Two-Phase: Overview • Two-Phase
– two-phase heat transfer describes phenomena where a change of phase (liquid/gas) occurs during and/or due to the heat transfer process
– two-phase heat transfer generally considers processes that occur at a solid/fluid interface and are therefore a sub-field of convection
– because of the change of phase, the latent heat (hfg) of the fluid must be considered
– the surface tension (σ) is another parameter that plays an important role
• Boiling – heat transfer process where a liquid undergoes a phase change into a
vapor (gas)
• Condensation – heat transfer process where a vapor (gas) liquid undergoes a phase
change into a liquid

Boiling: Overview • Boiling
– associated with transformation of liquid to vapor (phase change) at a solid/liquid interface due to convection heat transfer from the solid
– agitation of the fluid by buoyant vapor bubbles provides for large convection coefficients è large heat fluxes at low-to-moderate surface-to-fluid temperature differences

Boiling: Overview • Flow Cases
– Pool Boiling • liquid motion is due to natural convection and bubble-induced mixing
– Forced Convection Boiling (Flow Boiling/2-Phase Flow) • liquid motion is induced by external means and there is also bubble-induced
mixing
• Temperature Cases – Saturated Boiling
• liquid temperature is slightly higher than saturation temperature
– Subcooled Boiling • liquid temperature is less than saturation temperature

Boiling: Boiling Curve • Free Convection Boiling (ΔTe < 5 °C)
– little vapor formation – liquid motion is primarily due to buoyancy effects
• Nucleate Boiling (5 °C < ΔTe < 30 °C) – onset of nucleate boiling ΔTe ~ 5 °C (ONB) – isolated vapor bubbles (5 °C < ΔTe < 10 °C)
• liquid motion is strongly influenced by nucleation of bubbles on surface
• h and q”s increase sharply with increasing ΔTe
• heat transfer is primarily due to contact of liquid with the surface (single-phase conduction) and not to vaporization
– jets and columns (10 °C < ΔTe < 30 °C) • increasing number of nucleation sites causes bubble
interactions and coalescence into jets and slugs • liquid/surface contact is impaired by presence of vapor
columns • q”s increases with increasing ΔTe
• h decreases with increasing ΔTe

Boiling: Boiling Curve • Nucleate Boiling (5 °C < ΔTe < 30 °C)
– critical heat flux (CHF) (ΔTe ~ 30 °C) • maximum attainable heat flux in nucleate boiling • water at atmospheric pressure
– CHF ~ MW/m2
– hmax ~ 10000 W/m2-K
• Transition (30 °C < ΔTe < 120 °C) & Film Boiling (ΔTe > 120 °C) • heat transfer is by conduction and radiation across the vapor blanket • liquid/surface contact is impaired by presence of vapor columns • q”s decreases with increasing ΔTe until the Leidenfrost point corresponding to the
minimum heat flux for film boiling and then proceeds to increase • a reduction in the surface heat flux below the minimum heat flux results in a abrupt
reduction in surface temperature to the nucleate boiling regime
• Heat flux controlled heating: burnout potential • if the heat flux at the surface is controlled it can potentially increase beyond the CHF • this causes the surface to be blanketed by vapor and the surface temperature can
spontaneously achieve a value that potentially exceeds its melting point (ΔTe > 1000 °C)
• if the surface survives the temperature shock, conditions are characterized as film boiling

Condensation: Overview • Condensation
– occurs when the surface temperature is less than the saturation temperature of an adjoining vapor
– heat is transferred from vapor the surface to the surface
• Film Condensation – entire surface is covered by the condensate which flows
continuously from the surface and presents a thermal resistance to heat transfer from the vapor to the surface
• typically due to clean, uncontaminated surfaces • can be reduced by using short vertical surfaces & horizontal
cylinders
• Dropwise Condensation – surface is covered by drops ranging from a micron to large
agglomerations – thermal resistance is lower than that of film condensation – surface coatings may inhibit wetting and stimulate dropwise
condensation

Condensation: Film Condensation • Vertical Plate
– thickness and flow rate of condensate increase with increasing x
– generally, the vapor is superheated (Tv,∞>Tsat) and may be part of a mixture that contains noncondensibles
– a shear stress at the liquid/vapor interface induces a velocity gradient in the vapor as well as the liquid

Condensation: Film Condensation • Vertical Plate: Calculation Procedure
– assume a flow regime and use the corresponding equation for to determine Reδ
– if Reδ value is consistent with flow regime assumption, calculate total heat rate and mass flow rate
– if Reδ value is inconsistent with flow regime assumption, iterate on flow regime assumption until it is consistent
