  • 1. Introduction & Background
  • Working principle:

Due to the influence of the surface tension, a train of vapor slugs and liquid plugs will be formed once charging a small channel by a fluid The heat will be dissipated by the oscillation of the slugs The input heat in EV section will cause the un-balance of the slugs

The surface tension, unbalanced oscillation motions define the PHP

  • 2. Simulation/Experiment
  • Fig. 1 For a vapor plug
  • Fig. 2 For a liquid slug
  • The heat transfer of the liquid plug and vapor plug are analyzed

based on the model presented

For a typical long vapor plug, the heat transfer in the liquid conduction contributes a lot. For a liquid slug, the convection heat transfer ratio is great. However, the contribution of heat transfer in meniscus also play an important role, which is greatly influenced by surface tension of the working fluid.

  • 2. Simulation/Experiment

 Theoretical analysis on the force

The length of slug/plugs are randomly and small compared with the length of pipe. So it is assumed the length distribution functions of the slugs in every single channel are the same

  • Force/Pressure drop caused by U-turn
  • Force/pressure drop by the gravity
  • Force/pressure drop by the flow resistance
  • Force/pressure drop by the capillary force

For typical liquid slug, the capillary resistance could be the same level of the gravity of the it. Meanwhile, with the decrease of the surface tension of the working fluid the ratio of the capillary tension sufficiently decrease.

  • The influence of the surfactant on the dry-out characteristics of the PHP
  • The influence of the surfactant on the dry-out characteristics of the PHP
  • 2. Simulation/Experiment

  • 3. Conclusions

For the PHP with surfactant solutions, they start at a lower heat flux. Furthermore, the temperature fluctuates at a lower level. The heat transfer performance of the PHP significantly improves by using surfactant solutions as the working fluid The experimental results indicated that the dry-

  • ut heat fluxes are higher when the working

fluids are surfactant solutions

 Decrease the superheat of the bubble  Better wetting of the wall  Decrease the capillary resistance

  • 1. Is there a ‘best condition’ or ‘dead condition’ for the PHP?

Best: making best use of the heat; Dead: the unbalanced flow is balanced Charging a pipe Plugs and slugs Oscillation motions Heat dissipated Input heat EV positive negative
