AI总结:

本文基于最小能量法建立模型,研究湍流对竖直管液膜最小厚度的影响,发现计入湍流会显著提高最小液膜厚度和最小流量,并在90°接触角下使厚度增加22%、流量增加75%。

摘要:

当液体以低流量沿竖直管流下时,可能无法以液膜形式完全覆盖表面,流动将由若干被未润湿区域分隔的细流组成。在许多工业传热传质操作中,需要预测最小液膜厚度及相应的最小流量,低于该流量时液膜无法维持。本文利用最小能量法建立了一个模型,用于计算沿竖直管流下时可维持的最小液膜厚度。结论是,在模型中纳入湍流效应可显著增大计算所得最小液膜厚度的值。在这些计算中(针对100°C的水在6 mm内径管中流下的情形),湍流效应随着管与液体接触角的增大而增强。对于接触角最大为90°的流动,最小液膜厚度比层流值增加了22%,相应的最小流量增加了75%。计算结果与降膜蒸发器获得的实验数据进行了比较。

英文摘要:

When a liquid flows down a vertical tube at a low flowrate, it may not be able to completely cover the surface as a film, and the flow will comprise a number of rivulets separated by unwetted areas. Predictions of the minimum film thickness and corresponding minimum flowrate below which films cannot be sustained are needed in many industrial heat and mass transfer operations. In this paper a model is developed using the minimum energy method to calculate the minimum film thicknesses that can be maintained for flows down a vertical tube. It is concluded that inclusion of the effect of turbulence in the model can significantly increase the values of the calculated minimum film thicknesses. In these calculations (for 100 deg C water flowing down a 6 mm inside diameter tube) the effect of turbulence increased as the tube to liquid contact angle increased. For a flow at the highest contact angle of 90 degrees, the minimum film thickness increased by 22 % above the laminar value and the corresponding minimum flowrate increased by 75 %. The results of the calculations are compared to experimental data obtained from a falling film evaporator.
