Therefore, studying the impact of the working fluid on the operational state of high-filling-ratio TPLTs is crucial for understanding their heat transfer mechanisms. In this paper, comprehensive experiments were conducted on TPLT filled with H<sub>2</sub>O and R134a as working fluids in a wide filling ratio range (30 % -90 %), and their heat transfer performance and flow characteristics were compared. Heat transfer diagram, two-phase flow pattern diagram, and the distribution of gas-liquid two-phase of the TPLT was established with different filling ratio and heat input. Due to differences in latent heat of vaporization, the maximum heat transfer capacity of the H<sub>2</sub>O-TPLT (390 W/cm<sup>2</sup>) is greater than that of the R134a-TPLT (270 W/cm<sup>2</sup>). In the H<sub>2</sub>O-TPLT, the predominant large-volume slug flow leads to significant flow resistance. Whereas in the R134a-TPLT, the flow pattern is primarily dominated by small-volume bubbly flow and churn flow, resulting in low resistance. High viscosity and flow pattern in the H<sub>2</sub>O-TPLT cause oscillation phenomena, leading to significant temperature and pressure fluctuations. Under high filling ratio, both types of TPLT experiences geyser boiling phenomena causing periodic temperature and pressure fluctuations and flow pattern changes. In summary, R134a is the preferred working fluid when heat transfer requirements are met, as it effectively reduces temperature fluctuations while dissipating heat. When exceeding the R134a-TPLT's maximum heat transfer capacity and less stringent temperature control is acceptable, H<sub>2</sub>O may serve as the working fluid.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":336,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"238 ","pages":"Article 126482"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142706931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the transient process of droplet-wall collision under film and transition boiling conditions has been investigated experimentally via the high-speed shadowgraph imaging and state-of-the-art image processing techniques. Based on intensive test conditions, the impact morphology, number, size, trajectory, ejecting angle and velocity of secondary droplets are presented and analyzed comprehensively. In experiments, distilled water was the test fluid, with initial droplets at 3 ± 0.03 mm. Droplet collision velocity was calculated based on the center distance in two pre-collision frames. The Weber number changes from 15.4 to 104.2, while the wall temperature varies from 307.6 °C to 511.8 °C. The observed collision phenomena can be divided into four types, including rebound, rebound with secondary atomization, breakup with secondary atomization, and breakup. An Improved Cascade Gaussian Fitting method (ICGF), which performs well in the dense and mutually occlusive areas, is adopted for particle identification. The statistical results show that the secondary droplet diameter mainly distributes in the range of 0.02 mm to 0.2 mm under different Weber numbers. Under similar wall temperature conditions, the number of secondary droplets and the average diameter of secondary droplets increase with Weber number. Moreover, the separation mass ratio increased from 0.18 % to 2.29 %. Specifically, it is found that the amount and size of secondary droplets decrease significantly when the boiling mode transfers from transition to film. Based on the time-resolved shadowgraph images, a four-frame optimal estimation particle tracking algorithm is used to obtain the two-dimensional trajectory of the secondary droplets. The measured velocity distributes in the range of 0.3 m/s-4.0 m/s, mainly concentrating in the range of 0.5 m/s-2.0 m/s. The number and size variation with time is also analyzed, which indicates most of the secondary droplets are generated due to the strong instability in the transition boiling states.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":336,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":"238 ","pages":"Article 126459"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142706929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accuracy of the numerical analysis is validated by comparing the experimental results of the serpentine channel with pin fins. The maximum relative errors in average temperature and pressure drop are 6.9 % and 18.6 %, respectively. The simulated temperature contours of the heating resistance closely match the experimental results. Compared with 4 conventional designs, the optimized design shows best overall performance in hydraulic and thermal performance. The results demonstrate that the topology optimized channel exhibits the best temperature uniformity and achieves the lowest average temperature, more than 10 °C lower than other designs. Furthermore, the topological channel exhibits a low pressure drop comparable to that of parallel channels. Moreover, the effects of the Reynolds number, fluid volume fraction and weighting factors on the topology results are investigated. The results indicate increasing the Reynolds number or the fluid volume fraction will expand the cooling channel area and generate more small branches, thereby enhancing thermal performance.

In this study, based on experiments and theoretical modeling of molten droplet impact dynamics, a strategy to suppress droplet overlapping fusion defects under coaxial shielding gas was proposed for the first time. Results show that at lower shielding gas rates, molten droplet retraction, recoil, and oscillation would weaken or vanish due to the oxide film's self-limiting effect. This limits the improved model's accuracy in predicting the droplet spreading factor in lower shielding gas supply rates. The weakened droplet dynamic behaviors at low shielding gas supply rates would magnify the length and height defects of droplet overlapping, which is particularly evident at a small printing step distance.
