfer coefficient than those with 2 or 3 blades. This is because the increased number of blade provided more chance for the bubbles to strike the rotating blades. Hence, the rotating blades did create a commotion of the working fluid above the heating surface. Camera frames were captured using an Aos Promon Studio at the heat fluxes of about 160-610 kW/m<sup>2</sup> to identify the location of bubble nucleation for each configuration. The photographic observations showed that, the pool boiling phenomenon with the heat flux value of about 160 kW/m<sup>2</sup> corresponded to the isolated bubble, and the boiling characteristic with the heat flux value of about 610 kW/m<sup>2</sup> were based on the column regime. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The difference in flow pattern, heat transfer and pressure drop characteristics of mini-channel flow boiling in horizontal and vertical orientations(2018-04-01); ; Wongwises, SomchaiFlow pattern, heat transfer, and pressure drop data for different flow orientations was presented in this study. The data was obtained based on flow boiling experiments with R-134a flow through a 1 mm diameter channel which was aligned in different orientations, i.e. horizontal flow, vertical upward flow, and vertical downward flow. A constant surface heat flux condition was performed under a saturation pressure of 8 bar, a heat flux range of 1–60 kW/m<sup>2</sup>, and a mass flux range of 250–820 kg/m<sup>2</sup>s. The experimental results showed the importance of the change in the flow direction. The shape of the gas slug during horizontal flow did not look the same as in the vertical orientations. Heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop became increased when the refrigerant flowed in the vertical downward direction. The experimental data was also compared with the existing prediction methods. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A critical review of recent investigations on flow pattern and heat transfer during flow boiling in micro-channels(2012-01-01); Wongwises, SomchaiA summary of recent research on flow boiling in micro-channels is provided in this article. This review aims to survey and identify new findings arising in this important area, which may contribute to optimum design and process control of high performance miniature devices comprising extremely small channels. Several criteria for defining a micro-channel are presented at first and the recent works on micro-scale flow boiling are subsequently described into two parts including flow visualization and two-phase heat transfer. The results obtained from a number of previous studies show that the flow behaviours and heat transfer mechanisms in micro-channels deviate significantly from those in ordinarily sized channels. Future research with numerous aspects of flow boiling phenomena necessary to answer the fundamental questions is still required.
