Effect of Inclination Angle on Heat Transfer in Upward Bubbly Flow in a Pipe
摘要
Abstract
Experimental study on heat transfer in bubbly flow in an inclined pipe was performed. The angle of pipe inclination varied from 12° to 80° relative to horizontal. Experiments were performed for two values of superficial liquid velocity. It was shown that the highest values of heat transfer correspond to intermediate angles of inclination. The addition of gas phase results in a significant increase of heat transfer even at low gas flow rates. Results obtained are qualitative similar to those obtained in an inclined rectangular channel. However, the quantitative data are different due to different geometry of the inner wall of the channel.
