Abstract

A numerical investigation of the effect of vertical vibration on the pool boiling heat transfer and bubble dynamics is conducted using the Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann method. The frequency (f) was varied from 0-1000 Hz and amplitude (a) from 0-3 mm. Vertical vibration enhanced the pool boiling heat transfer performance along with the bubble dynamics. The average bubble departure diameter (D_avg) increases with an increase in frequency (f) at constant amplitude and increases with an increase in amplitude at constant frequency. The bubble departure frequency (f_b) and the total number of bubble nucleation (N_n) increase with an increase in frequency at a constant amplitude and decrease with an increase in amplitude at a constant frequency. The dimensionless average bubble departure diameter (D*), frequency of bubble growth (Sr*), frequency of bubble departure (Srt*) and total number of bubble nucleation were correlated with the dimensionless frequency expressed as Strouhal number (Sr). A maximum of 54.7 % decrement in D*, 123.2 % increase in

Sr

*, 41.13 % increment in Srt*, and 50 % increment in Nn were observed. The space–time-average heat flux (q″) and the enhancement ratio (ER) for the heat transfer coefficient increased with an increase in frequency and amplitude. A maximum enhancement of 32.24 % in critical heat flux (CHF) was obtained for f = 500 Hz and a = 2 mm. At f = 1000 Hz, the maximum enhancement was found to be 20.18 % at a = 2 mm with an associated increase in ER of 97.42 %. Overall, the optimum frequency range was found to be 100–––1000 Hz where significant enhancement in pool boiling was obtained. In this range, the vibrations were also found to assist in delaying film boiling while achieving high CHF and heat transfer coefficients. Based on the numerical results, a Nusselt number correlation has been proposed in terms of the Prandtl number, Reynolds number, and vibrational Reynolds number (non-dimensional intensity of vibration) for two different frequency ranges of f ≤ 100 Hz and 100 Hz < f ≤ 1000 Hz.

用级联晶格玻尔兹曼方法对垂直加热器振动增强池沸腾传热和气泡动力学进行了数值研究

采用级联晶格玻尔兹曼方法，对垂直振动对池沸腾传热和气泡动力学的影响进行了数值研究。频率(f)变化范围为0-1000 Hz，幅度(a)变化范围为0-3 mm。垂直振动增强了池沸腾换热性能，同时也增强了气泡动力学。气泡平均偏离直径（Davg）在恒幅下随频率(f)的增加而增加，在恒频下随振幅的增加而增加。气泡出发频率（fb）和气泡成核总数（Nn）在恒定频率下随频率的增加而增加，在恒定频率下随振幅的增加而减少。无量纲平均气泡偏离直径（D*）、气泡生长频率（Sr*）、气泡偏离频率（Srt*）和气泡成核总数与以Strouhal数（Sr）表示的无量纲频率相关。D*减少54.7%，Sr*增加123.2%，Srt*增加41.13%，Nn增加50%。时空平均热流密度（q″）和换热系数增强比（ER）随频率和振幅的增加而增大。当f = 500 Hz, A = 2 mm时，临界热通量（CHF）最大增强32.24%。在f = 1000 Hz时，发现a = 2 mm时最大增强20.18%，ER增加97.42%。总体而言，发现最佳频率范围为100 - 1000 Hz，在此范围内可以显著增强池沸腾。在这个范围内，振动还被发现有助于延迟膜沸腾，同时获得高CHF和传热系数。基于数值结果，提出了f≤100hz和100hz <； f≤1000hz两个不同频率范围内普朗特数、雷诺数和振动雷诺数（无量纲振动强度）的努塞尔数相关关系。

期刊介绍： Thermal Science and Engineering Progress (TSEP) publishes original, high-quality research articles that span activities ranging from fundamental scientific research and discussion of the more controversial thermodynamic theories, to developments in thermal engineering that are in many instances examples of the way scientists and engineers are addressing the challenges facing a growing population – smart cities and global warming – maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. It is intended that these will be of current relevance and interest to industry, academia and other practitioners. It is evident that many specialised journals in thermal and, to some extent, in fluid disciplines tend to focus on topics that can be classified as fundamental in nature, or are ‘applied’ and near-market. Thermal Science and Engineering Progress will bridge the gap between these two areas, allowing authors to make an easy choice, should they or a journal editor feel that their papers are ‘out of scope’ when considering other journals. The range of topics covered by Thermal Science and Engineering Progress addresses the rapid rate of development being made in thermal transfer processes as they affect traditional fields, and important growth in the topical research areas of aerospace, thermal biological and medical systems, electronics and nano-technologies, renewable energy systems, food production (including agriculture), and the need to minimise man-made thermal impacts on climate change. Review articles on appropriate topics for TSEP are encouraged, although until TSEP is fully established, these will be limited in number. Before submitting such articles, please contact one of the Editors, or a member of the Editorial Advisory Board with an outline of your proposal and your expertise in the area of your review.
