A Study of Liquid Spray Cooling

Abstract
Spray cooling is frequently encountered in a number of engineering applications. An experimental study was made to investigate the effect of liquid sprays used to cool a hot surface. Both pure water and R-134a were served as a working medium sprayed from a single circular nozzle onto a Pt plated surface of an electrically heated surface. Spray cooling tests were performed for steady state and transient experiment. Cooling characteristics curves were obtained over a range of Weber number(Water¡G80¡B148¡B231¡AR-134a¡G50¡B96¡B152),pressure drop of liquid(0.1Mpa¡B0.15Mpa¡B0.2Mpa),degree of subcooling (Water¡G55¢J¡B60¢J¡AR-134a¡G2¢J¡B4¢J) and initial temperature(Water¡G240¢J¡AR-134a¡G60¢J). Thermal design data of high performance as well as more and further physical insight of the above-stated spray cooling heat transfer can be acquired. The results will hopefully be helpful not only for the academia but for the industry.
