A mathematical model of annular flow in vertical rectangular narrow channel was developed and experimental verification was performed in order to study flow and heat transfer characteristics of annular flow in vertical rectangular narrow channel. Through numerically solving the mathematical model
pressure gradient
boiling heat transfer and liquid film velocity profile in the annular flow region were obtained. The present model could well predict pressure gradient and boiling heat transfer. The liquid film velocity profile of annular flow in the normal direction was not linear
and liquid film velocity gradient was large in the laminar boundary layer. Rectangular narrow channel size and heat flux had significant effect on liquid film velocity profile. Liquid film velocity increased with increasing heat flux and decreased with increasing channel size. The effect of mass flow rate on liquid film velocity was smaller than the effect of heat flux and channel size
and liquid film velocity decreased with increasing mass flow rate.
