Title: The Numerical Calculation of Two-Phase Pressure Drop During Flow Boiling in the Vertical Annular Channel
Abstract:In this paper, according to a separated phase flow model for annular two-phase flow in the vertical annular channel, the liquid film thickness, void fraction and two-phase pressure drop along the flow...In this paper, according to a separated phase flow model for annular two-phase flow in the vertical annular channel, the liquid film thickness, void fraction and two-phase pressure drop along the flow channel are predicted. The calculated pressure drop values are compared with that measured in experiment in the range of mass flux from 38.8 to 163.1kg/m2s; pressure from 1.5 to 6.0 MPa; and heat flux from 4.9 to 50.7kW/m2 for inside tube and from 4.2 to 78.8kW/m2 for outside tube. It can be found that the model can predict the pressure drop well. With the mass flux increasing and the gap of the annular channel decreasing, pressure drop increases.Read More
