Study on the Influence of the Microgravity on the Flow and Heat Transfer Characteristics of Gas–Liquid Two-Phase Flow in Evaporator
In a microgravity environment, the flow pattern, flow characteristics, and heat transfer characteristics of gas–liquid two-phase flow are different from those in a normal gravity environment. To study the influence of microgravity on the flow and heat-transfer characteristics in an evaporator, this study develops a flow and heat-transfer model in an evaporator based on a previously proposed microgravity solution where the refrigerant and lubricating oil are mixed. This work also examines the flow and heat-transfer characteristics of gas–liquid two-phase flow in an evaporator with gravity of 10–6-10−3 g and studies the influence of lubricating-oil content on the flow and heat-transfer characteristics of mixed two-phase flow in the evaporator. The results show that when gravity is equal to 10−3 g, the gas volume fraction at the outlet is between 0.6 and 0.7, and when gravity is decreased to 10–6 g, the gas volume fraction at the outlet of the evaporator, after gradually decreasing, comes close to a zero gravity-state. In addition, the gas volume fraction remains between 0.3 and 0.6. It can also be seen that when gravity increases, the heat-transfer coefficient increases nearly linearly and reaches a maximum value of 14.013 W/(m2·K) and 16.066 W/(m2·K) when the lubricating oil content is 2% for normal gravity, and 4.443 W/(m2·K) and 5.519 W/(m2·K) when the lubricating oil content is 2.5% for microgravity.
