Notes:
A combined experimental and theoretical study of the droplet deposition and mist supercooling in a turbulent channel flow has been performed. The measurement of droplet deposition on the unheated and heated channel wall was carried out using a particle-sizing two-dimensional reference-mode laser-Doppler anemomentry technique in a 41 mm × 41 mm vertical square channel at Re = 1.0 × 104 - 6.05 × 104. The dimensionless deposition coefficient kd/uZ. H. Yang Prof. S. L. Lee Department of Mechanical Engineering, State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY 11794 (USA) is analyzed theoretically based on a new unified theoretical approach for the entire transverse flow region from the turbulent core to the quasi-laminar region next to the boundary wall. The proposed analytical model shows satisfactory agreement with the results of present experimental measurement. In the mist supercooling, the heated surface is cooled by the evaporation on the outside surface of an extra thin continuous liquid film which is maintained by the continuous deposition of extremely small droplets of an optimal size determined by a selection process on the droplets transverse migration due to the dynamic interaction between the phases in a parallel turbulent mist flow. The heat transfer enhancement coefficient depends on droplet deposition rate, droplet size, concentration and the Reynolds number.
