Experimental study on pressure drop for subcooled water flow boiling under high heat fluxes
Subcooled boiling has been widely used in high heat flow cooling applications
such as fusion reactor divertor cooling and pressurized water reactor core cooling. In this paper
the pressure drop characteristics of subcooled water flowing in a vertical stainless circular tube are experimentally investigated under high heat fluxes condition. The test tube has an inner diameter of 6 mm and a length-to-diameter of 44.4. The operating parameters are as follows: heat flux
q
= 7.5—12.5 MW/m

mass flux
G
= 6000—10000 kg/(m
2
∙s)
pressure
p

and inlet fluid temperature
T
b
= 80—200℃. The effects of mass flux
heat flux
pressure
boiling number and Jacob number on subcooling boiling pressure drop were discussed. The results show that subcooled boiling pressure drop increases with increasing heat and mass fluxes but decreases with increasing pressure. The experimental data are compared with the available empirical correlations
and it is found that these correlations cannot well predict our data
which may be mainly due to the variations in operating parameters and working fluids. Moreover
it is observed that the subcooled boiling pressure drop is affected by diameter effect. Therefore
a new correlation is proposed based on our previous correlation
in which a correction term for diameter effect is added. The new correlation can capture the experimental data within ±18% error bands.
