SIMULATION OF TRANSIENT THREEDIMENSIONAL NATURAL CONVECTION AND SATURATED POOL BOILING

SIMULATION OF TRANSIENT THREEDIMENSIONAL NATURAL CONVECTION AND SATURATED POOL BOILING A threedimensional, twophase computational model for simulating boilingenhanced mixed convection in freesurface flows is presented. The associated constitutive models for the thermophysical and transport properties are described. A computational model incorporating the discreteelement analysis was used to simulate the multidimensional, twophase flow around a heated chip in a test tank filled with FreonR113. Two and threedimensional simulations of both natural convection and nucleate boiling heat transfer regimes are presented. The velocity field, the temperature distribution, and the vapour concentration profiles are evaluated and discussed. The simulated heat fluxes are compared with the available experimental data. While the heat fluxes from the twodimensional simulation agree with the fluxes calculated for the threedimensional case, the flow in the tank is essentially threedimensional. The results show that there are secondary flows which cannot be captured by a twodimensional model. The heat flux in the boiling heat transfer regime is only about ten times larger than that in the natural convection regime due to the small vapour concentration in tank. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Numerical Methods for Heat and Fluid Flow Emerald Publishing

Abstract

A threedimensional, twophase computational model for simulating boilingenhanced mixed convection in freesurface flows is presented. The associated constitutive models for the thermophysical and transport properties are described. A computational model incorporating the discreteelement analysis was used to simulate the multidimensional, twophase flow around a heated chip in a test tank filled with FreonR113. Two and threedimensional simulations of both natural convection and nucleate boiling heat transfer regimes are presented. The velocity field, the temperature distribution, and the vapour concentration profiles are evaluated and discussed. The simulated heat fluxes are compared with the available experimental data. While the heat fluxes from the twodimensional simulation agree with the fluxes calculated for the threedimensional case, the flow in the tank is essentially threedimensional. The results show that there are secondary flows which cannot be captured by a twodimensional model. The heat flux in the boiling heat transfer regime is only about ten times larger than that in the natural convection regime due to the small vapour concentration in tank.
