Heat Transfer in Annular Channel With Continuous Flow Twisting

In paper the experimental results on a heat transfer in annular channels with continuous twisting at length at one- and two-phase flows are observed. For a flow twisting the wire was spirally coiled on the central body of the annular channel (diameter of a wire is equal to annular gap altitude). Results of experimental data of a heat transfer of authors and various researchers at a single phase flow in annular channels with a continuous twisting are analyzed. Sampling of diagnostic variables (equivalent diameter and velocity) is spent and generalizing associations for heat transfer calculation on the concave and convex surfaces in a single-phase phase are offered. Also the technique of definition of temperature of the subcooled flow boiling beginning on surfaces of annular channels with a twisting is offered. Features of boiling, origination of heat transfer crisis and results of visualization of a two-phase flow structure in annular channels with twisting are described.Copyright © 2010 by ASME
