Book Description
Baseline tests were performed for a spray cooling system using subcooled fluid under terrestrial gravity conditions, and a steady state numerical model of the glass heater pedestal assembly was built using ANSYS finite element software. A parametric study was performed to study the effects of volumetric flow rate, heat transfer rate, and orientation with respect to gravity on the experimental system. The numerical model data was compared with the experimental data in order to determine the spray heat transfer coefficient along the top of the heated surface. For a volumetric flow range gal/hr and a heat load range of W, the estimated spray heat transfer coefficient was on the order of W/(m2-K), regardless of heater orientation. In addition, the heat lost due to conduction in the upward-facing heater pedestal was estimated using both experimental and numerical results, and was found to be 1.0 greater or less than (percent of heat loss due to conduction in glass heater pedestal assembly) greater or less than 2.5%.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Evaporative Spray Cooling for a 45 Degree Bend Near a Gas Turbine Exhaust

Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The research performed in this work investigated evaporative spray cooling systems using water near a 45 degree bends in gas turbine exhaust piping systems. Both experimental data and numerical data were generated with the goal of evaluating the ability of Fluent 6.3.26 to predict the performance of these systems for the purpose of design using only modest computational resources. Three cases were investigated in this research: single phase exhaust flow with no water injection, injecting water before the bend and injecting water after the bend. Various probes were used to measure dry bulb temperature, total pressure and water mass flux of the two phase flow at the exit of the pipe. Seven hole probes and pitot static probes were used to measure single phase flow properties. Numerical simulations were performed using mass flow boundary conditions which were generated from experimental results. A turbulence model was selected for the simulations based on comparisons of single phase simulations with experimental data and convergence ability. Using Fluent's discrete phase model, different wall boundary conditions for the discrete phase were used in order to find the model which would best match the evaporation rates of the experimental data. Mass flux values through the exit plane of the pipe were found to be the most reliable of all the two phase data collected. Results from numerical simulations revealed the shortcomings of the available discrete phase wall boundary conditions to accurately predict the interaction of the liquid phase with the wall. Experimental results for both cases showed extensive areas of the wall which had liquid film layers running down the length of the pipe. Simulations resulted in particles either failing to impact the wall and create a liquid film, or creating a liquid film which was much smaller than the film present in experimental results. This led to 8% and 15% discrepancy in evaporation amounts between numerical and experimental results for water injection upstream and downstream of the bend respectively. Under-prediction of areas wetted with a wall film in the simulations also led to gross over predictions of wall temperature in numerical results.

Design of A Microgravity Spray Cooling Experiment

Pages : 14
Book Description
An analytical and experimental study was conducted for the application of spray cooling in a micro gravity and high-g environment. Experiments were carried out aboard the NASA KC-135 reduced gravity aircraft, which provided both the microgravity and high-g environments. In reduced gravity, surface tension flow was observed around the spray nozzle, due to unconstrained liquid in the test chamber and flow reversal at the heat source. A transient analytical model was developed to predict the temperature and the spray heat transfer coefficient within the heated region. Comparison of the experimental transient temperature variation with analytical results showed good agreement for low heat input values. The transient analysis also verified that thermal equilibrium within the heated region could be reached during the 20-25s reduced gravity portion of the flight profile.
