Abstract
Pool boiling process is frequently encountered in a number of engineering applications. However, it is difficult to exactly predict the heat transfer coefficient. This is because the nucleate pool boiling phenomenon is rather complex and influenced by many factors, such as surface roughness, areas of heater, material, geometry, arrangement of heated rods, and refrigerants, etc. The key boiling parameters (bubble dynamics data) such as bubble departure frequency, diameter and active nucleation site density will be varied in such different heated surface resulting in the different effect of heat transfer. This study was performed experimentally. R-134a was used as refrigerants, and the present study is aim at providing the pool boiling data for smooth and plasma coating enhanced tube bundles. It is expected that the surface condition, amount of test tubes, geometric of bundles and different heat flux can affect the nucleate boiling heat transfer in certain degree. In addition were calculated and developed that heat transfer coefficients and relevant corrections. Furthermore, more fundamental of the physical phenomenon can be obtained. According to the results of experiments, Boiling curves and calculations of the bundle factors and geometry factors were subsequently secured. The enhanced heat transfer coefficients with coated tube bundles are 1.1-2.0 times higher than smooth tube bundles. The 1.5-2.3 and 1.1-3.8 bundle factors obtained from the smooth tube bundles and coated tube bundles respectively. The geometry factors were about 1 for all arrangements studied herein. Thermal design data of a flooded type evaporator of high performance as well as more and further physical insight of the above-stated nucleate boiling heat transfer can be acquired. The results will hopefully be helpful not only for the academia but for the industry.
