Abstract

A three-dimensional numerical model is established to study the flow boiling heat transfer characteristics of the liquid film in a rotating pipe, and the effectiveness of the model is verified by a comparison between the numerical results and the experimental results. The effects of rotational speed, heat flux, and Coriolis force on the characteristics of heat transfer of the rotating liquid film are investigated. The conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) The convection of the rotating liquid film is enhanced while the nucleate boiling in the rotating liquid film is inhibited by the increase in the rotational speed; (2) With the influence of these two factors, the heat transfer coefficient increases with centrifugal acceleration increasing from 20 g to 40 g, then decreases with centrifugal acceleration increasing from 40 g to 120 g; (3) The turbulent intensity of the flow with Coriolis force is obviously increased compared to that without Coriolis force when the centrifugal acceleration ranges from 20 g to 80 g, which shows no increase at higher centrifugal accelerations when the turbulence is sufficiently strong. The Coriolis force also has an impact on the heat transfer coefficient of the liquid film, which should not be ignored when studying the boiling heat transfer of a rotating liquid film.
