The study on flow boiling frictional pressure drop characteristics of CO2 in horizontal micro tube which internal diameter is 1.5mm was made. Experimental conditions:heat flux(7.5-30 kW·m-2)
mass flow rate(300-600 kg·m-2·s-1)
and saturation temperature(-40~0℃). Experimental results show:The increase of heat flux makes little effect on frictional pressure drop
almost zero; mass flow rate is the main factor that affects frictional pressure drop; the frictional pressure drop decreases as the saturation temperature increases; the effect of vapor quality on the frictional pressure drop is mainly caused by the change of the flow pattern in the tube. The trend of the experimental measured frictional pressure drop is plotted in CO2 flow regime chart and it is found that the theoretical prediction of the maximum value of the frictional pressure drop falls in the end of the annular flow region. Making visible study on flow regime change in each working condition during the experiment process and the theoretical pattern is consistent with the flow pattern of the actual CO2 in the micro tube in general.
