摘要

An experimental investigation of the hydrodynamic structure of a detached two-phase bubble flow and the heat exchange in a channel with an obstacle in the form of a rectangle, an isosceles trapezoid, or a rectangular trapezoid has been performed. The experiments were carried out for the flow of a liquid and with a gas content β = 0–5% at Reynolds numbers falling within the range 5000–12,500. The total hydrodynamic characteristics of this flow were measured by the PIV/PLIF method. It is shown that the introduction of bubbles into a liquid flow in the indicated channel shifts the points of its reattachment upstream, as compared to that of the one-phase flow, which is due to the increase in the velocity gradient of the two-phase liquid flow in the near-wall region of the channel. For estimating the heat exchange in the channel, the temperature of the outer wall of a heated stainless-steel plate mounted flush with the channel wall, was measured with the use of an infrared imager. It was established that the combined effect of the introduction of an obstacle into the channel and of bubbles into the liquid flowing in it makes it possible to intensify the heat exchange in the channel by 60%.
