Abstract

There are two kinds of models in two-phase pressured drop; homogeneous flow model and separated flow model. Many previous researchers have developed correlations for two-phase pressure drop in a microchannel. Most correlations were modified Lockhart and Martinelli's correlation, which was based on the separated flow model. In this study, experiments for adiabatic liquid water and nitrogen gas flow in rectangular microchannels were conducted to investigate two-phase pressure drop in the rectangular microchannels. Two-phase frictional pressure drop in the rectangular microchannels is highly related with flow regime. Homogeneous model with six two-phase viscosity models: $Owen^{(21)}$'s, $MacAdams^{(22)}$'s, Cicchitti et ${al.}^{(23)}$'s, Dukler et ${al.}^{(24)}$'s, Beattie and ${Whalley}^{(25)}$'s, Lin et ${al.}^{(26)}$'s models and six separated flow models: Lockhart and $Martinelli^{(27)}$'s, ${Chisholm}^{(31)}$'s, Zhang et ${al.,}^{(15)}$'s, Lee and ${Lee}^{(5)}$'s, Moriyama and ${Inue}^{(4)}$'s, Qu and $Mudawar^{(8)}$'s models were assessed with our experimental data. The best two-phase viscosity model is Beattie and Whalley's model. The best separated flow model is Qu and Mudawar's correlation. Flow regime dependency in both homogeneous and separated flow models was observed. Therefore, new flow pattern based correlations for both homogeneous and separated flow models were individually proposed.

2 상 유동 압력강하에 대한 모델은 균질유동모델과 분리유동모델 두 가지가 있다. 많은 선행 연구자들은 마이크로채널에서의 2 상 유동 압력강하에 대한 상관식을 제시하였고, 대부분은 분리유동모델에 해당하는 Lockhart- $Martinelli^{(27)}$의 수정된 상관식에 기초하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 사각 마이크로채널에서의 압력강하에 대한 연구를 위해서 액상의 물과 기상의 질소를 사용하여 사각 마이크로채널에서의 실험을 수행하였다. 2 상 마찰 압력강하는 2 상 유동양식에 큰 연관성을 가지고 있는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 6 가지의 2 상 점성 모델을 포함한 균질유동 모델 ($Owen^{(21)}$'s, $MacAdams^{(22)}$'s, Cicchitti et ${al.}^{(23)}$'s, ${al.,}^{(24)}$ Beattie and ${Whalley,}^{(25)}$ Lin et ${al.}^{(26)}$)과 6 가지의 분리유동 모델 (Lockhart and $Martinelli,^{(27)}$ ${Chisholm,}^{(31)}$ Zhang et ${al.,}^{(15)}$ Lee and ${Lee,}^{(5)}$ Moriyama and ${Inue,}^{(4)}$ Qu and $Mudawar^{(8)}$)에 대한 평가를 실험결과와 비교를 통해 수행하였다. 가장 우수한 2 상 점성 모델은 Beattie and Whalley 의 모델이었고, 가장 우수한 분리유동 모델은 Qu and Mudawar 의 상관식이였다. 균질유동모델과 분리유동모델 모두에 대해서 2 상 유동양식에 종속성을 나타내었다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 2 상 유동 양식에 기초한 새로운 상관식을 균질유동모델과 분리유동모델에 대해 각각을 제시하였다.
