Abstract:

To investigate the factors affecting the flow boiling twophase frictional pressure drop in an array of micropinfins, the experiments were carried out in micro pin fin heat sink having cylindrical fins with height of 500 mm and diameter of 500 mm, in which twophase flow patterns with different heating powers were recorded and analyzed by the high speed camera. The experiment parameters were as follows: mass flux G=341~598.3 kg·m-2·s-1, heat flux q=20~160 W·cm-2, vapor quality x=0~0.2. The results showed that the twophase frictional pressure drop increased with the mass flux and increased linearly with the heat flux. The influence of the fluid subcooled on the two-phase frictional pressure drop was weakened gradually with the increase in vapor quality. Based on the visual observations, the bubble flow and annular flow were observed in the micro pin fin heat sink with the increase of heat flux, and the twophase frictional pressure drop in annular flow was obviously higher than that in bubble flow.
