Abstract | Experiments of highly subcooled nucleate pool boiling of FC-72 with dissolved air were studied both in short-term microgravity condition utilizing the drop tower Beijing and in normal gravity conditions. The bubble behavior and heat transfer of air-dissolved FC-72 on a small scale silicon chip (10 x 10 x 0.5 mm(3)) were obtained at the bulk liquid subcooling of 41 K and nominal pressure of 102 kPa. The boiling heat transfer performance in low heat flux region in microgravity is similar to that in normal gravity condition, while vapor bubbles increase in size but little coalescence occurs among bubbles, and then forms a large bubble remains attached to the heater surface during the whole microgravity period. Thermocapillary convection may be an important mechanism of boiling heat transfer in this case. With further increasing in heat flux to the fully developed nucleate boiling region, the vapor bubbles number as well as their size significantly increase in microgravity. Rapid coalescence occurs among adjacent bubbles and then the coalesced large bubble can depart from the heating surface during the microgravity period. The reason of the large bubble departure is mainly attributed to the momentum effects caused by the coalescence of small bubbles with the large one. Hence, the steady-state pool boiling can still be obtained in microgravity. In the high heat flux regime near the critical heat flux, significant deterioration of heat transfer was observed, and a large coalesced bubble forms quickly and almost covers the whole heater surface, leading to the occurrence of the critical heat flux in microgravity condition. |
